Double Standard in politics concerning murder?

Question

Why is it the conservatives call abortionists 'murderers' when those same conservatives support an unjustified war that kills innocent civilians and our military personel??

Answer 1

It's called working the vote. No one actually cares about any issues except will I get (re) elected.

Answer 2

Because, like the jihadist terrorists the left supports, abortionists target specifically innocent human life.

First, the war is not 'unjustified'. This is just too stupid to debate any more. Get over yourselves.

Second, the US did not deliberately target innocent civilians.

Third, the vast majority of the civilian deaths in Iraq are due to the Sunnis - the Baathists and the Wahhabists and al Qaida - murdering the Shiites, who have now started murdering the Sunnis right back.

We are trying to stem the violence, but if they don't seek peace themselves, there's hardly anything we can do to force it on them.

So, can we stop with the stupid and silly "equivalence" spewings? These are NOT equivalent.

Answer 3

I read the mission statement of the American Communitarian Party
with great interest. I agree with many of the tenets stated within the text, especially "none of the current political parties in America truly represent a balance of solutions for the economic and social problems that plague our nation." I suppose that an answer to your question lies in conservatives' definition of murder. If abortion to a conservative is murder and war is not, then the casualities of war (i.e. murdered civilians) were not in fact murdered.
Civilians killed during war are not "casualties, they are murder victims, plain and simple. I don't know how conservatives can live with that.

Answer 4

Uh... this is another example of your liberal mind, or liberal subsconscious prorgramming talking to you. The death of civilians and soldiers are a sad fact of war that can't be avoided, and there is no intent to kill them for ulterior motives, despite what your liberalism tells you about George Bush and the "war for oil", or whatever.

And the post below about comparing abortion to the death penalty is another, especially poor example, tryhing to imply that the innocent could be on a moral eq;uivalency to the gulity.

All of these poor arguments are also poor excuses for attempting to justify abortion, our country's true murderous campaign being conducted by liberals. They are a way of looking at others and casting blame upon them for this and that, while not looking at yourselves and admitting the truth.

Answer 5

your view is different then theirs on the war to us the war is justified. abortion kills innocent lives while in the woman. the war in iraq and Afghanistan is a justified war to us as we were attacked several times first by ilam terroist and extremist and the countries that we're in supported them. before you pick on us they need to stop killing each other and ataacking others with sucide bombs and passing their children through the fires to Molech in Allah's name by using them as weapons by strapping bombs to them. all Gods want living believers and not dead martyrs. and stop killing and pillaging villages over nothing just as being turned down by a woman of a different faith for a date, did you ever think that noone wants to be treated like property and then when you are done you throw them out with no money and no place to live God said he hates divorce! too.

Answer 6

Hmm volunteer military or killing a baby for not being able to voice his/her opinion of wanting to live. No double standard Until you serve and fight for the freedoms you abuse you will never know the difference. Funny how libs try to make killing babies "right" Hmm is it because they don't fight back and the lib cowards do not have to put up a fight to kill a baby.

Answer 7

Wars happen because of bullies on the playing field, they happen....Abortion is a persons choice for being irresponsible, with there toys, and commiting murder.

Answer 8

What war that Republicans support is 'unjustified?'

Answer 9

Huh...

And here is one for you...

Against the Death Penalty but in favor of Partial Birth Abortions.

Unjustified war? HERE IS WHAT SOME OF YOUR "COMRADES" SAID BEFORE WE WENT INTO IRAQ::::::::WMD
"One Way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to develop weapons of
mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them. That is our bottom line." - President
Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998

"If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear.We want to
seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program." -
President Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998

Iraq is a long way from here, but what happens there matters a great deal here. For the
risks that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons
against us or our allies is the greatest security threat we face." - Madeline Albright, Feb 18,
1998

"He will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has ten times since 1983." -
Sandy Berger, Clinton National Security Adviser, Feb, 18,1998

"We urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the U.S. Constitution
and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on
suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its
weapons of mass destruction programs." - Letter to President Clinton, signed by Sens. Carl
Levin (D-MI), Tom Daschle (D-SD), John Kerry ( D - MA), and others Oct. 9,1998

"Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction
technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the
weapons inspection process." - Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D, CA), Dec. 16, 1998

"Hussein has ... chosen to spend his money on building weapons of mass destruction and
palaces for his cronies." - Madeline Albright, Clinton Secretary of State, Nov. 10, 1999

"There is no doubt that ... Saddam Hussein has invigorated his weapons programs. Reports
indicate that biological, chemical and nuclear programs continue apace and may be back to
pre-Gulf War status. In addition, Saddam continues to redefine delivery systems and is
doubtless using the cover of an illicit missile program to develop longer-range missiles that
will threaten the United States and our allies." - Letter to President Bus h, Signed by Sen.
Bob Graham (D, FL,) and others, December 5, 2001

"We begin with the common belief that Saddam Hussein is a tyrant and threat to the peace
and stability of the region. He has ignored the mandated of the United Nations. "We have
known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass
destruction." - Sen. Ted Kennedy (D, MA), Sept. 27, 2002

"The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October of 1998. We are confident that
Saddam Hussein retains some stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons, and that he
has since embarked on a crash course to build up his chemical and biological warfare
capabilities. Iraq's search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to deter
and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power." - Al Gore,
Sept. 23, 2002

"We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons
of mass destruction." - Sen. Ted Kennedy (D, MA), Sept. 27, 2002

"The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October of 1998. We are confident that
Saddam Hussein retains some stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons, and that he
has since embarked on a crash course to build up his chemical and biological warfare
capabilities. Intelligence reports indicate that he is seeking nuclear weapons..." - Sen.
Robert Byrd (D, WV), Oct. 3, 2002

"There is unmistakable evidence that Saddam Hussein is working aggressively to develop
nuclear weapons and will likely have nuclear weapons within the next five years ... We also
should remember we have always underestimated the progress Saddam has made in
development of weapons of mass destruction."- Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D, WV), Oct 10,
2002

"He has systematically violated, over the course of the past 11 years, every significant UN
resolution that has demanded that he disarm and destroy his chemical and biological
weapons, and any nuclear capacity. This he has refused to do" - Rep. Henry Waxman (D,
CA), Oct. 10, 2002

"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein
has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery
capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to
terrorists, including al Qaeda members. It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam
Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and
will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons." - Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10,
2002

"We are in possession of what I think to be compelling evidence that Saddam Hussein has,
and has had for a number of years, a developing capacity for the production and storage of
weapons of mass destruction." - Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL), Dec. 8, 2002

"I will be voting to give the President of the United States the authority to use force-if
necessary-to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of
mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security." - Sen. John F.
Kerry (D, MA), Oct. 9,2002

"Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator,
leading an oppressive regime ... He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so
consistently prone to miscalculation ... And now he is miscalculating America's response to
his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction... So the
threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real" - Sen. John F. Kerry
(D, MA), Jan. 23. 2003
