I would await more information before making a definite judgment, hence the question mark in the article's title, but we've been given enough info for the moment to at least ask the question.Samuel Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934870299522899944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8820814198873126054.post-86873861707304834552008-07-28T20:42:00.000-04:002008-07-28T20:42:00.000-04:00I really can't say for certain that a church takes...I really can't say for certain that a church takes a liberal or conservative stand, though most Christian churches, especially in the South, have been categorized as leaning toward conservative. If Mr. Adkisson is in your eyes a terrorist, what does that make the kids who shot up Columbine nearly 10 years ago before taking their own lives? What about the dozens of delusional, disgruntled, recently fired workers returning, gun in hand, to vent their vengeful rage on their former employers? Does that make them terrorists? NO! Until I read further into this, I'm putting him in the "disgruntled" category.hobbyfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08089664500077967952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8820814198873126054.post-53019581247137027422008-07-28T18:27:00.000-04:002008-07-28T18:27:00.000-04:00Certainly a good point.

He is just a hate-filled bigot. He probably thinks many people will silently cheer his actions, and he could be right.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
