"30 Easters ago, during another tragedy, as a student cried over the prone body of a dead fellow
student at Kent State
"

You know if the right-wing political hacks were sincerely looking for police-state action to compare with Kent State, well, they might have asked Rudy G for help mapinc.org

Just another example of how the conservative moral compass always points in the direction of shallow convenience:

On the one hand you have a precise rescue mission that, without inflicting injury and in accordance with international law, restores a son to the loving father that raised him.

On the other, the brutal slaying of a proud immigrant innocent of any crime. Just because he pulled his wallet out to identify himself (and because he was black while the firing squad was not.)

So guess which incident provokes national outrage among the Republican Leadership?

The GOP has been so diabolically hypocritical this Easter that one might expect to find scriptural augury. Perhaps a prediction of the anti-christ arriving on the back of an elephant?
