The man accused of assassinating the top Democrat in the Minnesota House held deeply religious and politically conservative views, telling a congregation in Africa two years ago that the U.S. was in a “bad place” where most churches didn’t oppose abortion.

    Abortion is wrong but assassination is fine?

      because it’s not about being “pro-life”, it’s about controlling women’s bodies

      Religious conservative nuts feel the same way about people who are in favour of abortion as many people in the US feel about health insurance CEOs.

      From certain standpoints, assassinations appear acceptable.

        The difference being that one side has some reasonable arguments for their point of view.

          The problem with that is that every side believes they have reasonable arguments to kill.

          “Reasonable”, unfortunately, is subjective. Just ask Rupert Murdoch.

            No it is not. The unreasonable people like to claim that but that doesn’t make it true.

              The fuck is this sitting at even votes for? Reason is not subjective. That line of thinking is how we lost our consensus reality.
