I don't see what disrespect for the dead has to do with being an "unapologetic conservative".

Whether you agreed with Paul Wellstone or not, I don't think you'll find anyone in the United States Senate that felt he was anything other than an honorable man acting on pinciples he believed in strongly. Even Jesse Helms has called him a friend.

Is there anything at all "conservative" about this thread? Do the comments here represent what has become of the Republican Party? If so, I want no part of it and I'm sure that great Republican leaders from Goldwater to Reagan would be ashamed of what was here if they were able to see it.

One thing is for sure and that is the indisputable fact that the great majority of comments in this thread exhibit no trace of Christian love or conservative compassion.

Paul Wellstone was a liberal, yes. But Paul Wellstone was also a living, breathing human being. He is lost along with his wife, a daughter, three campaign aides who were working for what they truly thought was right and two pilots that will never see their families again.

You people making these hateful posts should be ashamed.

I am in total agreement. These posts are plainly un-American, and I know a thing or two about being American. I am a Life Member of NRA, and own a fine collection of firearms, but that does not mean that I could possibly post what I am reading here.

These people are a shame, if not ashamed.

Bite me. If Jesse Helms or Tom Delay would have died in a plane crash, the raw hatred from the liberal media as well as from Hollywood and the DNC would have been overwhelming.

I didn't see any sympathy from the left-wingers when Reagan announced he had Alzheimer's.

It's a two-way street, buddy...Wellstone's death is unfortunate but you're not going to see me shedding tears and blowing my nose on a hanky.

"the great majority of comments in this thread exhibit no trace of Christian love "

This is not a Christian site. It's a political site. Those posters who don't know the difference should get an attitude adjustment. Most of us don't like to be preached to.

"I don't see what disrespect for the dead has to do with being an "unapologetic conservative"."

Exactly. Some of us value the truth more than silly social customs. "Respect for the dead" indeed, never was there a more useless notion. The dead can't see your respect.

"One thing is for sure and that is the indisputable fact that the great majority of comments in this thread exhibit no trace of Christian love or conservative compassion."

You want Christian "love"? No, I suspect you want a hippie Christ and a washed out gospel with no truths.

Proverbs 10:29 The way of the LORD is strength to the upright: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.

I don't know about anyone else, but I save (conserve, if you will) my compassion for things more deserving.

PS to Victor_over_Tyranny: Conservatism is more than being a gun owner. Pass it on.
