I found this note via this article at Swampland. It demonstrates that some conservatives know the difference between right and righteous.
[New Republic Online, "In a Classroom with a Gunman" by John Podhoretz]
I have to dissent, in the strongest possible terms, from John Derbyshire's shocking posts on Virginia Tech. The notion that a human being or group of human beings holding no weapon whatever should somehow "fight back" against someone calmly executing other people right in front of their eyes is ludicrous beyond belief, irrational beyond bounds, and tasteless beyond the limits of reason.
"Why didn't anyone rush the guy?" Derb asks. Gee, I don't know. Because he was executing people? Because if you rush a guy with a gun, he shoots you in the head the way he executed the teachers in each classroom?...A few were astonishingly brave, and deserve to be considered heroes. Everybody else was just a person either in danger of being murdered, being mortally wounded, or being murdered.

Thank God; I was beginning to think the Right had become completely depraved as well as seriously unhinged. This is the right answer to Derbyshire's and Blake's remarks.
