Adam Magazine on the Crazy Years

Looting, killing and raping -- by twisting their words they call it "empire"; and wherever they have created a wilderness they call it "peace" -- Tacitus

Friday, September 14

So far relatively few have used this terrible tragedy for political points. Here is what Jerry Falwell said on the 700 Club: "I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People for the American Way - all of them who have tried to secularize America - I point the finger in their face and say, 'You helped this happen.'" Pat Robertson concurred: "Well, I totally concur, and the problem is we have adopted their agenda at the highest levels of our government." I cannot express how personally wounded I and so many others are by his attempt to associate many Americans - some of whom were victims of this evil and some of whom were heroes - with the demons who carried it out. It is unspeakably wrong and inappropriate. We are at war. We must stand together or we will fail.
