meh. if Hillary got hit by a truck, i won’t lie and say she should RIP. and not everybody here is Christian, or religious.
Please don’t forget his other accomplishment. He created and protected the Medellin Drug Cartel. Oh what a drug cartel builder he was!!
And peace to his living family as well.
Poor Bar Bush— she went from young woman look to grandma in just a few short years. Anyway may they be joyfully reunited in Heaven.
Christians are to be as wise as serpents and as meek as doves... meaning, we are to know and expose evil when we see it, while trusting that “vengeance is Mine, saith the Lord”.
Explaining the facts about the Bushes’ history is what Christians are SUPPOSED to do.
For example, that H.W.’s father financed Planned Parenthood with Margaret Sanger, while his son, George W. Bush funded Planned Parenthood for the entire eight years he was in office.
Facts shouldn’t bother FReepers. Or free discussion. Christians are to expose evil and warn others of what they know, lest God holds them responsible.
My prayer is that the Bush family truly finds Christ, each and every one.
Thank you..well put.
Why ONE DAY ??? Who decided THAT?
Next we,ll have monitoring of what is ACCEPTABLE to say.
Are we now following in the steps of Google?
What committee here will decide?
No thanks to Politburea deciding what I’m allowed to say and when...and don’t make YOUR opinion a Christian mandate.
Wasn’t she the boss - a matriarchy?
I am not in favor of stifling free speech, but I do think that having certain lines that no one crosses, for reasons of civility, is a good thing. Should it be enforced by a government? Hell no! But thus is JimRob’s property, not yours, mine or the public square - so HE decides, not you or me.
I will say to you what I regularly say to my kids: Just because you CAN do something doesn’t mean that you SHOULD. Knowing when to button one’s lip despite wanting to say something nasty it inappropriate is part of being an adult.
Please see my #28.
Totally agree. Sadly a few years back your comment wouldn’t have been necessary on Freeper. Definitely on DU, but not here. We used to take well deserved pride in that. How things have changed.
Thanks, I didn’t know that...and, yes, if he can find a line not to cross, so should we all.
@Zulu: maybe you could look at Doodlebob’s #14 for a bit more perspective. You know, just about everyone on FR has been shocked/outraged/ticked off at the fact that the Leftists seem to have not one shred if decency...so perhaps we should practice what we preach?
It’s not free speech. It’s called civility. It’s something we used to have in abundance here. You’ll have the rest of your life to criticize the man and his legacy. The fact that you can’t show decency for the deceased for 24 hours speaks volumes.
Just because you CAN say or do something doesn’t mean that you SHOULD. That is all that I am saying. That, and “Grow up.” I didn’t vote for the guy in 1992 because I found lots of fault in his actions, but I am choosing to give that a rest temporarily, and urge others to do the same. Let’s try not to emulate the thorough INdecency if the Leftists.
Besides, this is JimRob’s property, not the public square - so all of your do discussion about a Politburo is rather irrelevant. If he chooses to enforce any limitations on what and when people post here, then we all have to live with that or leave; same if he chooses NOT to enforce such limitations.
Jesus said let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God.
why ask everyone to be PC/Emily Post when some one dies?
WHat is “negative comment”, to speak truth or to say nice things avoiding truths?
no wonder our country is such a mess. Too many decent people sucked into made up ettiquite rules.
We are in a continual spiritual war in this world and yes maybe a moment of respect is needed, a quick pray for the family of the departed is all.
Those who want can get caught in in the sympathy longer but the battle is constantly raging on all around.
God calls a few to be there and support the family the rest of us are just rubberneckers tieing up traffic on roadway looking on the scene instead of focused on the road ahead of us.
You're doing the right thing.
That George H.W. Bush is likely facing eternal damnation in Hell is a solemn thing, and we should all be struck with a holy fear remembering “there but for the grace of God, go I”...
(I mean, Prescott Bush financed Planned Parenthood with Margaret Sanger — and financed the Nazi's before that — and H.W.’s son funded Planned Parenthood for the full eight years he was in the White House when the selling of dead baby parts began, without a public repentance before God for the family's public deeds)
But faking civility for the dead so you can consider yourself more righteous than unsaved non-Christians is the definition of hypocrisy.
And forcing others on FR to fake civility for someone of whom we do not know personally, but can surely judge his known behavior that contradicts Christ... is forcing us to be double-minded, fake and hypocritical.
I will point out facts about the Bushes when appropriate. It is the Christian's duty to expose evil when we encounter it and we are never to be disingenuous or fake... Paul actually warns against that.
Well said.
There is time for everything. A time to mourn and a time to dance, A time to throw stones and a time to gather stones together.
But I take it Zulu & co. would not be playing soccer on Christmas eve with the Germans. Preferring to sing the Marseillaise, "So that impure the blood of our enemies should water the furrows of our fields" and dragging the body of Ajax around eternally.
For some people it's always a time for war, never peace.
I agree with you. I still remember GHWB on TV giving his rousing speech going into the Gulf War. And when he extolled the New World Order, my hair stood on end.
I’m sorry, but the last American president that gave a shit about the American People was Ronald Reagan.
I’m praying Trump will stand firm. But deep inside...I’m not sure.
