I think Ron Jr. was taking a swipe at the clintons (with the biggest, black Bible they could find), the kerry's who tried hard to make a real sign of the cross and the rest of the phoney politicians who find a church for a photo op. I didn't think it was a swipe at GWB. I don't think he's that distasteful but who knows for sure, he's a Seattle leftie.
Ok the only comment by Ron was the optimism vs. realism comment. Is he saying that the reality is we should be reactive vs. proactive? Its going to take me hours to find the freepers comments on this..but frankly I found that to be a jab at his fathers nature of good vs. evil. A pessimistic person normally lives a sheltered sad life.
Anyway lead me in any direction on FR if this was discussed.
Ron Jr. is a Democrat and he has made some pretty nasty comments about Dubya in the past. I was going to post an article from Salon.com of an interview with Ron Jr. in which you could read yourself the nasty comments; however, the bottom of the page states that you cannot print without express permission from Salon, so I didn't post it.
I knew about these comments prior to the funeral, so when I heard his remarks I knew he was speaking of Dubya --- and it really was uncalled for. Everything about the ceremonies in the past few days was well-nigh perfect. Why do this?
