There are times when the intolerance of the left for differing viewpoints is more disgusting to me than that of the right.

I’ve always thought that the hate of the right for human diversity is as motivated by fear as it is by anything else — fear of change and the inexorable march of progress.

It seems to me that sometimes, the hatred of the left for the right is mostly motivated by arrogance. I don’t know which is worse, but I’m not sure it matters.

Let Jerry Falwell be. He’s gone; I’m glad. But wishing retribution upon him in the afterlife seems foul. What (if anything) will be will be.

Big news: an overweight 73 year old man has died of heart failure.

What’s the surprise? Where’s the reason to either celebrate or mourn, if you didn’t know the man personally? Looks like nature taking its course to me. I wish people would stop gloating.

His ideals and methods will live on, of course. Focus on that if you want his death to spur you to some kind of emotional reaction, and then take action upon it.

If you believe his death means something or led to a post-mortem punishment for his life and actions, I would suggest that you’re pretty much right in line with a lot of how Falwell himself operated.
