You must ultimately find the place where you can be most effective, and this will inevitably be in doing what you're best at. In other words, no one is 'good at' saving the world; one is good at music or painting or writing or politics or science--and any of these can put one in a position to make a contribution toward saving the world.
I am not a fan of abortion. I do believe in a woman's right to choose, and I do think abortion should be legal, though I think there should be more limits and regulation placed on abortion, more counseling done beforehand, etc. However, whether or not you believe Dr. Tiller was a murderer for performing abortions (many life-saving, by the way), to act as though his murder is justifiable is nothing short of insane. It is disgusting, and it does nothing but hurt the cause of the "pro-life" movement. Do they not see the irony?
Mr. Leach said he and Mr. Roeder had met once, and Mr. Roeder had described similar views to his own. Of Dr. Tiller’s death, Mr. Leach said, "To call this a crime is too simplistic," adding, "There is Christian scripture that would support this."
The man being questioned in connection with the investigation is Scott Roader, 51, of Merriam, Kan. [...] Neighbors said they've seen a similar car at the house in Merriam. They describe the ongoings at the house as strange. They said it's a revolving door of men coming and staying there and describe what appear to be religious gatherings.
As someone who has always called what the Jihadists do terrorism, could I get a response from Malkin as to whether she believes this Christianist murder is terrorism as well? Imagine an Islamist fanatic had assassinated a pro-Israel rabbi in a synagogue, and had harassed synagogues for years, including one arrest for bomb materials in his car. Imagine if one of his associates had tried to kill the rabbi before. Would there be any question that this was Islamist terror? So why is this not Christianist terror?
These questions are obvious to me, but obviously they are not obvious to people like Michelle Malkin and Bill O'Reilly, who are clearly enablers of these heinous killers.
Randall Terry, Founder of Operation Rescue, will hold a press conference to discuss how the pro-life movement should deal with Dr. Tiller’s death...
Mr. Terry states: "We must not fear, we must not flinch, we must not retreat a single inch. George Tiller was a mass murderer, and we must continue to say so in his death just as we did in his life.
Terry said he was now concerned that the Obama administration "will use Tiller's killing to intimidate pro-lifers into surrendering our most effective rhetoric and actions.
If he means that this will help the passage of the hate-crimes bill and will work against the murder of human beings in cold blood in front of their churches, let's hope he's 100% correct.
Finally, do not be coaxed into thinking these people are just a few bad apples, or fringe elements. They are well-backed, well-financed, and seen as heroes by many. The responses on Twitter are a testament to that.

Thanks, CarlNation, for that summary. Frighteningly, that's all it is - a summary. Check out the Twitter search results for up-to-the-minute hate and bile. I fear for my country when this kind of thing can happen and so many outwardly and hatefully support it. When, inevitably, this insane (accused) murderer ends up on death row, I will protest it, because no murder is fair or right - not even the murder of sub-human cretins like these right wing crazies.
