Refrained from saying, "History will treat you like it treats the Nazi-era German legislators...."

I did, however, say to these two supposed "Christians"-- "What would Jesus do? Well, he told us exactly:
Suffer the little children to come on to you."

They are both parents of young children. I reminded them of that too, and said, "Think about what you would do if someone ripped your child out of your arms."

They won't even read them, I know, but maybe there's some mailchecker who will check off a box on a form.

BTW, in the dropdown box of "issues," there was one for "Animals" but get this, nothing for "Children". or Families. Weird.
