"One consoles as one can; with love and steadfastness. The purpose of consolation is not to proclaim judgment; that’s someone else’s job. In times of grief, one gives one’s heart to another, in ways that will provide solace rather than pain — to embrace, them, help them and support them. Paul notes that one needs to be all things to all people in practicing one’s faith. And in times of grief, one must be a selfless friend."--Tony Snow

It's one thing to oppose someone politically. It is quite another to vilify them within hours of their untimely death. Earlier today, I was on the Washington Post website. Some of the comments after his obituary were respectful and gracious. They came from all kinds of people. But there were other posts that were toxic, vile and totally out of line. I noticed after I complained a few times, The Post took down the comment section. I was probably not alone because many people were appalled at the posts left by what appears to be liberal nutjobs. It seems that the hacks hired by the radical left can't even let a man's family have a day of respite before they have to throw innuendo and make up stories. Even the Associated Press allowed some fourth rate writer to insert an editorial comment into the story regarding Tony's death. This is not the way I was raised and I hope it's not the way most people in this nation were raised. And while folks like to blame this on the current administration, I saw just this type of rhetoric from the same type of writers right after 9/11. What is wrong with these people? Do they think they will get support or acclaim? I am the type of voter that the DNC so seriously needs to attract and I will tell you, there's no way I will even remotely consider aligning myself with people who resort to this type of character assassination on the day a man dies. I don' t like Ted Kennedy much, but I won't chortle and bring up his much more egregious faux pas on the day he passes. This is coming from the party that claims to want unity. But it seems that they want unity at a price. Their idea of diversity is that we should all be diverse together doing the same thing. In the real world that's called communism. Do you bloggers who are paid to place items by the likes of Soros and Moveon.org realize that you are alienating many of us? Is this really the way you think you will unite us, by vilifying us?

I am glad Tony didn't have to see it come to this. I hope his family finds so solace in the fact that he had a very full life and many friends from all aspects of the world. RIP Tony

I am glad to pat you on the back for your writing. As one who gave up on the Democratic party back during Viet Namm I can appreciate the attitude of caring that you show. It seems the Democratic party is so wrapped up in itself that if you don't agree with everything they say they don't think you are capable of caring. As a Conservative I do care what happens to people and I want everyone to have a chance to succeed in their lives. I just don't care for people who sit back and let others do their chores. The left wing will stoop to any level to make a point, you see that plainly in their blogs about Tony Snows obituary. Keep up the good efforts as there are fewer and fewer of those of us who really care.

Don you will appreciate this story. My Dad had been a lifelong Democrat. He worked the precincts, did the heavy lifting and for that in a major elecitons year, he was the delegate to the senatorial convention. He was so proud. But when he got to the convention site, his credentials were denied. It seems an activist judge, along with Democrat party officials decided that a conservative north Dallas precinct would be represented by delegates from La Raza Unida. My Dad, and others like him in that area, turned their backs on the Democrat party and never voted Republican again. Reagan won that year. I wonder what this Democrat bullying will produce this time around?

I am a teacher, a mother and wife and I like to think I am a pretty good citizen. I read ALOT. I also write a good deal on various blogs. I appreciate a chance to respond to what we see in the news. I think that by posting our opinions we can probably find that everyone is more alike than we are willing to admit. Face it, people just like to argue. I would also like to say how much I appreciate having a forum for my views.
