help from the Dems
a young woman i know is voting for the first time next month. She asked me how she should decide her vote.
I explained one basic difference is how we balance "rights" vs. pratical realities.
Like Republicans balance our need to stop terrorism and think it is okay to kill terrorists and torture them to get information if likely to save innocent lives.
On the other hand Democrats put "rights " on a higher plane, even for people in al Queda who's only goal is to kill us. they take it to such an extent, I explained, that President Clinton passed on several opportunities to kill Osama because of his perceived human rights.
she said she got that, but then didn't understand how the Dems in the senate and President Clinton could then threaten ABC for wanting to show a movie about those decisions, even when the movie was clearly labeled as a docu-drama. She is asking whether the Dems put the rights of Al queda operativies to be free to kill Americans above ABC's right to free speech.
Can one of you answer this?
