The Left has made Che and Mumia icons, why not Saddam?

In 2007, ALL the cool kidz on the quad will be wearing Saddam T-shirts! They are worth at least a .5 increase in your GPA.

"Secular philosophy", huh? Saying most of the US was "in love with easeful death" sounds like a bigoted way to characterize mercy towards a woman whose brain had rotted away.

Quit acting like religious folks have the moral high ground. For example, it wasn't the lib'rul media who ignored, then hid and then excused tens of thousands of incidents of child sex abuse; it was the Catholic Church.

Scumbags are scumbags, whether they're religious (the Taliban) or not (Che Guevarra).

And if you don't think Believers can support, or even perpetuate injustice, then who do you think is suicide bombing civilians from Israel to Iraq to Indonesia? Secular humanists? College kids? The "MSM"? Left-leaning journalists? No. It's some of the most devout folks on earth, in action.

"it wasn't the lib'rul media who ignored, then hid and then excused tens of thousands of incidents of child sex abuse; it was the Catholic Church."

I'm not sure how many over how long a period it was, but would you like to comment on the many, many cases perpetrated by non-church persons, and ignored by or covered up by liberals? I could cite the pervasive sexual abuse of children by UN Peacekeepers and officials, covered up by the UN bureaucracy, and almost entirely ignored by the liberal press because they don't want to harm the reputation of their darling UN. Ditto the abuses perpetrated by Mao and Daniel Ortega and other heroes of the liberal "intelligentsia." But then, any social class that can, still today, honor and idolize a monster like Che Guevara has definitely got problems. Express admiration for Mao and liberals will find you intelligent and sophisticated. Express admiration for George Bush and watch your free time skyrocket as your liberal "friends" cease to invite you to parties while, behind your back, they sadly comment on your descent into fascism.

It's already begun. Listen to the news anchors whenever they run footage of his trial.

I hear you on the intolerance of the oh-so-"tolerant" left, and I've blogged about the UN outrages and their scant coverage:

And the abuse cases in the Boston Archdiocese were in the tens of thousands over the past half-century.

Like I said, scum is scum. My point was that the implication that secularism -- or even siding with the husband in the Schiavo case -- is to blame for immorality.

Whoa, I think she nailed it.
