A great example of the difference between Democrats and Republicans

[Patiod]

46. I loaded that into my Dad's funeral Mass last week

He was a hard-core Dem who said he was "afraid for our country" when Ryan was nominated.

When they called from the church office to ask about what readings I wanted, I didn't hesitate: Matthew 25, plus the song that goes "whatever you do to the least of my brothers, that you do unto me".

In the "remembrance" portion, I said that my father's politics was "whatever the opposite of Libertarian is" and said that "he believed in community...He believed it was his obligation to help others, and that people who think only of themselves and their own families and their own money are deeply impoverished people, no matter what their back balance is."

I hated to politicize a funeral, but it was so much a part of the person he was that I'm not sure his friends (90% Republican) even noticed what I did there.
