I agree. This man was no doubt the polar opposite of what most of us believe politically. But he was still a human being who suffered a horrible, painful death. If we can’t show enough human decency in a situation like this then exactly what “values” do we claim to be fighting for?

Hitler was a socialist too. So was Stalin. And Mao. And Lenin. And Beria. And Dzershinsky. And Trotsky.

Human decency? The guy pushed the same ideology as they did. An ideology responsible for hundreds of thousands of murdered human beings and their families.

I’ll give compassion and human decency where it’s due - to the victims of that oppressive ideology, not those who spouse it and defend it and wish to propagate it.

As for “values” - I value the freedom and right to live of all human beings, and I have ZERO regard for those that wish to control and otherwise run others’ lives through socialism, communisms, liberalism, fascism, etc., etc.

Sorry we disagree Buckeye, as I believe you and I have spoken before out here. It’s just the way it is.

Thank you, Buckeye. :)

On April 29, 2011, a retired police officer told the Sun News Network and the Toronto Sun newspaper that in 1996, Layton had been found naked in a massage parlour when police, looking for underage Asian hookers, raided the establishment.

I'm sure not fighting for these values. Layton was a Commie Lib. I will let God judge him personally, but I have no problem with others here taking a harder line.
