I guess we’re all heroes and martyrs these days, well as long as we adhere to the Leftist doctrine (Washington Times<\/a> link);<\/p>\n

“This is about the loss of a man who was a saint and a martyr,” [Very Rev. Katherine Ragsdale, president of Episcopal Divinity School] said in an interview before the service. “He was a prayerful man who put his life at risk to protect others and died for it. People are in shock, outrage and mourning. They need a place to go.”<\/p>\n

Ms. Ragsdale said she once visited Dr. Tiller’s clinic in Wichita to defend it from anti-abortion protests. She has been excoriated on conservative Web sites for a July 21, 2007, speech in Birmingham, Ala., where she called abortion “a blessing.”<\/p>\n

Reconstructionist Rabbi Arthur Waskow of the Philadelphia-based Shalom Center said Dr. Tiller “joins the list of martyrs for ethical decency and human rights, killed for healing with compassion.”<\/p>\n

The rabbi said Dr. Tiller was “a religious martyr in the fullest classical sense, killed in his own church as he arrived to worship, killed for acting in accord with his religious commitments and his moral and ethical choices.” <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Like I said the other day, I think that what happened the other day to Dr. Tiller was terrible and his murderer should be punished to the extent that the law allows – but, Tiller was no saint. You can’t call his profession “moral and ethical” with a straight face. Oh, and how is the murder of innocent children “a blessing”? <\/p>\n

But, this is proof that Leftism has become a religion of sorts – a morally bankrupt and intellectually vacant religion. The degree to which you accept Leftist doctrine into your life determines your station in life. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
