Said it before - he’s NOT one of my favorite people; he rammed through laws that are responsible for multiple deaths of innocent citizens due to being disarmed, in addition to one certain young drowning victim - but I still don’t wish that illness on him.
Like brother Gilbo said - God kept him around for a long time for a reason...we can’t second-guess “The Man Above”. Maybe it was just to keep OUR side in line, who knows?
To expect forgiveness, we have to give it.
BUT - that being said, we don’t have to forget, nor be foolish. He is one of the enemy, and has continuously sought to destroy everything we hold dear. I for one will not miss him, nor will I mourn his passing when it happens, and I pray that whoever replaces him will be a wiser man, maybe a bit more righteous, and hopefully conservative (but seeing as how it’s Massholachusetts, I doubt it).
Prayers for his family, for him and for his soul, for sure. That’s about as big as I can be towards him...
I think you’ve hit the proper tone. I agree with your comments. We’re not eunuchs. We’re going to have opinions on the guy. I remember when Nixon was laid to rest. Conrad of the Los Angeles Times used the occasion to trash him on the day of his burial. That’s one of the times I learned a life lesson. There was no call for that. He had ripped Nixon for decades prior to that. What would it cost to have Nixon laid to rest without some loser’s impulse of hate?
I’ve never forgotten that. I don’t want folks to think of me as that big a loser.
