It seems Eric was forthright enough in his sentencing statement to truthfully speak what the actual agenda of the radical right is.

(AP) -- Eric Rudolph pleaded guilty Wednesday to four bombings in Alabama and Georgia, including the deadly blast at the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games.

justification for the Olympics bombing (or rather, he says that even though that would have been justification, his justification was because of abortion . . . so he attacked people in a public place with no involvement in any abortion activity . . . . what a genius.

"Even thought (sic) the conception and purpose of the so-called Olympic movement is to promote the values of global socialism, as perfectly expressed in the song 'Imagine' by John Lennon, which was the theme of the 1996 Games -- even though the purpose of the Olympics is to promote these despicable ideals,"
