Farewell to Frank Lautenberg -- the greatest public servant I know
Fox ^ | 6/3/13 | Julie Roginsky

Posted on 06/03/2013 12:11:53 PM PDT by workerbee

Goodbye to my friend, my role model and the greatest public servant I know, New Jersey Democrat Senator Frank Lautenberg, who died Monday at age 89.

Goodbye to the last member of the Greatest Generation in the United States Senate and the last of the liberal lions.

Goodbye to the man who is likely responsible for saving more lives than any other politician of his generation.

In 2000, Lautenberg retired from the senate seat he loved so dearly and instantly regretted it.

After all, this was the man who had authored laws that prevented tens of thousands of deaths from drunk driving and from second hand smoke and who saved countless lives by authoring legislation that banned those convicted of domestic violence from buying guns.

Resting on his laurels was not in his DNA.

He was also a rabid baby killer; championing partial-birth abortion.

He was the worst Nazi.

Yes yes yes, one of the “Democratic strategists” that Fox likes to pay big bucks to. Not unexpected for this kind of hot air to come forth from this source . . .

I am guessing that this woman is an atheist, as she has apparently channeled all of her worship energy into a dead politician.

authoring legislation that banned those convicted of domestic violence from buying guns.

It was also blatantly unconstitutional! Don't believe me? How far do you think a law banning someone with a misdemeanor charge of trespassing from practicing their religion FOR LIFE would go? Or how about a law banning someone convicted of misdemeanor disturbing the peace from every being able to vote? Even worse the law was an ex post facto law and RETROACTIVELY took the gun rights from someone that was convicted in the past, with no ability to restore the right. Not to mention that "domestic violence" is a throw away charge used in many divorce proceeding can can result from something as simple as once spouse calling another in violation of a court order.

...the greatest public servant I know...

Why do these asshats insist on referring to our congress critters as "public servants??"
With all the benefits and salary that these hacks vote themselves, how are they servants by any definition??
Public leeches should be the term used.

Back when the Arkenfuehrer ruled I can remember Bob Grant totally lambasting Frank for going back on a campaign promise...

“Is it okay if I throw up now?”

Just try to keep your mouth closed until you get to the bathroom. I hate messes.
