Which is why I find the comments of many anti-abortion people here hypocritical in their praise of a woman who advocated the right to slaughter the most Innocent of human life. It’s just dumb to make a light hearted comment about how you disagreed with her, but she was a good person. First off these people didn’t know her personally. They might as well be saying “I didn’t agree with her when it came to slaughtering babies, or on most other matters, but she was a good woman with a good sense of humorâ€. Saying stupid stuff like that doesn’t make you a better person, and it doesn’t make you look like a better person. It makes you look like someone who thinks they are better and more moral than others while being completely ignorant of what they are actually saying.
That’s kind of why I used the word “compartmentalizing”. You have to do that if you’re a conservative that somehow believes someone like Ferraro is a good person, given her worldview.
I think by saying she’s a good person it diminishes people who really were good people. You start lumping in bad people with good people and saying there all pretty much the same.
Not good.
