31. These people are not conservatives

When one person hates another for the color of his skin, the way he worships or because he doesn't worship at all, his or her gender, because he prefers to sleep in the embrace of one of his own gender, or the language he speaks, then that person is not a conservative but a bigot. The do not deserve to be associated with honorable men with whom many of us may have disagreed sharply but respected, men like Barry Goldwater or William Buckley.

What kind of person would dehumanize a child? The same kind of person who would smash the windows of Jewish businesses on the direction of Dr. Goebbels, a person who's idea of relaxing day off is to go to the Coliseum to watch gladiators kill each other, the kind of person who would close a public swimming pool before allowing black children to swim in it, the kind of person who would bomb a Sunday school.

It's hard enough to call such people human.
