GREENSBORO, North Carolina / The Carolinian / Opinion / November 11, 2009

By John Sanford Friedrich

But what, exactly, is liberal about a 50-year-old toothless goatherd taking a nine-year-old girl for a bride, and then proceeding to "consummate" the wedding with her in a room full of people?

Or when a village, that has few standing structures, builds a wall:

Not to start a school, but to topple on accused homosexuals.


An old man with an underage bride in Afghanistan.
