You people are disgusting.

Metzenbaum, like every human, had his good points and bad points.

When the man passes, it is time to give it a rest.

By the way, I met him for the first and only time in 1971, and I found him to be a decent man.

People find Clinton to be a decent man as well.

Nearly all men are decent. But some of them like Metzenbaum have the mistake idea that they can perfect the world. They think that if they satisfy everyone’s needs that everyone will be nice and the world will be perfect and all the crime will go away.

These people will never admit it but they believe in Utopia. They are Marxist.

Metzembaum was a do gooder with good intensions. And I always say this and I mean it.

God save me from a man with good intensions.

People who mean well will take your freedom from you faster than you can say Jim Robinson.

Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, and Moa all had the best of intensions for their people (at least they said they did).

The leaders I want will govern least and let me take care of myself.

I may have like him as a man had I ever met him but as far as I am concerned Metzenbaum was a terrible Senator and is not deserving of my respect.

Yeah. And the President looked into Putin’s eyes and saw a good soul.

If we are so disgusting I suggest you get the hell outta here and never come back. Like all we need is to be yacked at by another limp wristed RINO.

Being a Senator is having forsworn any sense of decency.

Good for you. He was a liberal democrat. A pro abortion, gun grabbing, anti constitutional left wing extremist. I don’t mourn his passing.

No one is deserving of my respect who spends his whole political life trying to disarm me and leave me helpless before criminals, whether free-lance or “official.” Metzenbaum was just a big government gun-grabber and I can think of nothing nice about him. Sure, maybe he didn’t beat his wife... big yip! He fed at the trough of big government and was nothing more than a parasite on the American people, a pimple on our backside.
