1 Add the security beef up at Christian churches and conservative venues. This will continue till the Left feels the same response, which because of self restraint of the Right, will happen in civil war.

2 Some churches are catching up to the need, yes. The rest are still blind.

3 Is that like the feminist pink tax?

4 A bit more real, DarthVader. Before 9/11 my synagogue hired off duty police to organize traffic on the high holidays, when hundreds of cars needed to be drive in and out of the parking lot in a short period of time — much like Christmas and Easter services at many churches, I imagine.

But after 9/11 my synagogue paid off duty police to stand guard during the thrice weekly Hebrew school sessions (Tuesday and Thursday after school and Sunday mornings during the school year) and weekly Friday evening and Saturday morning services. The congregation paid to harden the building itself, adding security cameras along all sides of the building and overlooking the parking lot that piped into a security screen at the building secretary’s desk, then making all entries into security doors controlled by the secretary as well. When they sold half the property for a community center for the entire Jewish community, to raise funds and cut expenses for the synagogue, a satellite station was built into the community center entrance at Jewish community expense for the use of the town police, which is staffed seven days a week during business hours. This is separate from the police hired by the congregation to guard the separate synagogue side of things.

So you tell me, my dear: is that like having to spend out of pocket for tampons and Midol?
