There have been some horrible crimes in Arkansas over the last few days. Domestic violence seems to be exploding and culminated in several murders and suicides, and suicide by police. This is a crime of another nature and the person who committed it is just as sick as any other murderer.

A., if your two want to come over and help hunt this killer down, they are welcome here. There's plenty of room on the bed. Sully's a bit of a grouch, but Silky would welcome them. They've been honing their claws on the furniture getting ready for the killer's demise.

Sadly the link doesn't work
This was obviously a politically motivated crime. Something I don't understand, all over the world, the word liberal is a respected term, it usually means open minded and aware. In the US it seems to be a term of abuse verging on the same level as Commie Bastid. Why?
Obviously, the perpetrator of this crime needs to be hung up by his breeding equipment.

That is a word with a particularly odd slant among some hopefully small sections of US society, as evidenced bu its definition on that utterly barking website 'conservapedia'. I am not linking that here, as it is not a nice place. Suffice it to say that the first part of their definition is a long rant about religion, followed by another about being anti-commerce. The rest then follows, referring to 'corrupt programmes', 'censorship of teacher-led prayer' and then a whole raft of evils such as gun control, affirmative action, better health care for the poor, and among said list the following dreadful ideas:
"Taxpayer-funded and government-controlled public education
The denial of traditional gender roles
Insisting that men and women be placed in the same jobs in the military
Legalized same-sex marriage"
The site is utterly insane, but it does reflect the image the L-word has in the US.
PS: The world is actually 6,000 years old, and when Noah's boat came to rest on Mt Ararat, all of the meat-eating dinosaurs went West while the normal plant-eating ones went East, hence the difference between eastern and western dragons in history. And so on...

A persons animal should be safe no matter your politcal views . Extremism either left or right causes people to not think clearly and I hope they catch him/her.
here is a link that breaks down the most common differences

*shrug* now if we can just get rid of all the extremist groups, we might all be able to find common ground
Essential difference
Liberals emphasize a belief that government has a responsibility to act when action will probably lead to a common good. Conservatives emphasize a belief that government has a responsibility to refrain from acting when restraint is probably better than any action.
The devil is in the details.

The term has different meanings
...in different places. The term 'liberal' as used over there translates better here as 'socialist', but that has a lot of freight in America. The reason I pulled out the references I did was simple: the sort of mindset that butchers a cat and marks it with that word is not the sort to engage in reasoned "devil in the detail' discourse with some pinko commie faggot take ma gun from ma cold dead hands...
THAT is the issue. Not political argument, but unthinking bigotry. The trouble is, there are also a lot of bigots who can think.

Yummy! =D
Now THAT'S an idea I can REALLY get my teeth into! ;)
Don't be so sure...
of any particular political bias in this cat slaying. The left has a long history of committing crimes and blaming them on the other side. Teachers, Professors, soldiers, and activists -- the list is very long.
