Jerry Falwell died today. I didn't know the man. I wasn't his acquaintance. But he did a lot of good in America. He will be missed.
His body wasn't cool yet when the vitriol commenced on NPR. Hateful stuff. Leftwingnuts calling him all kinds of names. And the hosts just sat there and let it fly. I will NEVER send a penny to NPR. Never.
I'm not shocked. I have come to expect nothing less from the left.
Read daily Kos or Huffington. If there is any more hateful tirades I don't know what they would be.
These are the same people that screamed bloody murder when the right wing commented that they wouldn't miss Molly Ivins.
If I have a choice of who I will hang around with, Jerry Falwell is more my type. Molly never was.
So long Dr. Falwell. You did good work. Well done good and faithful servant. He heard that today.
Makes you wonder what Molly heard doesn't it. I had to say that to make up for the evil being said on the lefty blogs tonight.
They have no shame.

Still trying to justify why you were such an arse about Molly, eh? Not the same people, not the same thing, you have to trouble with the cliched multi-fruit mix, do you?
So what? People are mean on both sides of every issue. No one ever said they weren't. But Molly interjected humor into politics. Falwell interjected religion into politics. Molly made life better by making things light hearted and fun. Falwell created a threat to our separation of church and state that by creeps and bounds is still in motion. That makes life worse for most of us.
I am not saying it is right bo be mean or disrespectful to Falwell upon his death, but sometimes you don't like the sound of the truth so you call it mean.
And truly, to use others' meanness now to justify your meanness then is . . . mean.
Are these the days when wrong is twisted to appear right? So What you say??
Get a grip people and get back to what is pure and good!
It is never right to be mean. It is never right to take God out of anything. It is never right to break His commandments. Give me the light of God anyday over this imature nonsense. Dr. Falwell was a good man who walked by God's word. We may not have always agreed with his views, but he shared them in love and not with venom! Words can be like razors that cut or like a gentle breeze that makes one feel comforted, loved or at least heard. We all have choices, don't we? As for me,
I choose God almighty.
Falwell preached the Gospel and Christ as Savior and Lord of all. But he erred in his emphasis on premillenialism, urging people of influence to 'be kind to Israel", the political nation, because, he said, the Bible tells us to. He incorrectly taught that God works in two different ways -- one way with the "church", and another way with "Israel". God is not two-faced. Only the Gospel message of Jesus as the Christ-Son of God-Savior from sin will convert Jews, not by some extraordinary sign as purported by the Hal Lindseys, and Left-Behind novelists. I thank God for the saving message Falwell proclaimed, but not the religio-political bent in some of it.
Falwell was a person who spreaded and proclaimed and defended hatred of gays and women in the name of religion. But he was no different than thousands who do the same every day in the name of God and right. It is wrong. It is mean. Claim to be right and godly all you want, but such intolerance and bigotry are immoral and unethical, no matter how much they are bolstered by a 'religion'.
