I do not kill babies. I do not kill children. I do not condone ANY circumstance that ends the life of a child or brings harm to innocents downed in the cross hairs of adult perversion. There is NO circumstance whatsoever that legitimizes the murder of children. The term "collateral damage" ascribed to dead children or to the shredded bodies of living children is hideous.

The rite of passage from childhood to adulthood relinquishes the right to such irresponsibility. The whole process of maturation teaches the protection of children at all costs. Animals, both wild and domestic, abide by these instincts unconditionally. It is the aberrant adult dog who kills a puppy. And on the rare occasion such anomaly occurs, it confounds attendant humans due to the sheer unnaturalness of the act.

Our expectation for the compassion of canines transcends like expectations we hold for ourselves.

In the current debacle between Israel and Hezbollah, with the mounting deaths of Lebanese children, it is unconscionable for Israel to justify murdering these children by labeling them embeds of Hezbollah. One should convulse in shame at the insidiousness of such a declaration. To publicly declare the right to kill a child using proximity as exoneration of guilt, forfeits any claim to humanity. To willingly betray the life of a child, betrays every principal learned during the "normal" ascendancy from child to adult.

To these self-righteous ideologues I say: MAY YOU ENVISION FOR YOUR LIFETIMES THE FACES OF EVERY INFANT AND CHILD YOU HAVE SLAIN FOR YOUR CAUSE! What a pernicious badge of inhumanity.

Sadly, this badge of inhumanity isn't only worn by Israel who slays the children of Lebanon. Or by the Hezbollah who slay the children of Israel. It is worn by the Sudanese, who willingly decimate the children of Darfur. It is worn by the Congolese soldiers who savage the children of Congo. It was worn a dozen years earlier in Rwanda, when willing Hutus murdered hundreds of thousands of Tutsi children in a span of 100 days. The same badge of inhumanity was worn in Bosnia by the Serbs who murdered Muslim children, by the Turks who murdered Armenian children, by the Nazis who murdered Jewish children, and on and on and on.

Throughout the history of un-civilization, the badge of inhumanity has been worn by one genocidal ideology after another.

5. Have you read why this started?

Have you read about how this site started. Americans main stream media has been taken over. Just recently 60 minutes aired a show about greenhouse gases, the scientist interviewed stated how his studies are tainted by this current administration. He is only allowed to disclose what they have not crossed out in his report. Americans continue to be mislead into believing lies on a daily basis. Thank goodness for sites like this....internet seems to be the only real free press.
But yes, I believe those of us with knowledge of the truth....needs to get off our duffs and make sure our neighbors also know. :dem:

7. I am grieving

Thank you for your welcoming. You know I really am grieving....maybe I am still naive....want to live in a "leave it to beaver" world.....I am at a loss for what this country has become...these next elections are soooooooooo.........very important. Democrats have to win! I want my country back...I cant think of any.....not any ....moral events this administration has done. They have created crisis and division in the United States and in the world and have used deception, lies, and whatever means to do this.

8. welcome to DU, lisainmilo

I know there will be days when you feel down about our country and how bad things have gotten out of control. But at least when you visit here, you will know one thing: You are NOT alone, and we are for the most part HOPEFUL that things can change.

9. Grieving

is the first step to healing. But it always takes some work...and time.

You are not alone. Many of us are in this state or have been there-- having to watch what is being done to this country is depressing. It takes a support group to cope at times. But at least you're not in denial. It's necessary to accept that there really are those in power who create crisis and division for their own benefit. Maybe this kind of depravity needs to be exposed and we are the ones to do it. Nothing will change if we don't object to it. One thing I know--to do otherwise is to accept victimization. We have every right to live in a world that works. This is not working.

Seeing people like you coming to this point of no return, and the objection growing in general, I am encouraged that we will have what it takes to defeat these criminal abusers.

12. "MAY YOU ENVISION FOR YOUR LIFETIMES...

...THE FACES OF EVERY INFANT AND CHILD YOU HAVE SLAIN FOR YOUR CAUSE!"

We should make it our business to document names with pictures and descriptions of how they died of as many of these children as we can. What an egregious insult to the memory of Holocaust victims that so many (certainly not all) of their sons, grandsons, daughters, and granddaughters would support if not actively participate in such unforgivable atrocities. These are war crimes and if there is to be any justice, war crimes trials will be held for this at some time in the future.
