That darn word again


Leftist mayhem at Chicago's cathedral

"Part of i (sic) was Rachel Corrie, the American who didn't survive an encounter with a bulldozer."
What a callous way to say something, particularly at Easter. It seems that he disagrees with her politics so he phrases his comment in a way that suggests humour, stupidity on her part, or any number of other things, simply because the word 'liberal' is a curse word for him and because Ms. Corrie had the courage to stand up for her convictions and not sit behind a keyboard making snarky comments about people the way we do.

I guess to some people, if you don't take the position "patriotism (meaning the government position) über alles", you're not really an American. (Though some of us, the good Lord be praised, can never claim that classification.)
