May I vent???
I have read many of the vindictive posts concrning Reagan on this site. We are better than that! Yes, the freepers were rotten when Wellstone died but again, we are better than that. Yes, we disagreed strongly with his policies but lets not tapdance on his grave.

Thank you.

1. I agree...

Some of what I am reading is over the top, but its still a (sort of) free country. I draw the line at being attacked because I don't 'toe the line.' Ah well, whatcha gonna do? This too, shall pass...

3. I have to disagree with you on this!
Piling on a dead man is not carrying the sword! Piling on that sorry state of a president we have is carrying the sword.

4. I understand your frustation.
I wish that everyone I've grown to care about could on some level be exactly what I want them to be and behave in ways I want them to behave.

I think I'd like it if we could all treat these matters with decorum or at least silence.

Many of those I have grown to love and respect disagree to varying levels and I defend to the death their right to be express themselves as they would chose, and not as I would chose for them. I refuse to revile them, or shame them, or call them names, or love them any the less for being themselves.

:pals:

Love, peace and jellie babies.

5. They are a tiny few "tap-dancing" on his grave
I think there's a much bigger percentage who just don't give a shit, like me :hi:

Hell, Billy C could kick the bucket tomorrow, and I wouldn't care :shrug:

7. HUGE difference between Wellstone and Reagan
Wellstone never espoused (or put into place) policies that resulted in torture, massacres, deaths, giving WMDs to thuggish dictators, deprived poor people of aid, etc. etc. etc.

Ronald Reagan did.

Big difference. And those are part of the reason that he is now burning in hell.

We have something they think they have, but don't: compassion.
