Grumpy is as Grumpy Does...

I feel that one who twists that which many use in a positive way to bring about hatred, racism and violence against one's fellow human is not worthy of being memorialized by myself:

""I listen to feminists and all these radical
gals - most of them are failures. They've blown it.
Some of them have been married, but they married
some Casper Milquetoast who asked permission
to go to the bathroom. These women just need a man
in the house. That's all they need. Most of the
feminists need a man to tell them what time of day
it is and to lead them home. And they blew it
and they're mad at all men. Feminists hate men.
They're sexist. They hate men - that's their
problem"

Rev. Jerry Falwell


I do not believe the homosexual community deserves
minority status. One's misbehavior does not qualify
him or her for minority status. Blacks, Hispanics,
women, etc., are God-ordained minorities who do indeed
deserve minority status.
Rev. Jerry Falwell, USA Today Chat, quoted from The
Religious Freedom Coalition, "The Two faces of
Jerry Falwell"





"I do question the sincerity and non-violent
intentions of some civil rights leaders such as
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Mr. James Farmer, and
others, who are known to have left-wing associations.
Rev. Jerry Falwell

"There are almost as many alcoholics as there
are negroes."
Rev. Jerry Falwell


And if, by chance, he didn't directly reference or offend you with those...I offer you this:

If you're not a born-again Christian, you're a failure
as a human being.
Rev. Jerry Falwell


So I say this as a failure as a human being, a failure as a wife, and one who cares about the rights of those who number as many as alcoholics and others who "deserve" their status as hated in the eyes of this man, I feel no grief, I feel no need to respect his passing. I've never done this before. I didn't dance on Reagan's grave, I found no joy in Tony Snow's diagnosis, but we're talking about a man who would have hypocritically "praised God" at your or my passing. So be it. He's gone. The world is, indeed, a kinder place...where his words will never again twist the minds of those who can't think for themselves.

Thank you.
