What are the odds that liberal would be a good man?

This is what I am waiting for, when Ronald Reagan dies, I want to hear some ultra-liberals praise him. (I don't think it will happen...)

I admired Wellstone for being honest about his core beliefs and fighting for what he believed. My Congresscritter, Chet Edwards, acts like Tom Delay at home but votes like Shelia Jackson-Lee in D.C. While I'm typing this reply he's running an ad about how much he opposes partial birth abortion even though he voted against limiting it every time it came up for a vote.

This particular "liberal" wanted to destroy America and replace it with a socialist "worker's paradise".

I can't bring myself to call him a "good" man. Nice maybe, but not at all good.

"Liberal" is a deceptive description, designed to make him look good to some. In truth, he was a radical leftist, 60s style. Grieving is one thing, but these people making him out to be something he wasn't is dishonest. Typically, right wing pundits put good manners above principle.

About the same as stalin, being a good man.

Roughly the same odds that a 50 year old whore who's been skinning sailor's drawers down for 35 years would be a virgin.

Liberalism is evil, and those who practice it are evil.

To the mewlers and pukers here at FR... He's dead. He can't do any more damage to our country. Bury what little is left of him and saddle up.

It reminds me of when I was in High School. I had a friend who was largely ignored by most of the student body. He was a very average student and athlete, but he lived next door to some friends of my parents, we became friendly as kids and stayed friends. I may have been the only friend he had in school. One day it was announced before 1st period that my friend had been killed the night before in a car accident. I was shocked and very saddened, but not nearly as shocked as I was at the way everyone in school reacted. Girls who wouldn't have given Tony the time of day if he'd ever screwed up the courage to ask for it were crying and sobbing about what a great friend they'd lost...teachers too. It seemed like everyone wanted to be part of something sad, like they wanted to gieve and felt good doing it.

Ever since then I've looked at these outporings of post mortem adulation with a very jaundiced eye. The makeshift memorials that spring up all over the place now wherever a tragedy occur always make me wonder just how genuine the emotion on display is..how much it has to do with the victima nd how much it has to do with people wanting attention.

I believe that it's possible. IMHO, there are two types of liberals: a) The type who really believes in what they say b) The type who uses the words of socialism to bring power to themselves.

I used to believe that Wellstone was merely misguided, like the people I described as type a. However, given his breaking of his term limit pledge, he may have been edging over to the type b liberal... On the other hand, it's possible that he was just doing what he believed was needed to combat encroaching liberties on his beliefs... It seems that most liberals believe that if they do what's for the "greater good," then a criminal act can't be wrong, for the ends always justify the means...

Steve Allen was a liberal and was a hell of a NICE GUY. I met him once. Allen didn't put on any celebrity airs. He even whipped out a small tape recorder and asked me for my name and address. I gave it to him and soon afterwards I received a nice letter from him. We exchanged letters back and forth for a few months after that. Nice guy. BTW, I didn't discuss politics with him but he was so interesting that we had lots of other things to talk and write about.

[verity]

Well, he was not known for beating his wife, abusing his children, or kicking his dog.
