“...That was an awful, hateful post. I hope the mods delete it...”
You’re right. It was. Socialists are awful, hateful people.
“...Whatever his politics were, the man was a human being with family and friends who loved and cared about him...”
Socialists have destroyed many human beings, with families and friends, who loved them and cared about them.
Understand your sentiment; but it’s wasted on me when it comes to socialists. Sorry you’re offended, but it my point still stands.
One less socialist is never a bad thing.
In Canada, the choice is left and more left—admittedly the least left of the five parties in parliament is presently in power, but outside of economic issues even the leadership of the conservatives isn’t to be trusted (and on economic issues I would trust the liberals, at least under their immediate past leader, more than I would the U.S. Senate Republicans). That said, Layton did a wonderful job crippling two other left-wing parties, and while I would not exempt him from my tag line, the line does apply to most politicians, and I think it lacking in charity to wish him in Hell.
