Jerry Falwell, father of the political evangelical movement, finally kicked it.
No RIP for him.
A big Peace Out, and maybe a Please Stay Dead.
I'm not saying I would have wished him dead directly, just that the world is a better place without him.
President Bush is upset.
He said Falwell lived a life of "faith, family, and freedom".
Said both he and Laura were "deeply saddened" by his death.
"He taught young people to remain true to their convictions and rely upon God's word throughout each stage of their lives," Mr Bush said.
Idiot.
Fucking Idiot.
If I could have made a list a week ago of people I would prefer for my President to ignore/disrespect, Jerry would have been pretty high on that list.
Here's a classic from Falwell, regarding 9/11:
"I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People For the American Way, all of them who have tried to secularize America. I point the finger in their face and say 'you helped this happen.'"
On AIDS:
"AIDS is the wrath of a just God against homosexuals."
Fun for the whole family.
Hey, try this one Jerry:
"sudden cardiac death."
Bye bye.
