I can not be the only one who has noticed that the people who seem to protest at abortion clinics and planned parenthood offices are almost always older white men, dressed badly in polyester.
I have never stopped to speak to these people, mostly because I tend to think of them as hypocrites and idiots. It's just a personal thing, since I don't bother to engage them, it is just an impression.
When these sorts do show their true colors, it is never enlightening, just reaffirming. During the lead up to the recent health care vote a congressman from Michigan named Stupak wanted to make sure that no government money would be spent to help a woman get an abortion. Not surprising to people who pay attention, Stupak is an older white guy wearing polyester. What is a slight bit interesting is that Congressman Stupak ended up supporting the health care law.
This sort of hypocrisy is so common in congress that no one really paid much attention. Well, some people, the other lowly educated, polyester wearing older white men (and their, umm, wives) paid attention, and being the sort who scream and yell, they called the congressmans office.
