We are the same people who were "astonished", "disgusted" AND "appalled" at the DemoCRAPS trashing the death of President Reagan. Yet, here we are doing the same thing. Let's not act like them. We are classier than them.
I think it would be useful to show some tact and follow the rule of "if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all.
RIP Lloyd Bentsen
If we are going to be classy, let's include correct grammar, too.
I've tried and I've tried. How about this?
The highway to/from Mexico in TX is named for him.
But to trash Bentsen now that he's passed on is classless, tacky, infantile behavior best suited to the "Dark Side".
The Left had their constitutional right to trash Reagan's policies as long as he was living and in good mental health. But the attacks rose in sheer viciousness once he had advanced Alzheimer's and the attacks continued shortly after his passing. Charlton Heston is now stricken as well; we will likely see the same puerile, tantrumy name-calling exhibited by democRATS & the Left when Mr. Heston passes on.
Thus, it's demonstrable to attack an opponent's position w/o resorting to name-calling. I concur that some people (eg. Kerry) are so astonishingly foolish that they deserve the actual title. But c'mon people, show Mr. Bentsen some respect; you wouldn't want people to speak the same about you when your time comes.
