RIP Miss Lindsey

Yeah, I do judge the actions of people when those actions affect many others.

 

So do you. Don't paint that as something unusual or inappropriate. 

 

I know the "of the dead, speak no ill" trope is grounded in Western religion. But from a historical perspective, the best time to judge, evaluate, praise, or criticize a person's life is right after they die, when the memories are still fresh. I have no doubt that the passage of the coming decades will blunt and soften Graham's horrible deeds in the public eye.

 

In any event, you were "berating" me for metaphorically dancing and pissing on his grave, but that's my right, as it will be yours when Obama dies. MAGA gets free speech and expression even as they try to blot it out for everyone else.

If I berate Obama when he passes you can label me a hypocrite all you'd like. But I won't..he nor Biden, Pelosi,Schumer, or anybody similarly categorized. Damned if I blotted out your free speech expression..I just said it wasn't decent or dignified. Huge difference. And I'm resolutely done with this meaningless dialogue. Rattle somebody else's chain link fence.
