We do not live our lives in a compartmentalized fashion, much as we might like to think that we do. What we do in one area, affects all of the others, for good or ill. Can a Congressman have a 68% negative voting record on abortion-related issues and not become unhinged? North Carolina Representative Bob Etheridge (D) seems to have lost it when approached on the street by two persons identifying themselves as college students. The Congressman assaults both the cameraman and interviewer, when all he needed to do was politely say, “Here’s my card. Contact my office. I don’t do street interviews with non-mainstream media.
People who vote for the slaughter of innocents have a mindset that allows for victimizing those without a voice. I doubt that the good Congressman would have had the same response to two men in their forties with much more sophisticated and expensive equipment. See the video here:

An angry, paranoid man. He knows he is wrong so lashes out at basically…teenagers (college age yes, but they looked, sounded very young). Charming.
But what can one expect from someone who sanctions and funds the killing of babies?…
Charming fellow.
