Shrill? We really are not talking about Monsignor Romero, are we? We are talking about pro-death, anti-choice, manichean bigots who think Islam is the work of Satan and Israel is to be supported so the Jews can convert or die when the Apocalypse comes. The sort of person who thinks justice will be served better with a dose of dogma. The last thing wrong with such people is that they are heretics.
