Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act Passes House

At least this is an issue about which most of our leaders can agree: Stopping animal rights terrorism. All except Dennis Kucinich, that is. He apparently doesn't know the difference between peaceful protest and threats to kill, bombing, identity theft, vandalism, physical attack, and the other myriad forms of "free speech" in which animal liberation terrorists engage.

Now that tertiary targeting has been targeted--the bill will soon be law--the real work begins. This fight is ideological. People have to be convinced that there is a huge difference between promoting animal welfare and asserting animal rights. If that crucial job can be accomplished, the liberationists will lose their financial base and their cover of hiding behind animal welfare-type actions. Let the education begin.

Don't hold your breath. In our celbrity obsessed age, and general complete lack of critical thinking skills, I don't see much of a rosy future on this front. 5 minutes thinking about the claims of animal rights wackos shows their thinking to be incoherent at best. Yet they attract many supporters.

I think we'd be better off just teaching kids sufficent critical thinking skills so they can see this sort of garbage for what it is.
