Rest in Peace

So today the country lost one of its most polarized and influential political lobbyist, the Reverand Jerry Falwell. He spent his life fighting for those beliefs that he held dear, and for that I have respect for him. My thoughts and prayers are with all of those that loved him.

However, a time like this usually calls for looking back at the life he lived. Jerry Falwell was one of the most powerful bigots this country has ever seen. He gathered around an army of workers that all spend much effort trying to enact bigotry as a national policy. Though I have respect for Mr Falwell, I certainly have no respect for the legacy of bigotry he left behind. I just wish that his bigotry could be burried with him. Unfortunatly, it lives on, at least for now.
