Wellstone didn't allow his politics to turn personal. Paul Wellstone's speechy defense of partial birth abortion had a very personal effect on every child aborted by such means since he helped to keep the heinous serial killing method legal! That's pretty damn personal in my book as I speak up for the little ones.

Good man or bad, he is now in God's hands ... and it is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of an angry God.

I am completely overjoyed right now. MHGinTN and DWSUWF and everyone else who posted here what I have been thinking as well.

I have been to several different message boards lately, and even the regulars on anncoulter.org chat of all places are playing the sanctimonious "he was a good man/how sad he is gone/he was honest and sincere" song. EVERYONE is in on it! Conservatives expressing their logical opinions are having their posts deleted. And to me that is unbelievable from people who claim to be conservative. Maybe I have been missing something, but if liberalism is so anathema to us, why should we be sad when a liberal who believes as Wellstone did is dispached to the next world?

DWSUWF, your tone was exactly perfect--not disrespectful, not tearful. Just a pithy "move along."

As far as I'm concerned, Paul Wellstone was one of the reasons that America's heart is dying. It seems recent events are undoing the stranglehold that haters of freedom have had on it so maybe it can beat a little more strongly now. We are all FReer now that Wellstone is gone, and that includes the unborn.

Thank you thank you thank you, FReepers, for being here and expressing opinions that are so extremely unpopular right now. I think I will be posting here more often from now on, because I feel like I came home reading this thread.

Not that I disagree with you, buy you overlooked the point I was making. There is a very obvious dichotomy that exists between a liberal like Wellstone and a conservative like Reagan. I am a pro-life conservative, so you're talking to the choir. In politics, however, it serves no good purpose to take things so personal, if clouds your better judgment. If you allow allow your emotions to rule over your intellect, you're dead meat.
