Karen, What exactly do you mean by "..when the North treated the South this way after the Civil War, it backfired". What backfired?

What do you mean by "Gloating"? It's human nature for the rightous to rejoice when the wicked are cast down. Just like you cheer for the hero in a movie.
Bush needs to end abortion. This aint the dark-ages anymore. If he wasnt pro-choice I would have voted for him.
Still, what exactly did you see in Kerry?

@Karen: Nothing about my post involves "stomping people's faces in the mud". Quite the contrary, it involves ignoring them completely *when they behave in a disrespectful manner*.

I find it rather interesting that after all of the liberal mudslinging over the past two years ("Bush is a war criminal", "Bush = Hitler", "Bush is a liar!", etc.), that a liberal would complain about "stomping people's faces in the mud", especially when no such thing has occurred in the post she references.

Karen,
The South deserved to be punished for the Civil War.
Poverty does not cause abortion. Thats like saying "Soft pavement causes crime."
