you can have forgiveness ('they know not what they do') --but still have a healthy anger and resistance at the same time. Anyone who thinks like an extreme (extreme) conservative has been abused or twisted somehow, and that is sad. The problem is giving the twisted ones too much power and having no effective controls on that. It is a mistake to be too lenient. There are a lot of Democrats and moderate Republicans who have made that mistake. In an effort to "consider the other side" we have given too much rein to criminals and other idiots.

Maybe that's partly why many Americans (not at DU) seem to be having a hard time summoning up a strong rejection to the abuses the leadership is heaping on us. Why so many Americans were willing to go fight Saddam's abuses so we don't have to face the abuses going on over here.
