During the election I had a rather heated debate with Anglave about Bill Ayers.
He said something like Mr Ayers was following his strong convictions in doing the stuff that I would call terrorism.
Something sat wrong about that. Today I figured out what bugged me about it.
If Bill Ayers was following the courage of his convictions and that he did what he truly saw was necessary to save us from the evil that he saw, why then is he not proud of it? Well, he was until it started to hurt his buddy at the polls. Then all that pride and courage evaporated. We stopped hearing "Guilty as Hell/Free as a Bird".
Want a terrorist who really was following his convictions and remained convinced that what he did was required? Timothy McVeigh.
I don't condone what McVeigh did, but he didn't change his story about why or even if; nor did any conservative associate their campaign with him.
I think that's important.
