He used to be funny, but then he got political and simply MEAN.
Seriously though, his service in WWII requires reflection, but the other 3/4 of his life was insipid and juvenile, using his communistic atheism to belittle those of faith.
Like Walter Concrite, another commie atheist gone, and America is better for it. I will pray that he had a death bed conversion to Christ, and for his family. I for one, will not miss him.
Teddy and Walter now introducing him to Satan
In one of the shows he did on the second world war, he said something to the effect that "The worst thing Hitler ever did was to prove for all time that any peace is not better than any war."
And to the political constituency of which Andy Rooney is a part...killing millions of people wasn't worse than that.
Butchering human beings and tanning their skin wasn't worse than that.
Raining bombs out of the sky to reduce neighboring countries to dead wastelands wasn't worse than that.
What Rooney and his ilk hated most about Hitler is that he taught people that fighting and dying is sometimes the only option to not fighting and dying horribly anyway.
That is something Rooney and the left could not and can not forgive Hitler for. He made them work so much harder for dictatorial control.
The new attempt to mitigate this is the so called "Godwin's Law." It is neither intellectual nor conservative in nature. It is just a shorthand form of jumping up and down on the table screaming.
Sorry, I just can't muster any regret that he is gone. He needed Christ, but chose secularism in its most extreme form.
He used to be funny, but then he got political and simply MEAN.
Rooney must make his peace with God. Not me. His passing simply means a detestable man is no longer with us. That’s a good thing. I wonder who his replacement will be.
