It's takes a sense of entitlement to kill someone, more so to self-consciously prepare to kill someone. Some serving in the U.S. military seeing themselves on a holy mission from a Christian God are up to the task, a little too enthusiastically for Americans who want their country officially secular and substantively humanistic.

Link does not work - I get "you do not have permission to access ..." error - can not even get into main page (I think it wants the whole "...com/mainpage.htm" construct

    Still get 403 forbidden

    Perhaps you are signed in - cookies set?

    and as I said in another of your posts from this site; Google link does not work, reddit link does not work, newstrust link does not work; etc. so it's not just me

    I can not get the base smirkingchimp.com to work, still forbidden

    That's very odd, Eriq. I can get in no problem, and I am definitely not signed in to the site, I don't think I've ever seen it before.

    Still does not work for me

    Not in firefox, IE, Flock, Safari, Chrome

    Keep getting same error "403 forbidden"

    Again if you have ever been in to that (or a related site that sets a cookie) it may read that cookie; directly I keep getting errors

    Maybe you could go to that site and if there is a webmaster link report the issue

    Sorry that it doesn't work for you. I'm on their email list and get the information directly from the site.

    This one is a mystery to me. I deleted all my cookies, all my cached data, and got in fine. I suspect they might be blocking your IP for some reason, although I really wouldn't know why.

    eriq, have you tried going directly to the site www.smirkingchimp.com then looking for article?

      see my comment 2 - yes I tried that

      I am a webmaster, I know all the tricks; see my comments

      And, yes, even that link comes up "forbidden"

      Again, when you get on, ask the webmaster of that site what would cause this
