Have you ever seen a ‘hair’ split. Come on I have watched this unfold, kept my peace, and find what is typed most curious of exhibits of just how far people will go to appear to be wearing white linen. Betty Ford was what she was. And either we are for ‘life’ all ‘life’ or the liberals were 100% correct when they accuse ‘republicans’ of being for ‘selected’ life.
Indeed. She was a committed enemy to the pro-life movement and a recipient of a Lifetime Acheivement Award from the National Abortion Rights Action League.
She should be beatified and a statue erected next to Mother Theresa.
I don't know what you're trying to say with the above, especially your last statement. Are you claiming that it is somehow anti-life, merely to criticize Mrs Ford for being a strident advocate for slaughtering babies?
I am not condoning rude language. But there is nothing wrong with having a strongly negative opinion of Mrs. Ford ... and saying so. Simply because she has died is no reason to pretend she was other than ... "what she was," as you put it.
A lot of us conservatives resent being ordered to be all smarmy just because someone has died. Truth needs to be told.
And smarm ≠ "class."
What is truly hypocritical is to demand that comments be restricted to repetitive "RIPs" and saccharine praise -- when the deceased person was someone whose loudly enunciated views were inimical to all that we believe is right and decent.
