Snowden "has damaged American international relations and compromised our national security"

[Number23]

100. If all we saw in the news was images of dead children every time a war was conducted anywhere

in the world, all we'd ever see in the news would be dead children. I, and I would say the vast majority of people with even the most basic understanding of the word "humanity," do not need to see gut-renching pictures of dead children and their anguished parents in order to be for or against an issue. The fact that you apparently do does speak volumes about the stupor you have put YOURSELF in.

I put those that see nothing wrong with throwing pictures of dead children around in the same category of pro-lifers who have literally the EXACT same beliefs as apparently some of you on this web site. They also resort to using craven pictures of dead children, in their case fetuses, in order to make their point -- in this case to end abortions. And the only thing that's happened as a result of those methods is that they have repulsed, disgusted and enraged the very same people that they were trying to reach. Their tactics have had little effect on abortions performed.

But it is nothing short of astonishing that there are a (thankfully) very tiny group on the "left" that want to engage in the exact same tactics. These folks then sit back open-mouthed with shock when people have the exact same reaction to their idiotic, manipulative, exploitative actions that people have to anti-abortion protestors. Duh.
