Playing the game of politics to win, and not pulling any punches so as to increase your odds of winning, is one thing. I approve of it if the other side has and is doing the same, particularly if they are going to destroy your society if they win. It is, after all, NOT a game.

But, your approach of not even being decent enough to offer condolences to a political opponent when they lose a loved one (or, as I suggested in the alternative, simply keeping your mouth shut if you can’t find something decent to say), is both stupid and revealing. Stupid, because the vast majority of people believe as I do. Don’t you hope to get the votes of those people who are on the fence? How do you think that acting like the Democrats do, by dancing on somebody’s grave, is going to profit you in the next election? How is it supposed to get that swing voter to understand that you and your party are better than your opponents? Revealing, because it shows that you are, in fact, no different then the Leftists, for whom winning is the only thing that matters and the means by which you do so are irrelevant. That is NOT how a decent person acts. A decent person, as I have said here and in my original post, either does the decent thing and offers condolences at a time like this, or simply shuts the hell up.

I wonder if you are like this in real life, or only when you are (gutlessly) protected by of your keyboard.

As I said, you should wake up and smell the coffee.

Mine is not a political objection, but a principled one...a fundamental clash of ethics and morality.

The Bushes are the tip of the spear aimed at "who we are." Much like the Pharaohs of the past, they deem themselves worthy to decide for what purposes my life will be spent.

As the Pharaohs of old sentenced others to slave away building monuments to their greatness, so the Bushes and their ilk will build their towers in tribute to their vision of what I must be forced to serve...multicultural, open border brick by brick.

I do not weep for those who seek to enslave me.
