- My Take on Falwell « DelawareLiberal.Net | May 16, 2007
(Re: the post headline)
Dude. When they were handing out class you obviously missed the boat. Why don’t you just grab your poms poms and dance on the grave. How twisted can you be?
Chris, you are on the wrong blog if you think anybody around here is mourning. Twisting the teachings of Christ to serve a self-aggrandizing agenda and a divisive campaign of intolerance doesn’t earn a lot of respect from us.
Jason, ya called it like it is.
Ah yes…the famous liberal compassion. Despite all its great hype it is really only reserved for just that…liberals….well …and terrorists.

I used a question mark. And I think the Rev would want us to use his passing in order to reflect on the meaning of the ministry of Jesus.
When Cheney and Bush pass – there will be no question mark.
I would like to think Jesus right now has Falwell by the windpipe holding him against a wall saying “I didn’t SAY anything about abortion or homosexuals, you SOB!!”
Poor Jerry. The women, gays, liberals and intelligent people of the world will miss his jester-like opinions of idiocy. He was great comic relief.
Anyone ever wonder how you get on TV, tell everyone they’re going to hell, and then get them to send you checks?
It must have been a great gig.
And Chris; pompoms and dancing ain’t my gig. Now a keg next to his headstone (fill in the blank, dude).

You may be able to debate on the homosexual issue, but Jesus was clearly against abortion. Murder is murder.
No worries, folks. Divine justice will prevail. Mr. Falwell will be reincarnated as a black muslim lesbian transsexual drag queen….in Lynchburg, VA.
The absence of his voice and the hate and hypocrisy it spouted will certainly benefit the progress of humanity.
Today marks the first day that anyone at work has ever seen me dance.
CYA later, bi-atch!
In addition to the fact that Falwell was a pretty loathsome guy – the moral majority turned out to be a dismal failure. Gambling is everywhere – pornography is ludicrously easy to get and homosexuality has not been stamped out.
Aside from helping elect Bush and getting two SCJ’s out of it, the Moral majority has been fairly useless.
“Today marks the first day that anyone at work has ever seen me dance.”
“CYA later, bi-atch!”
Ain’t liberalism so touching…. And if it had been Ted Kennedy that keeled over, and I claimed to be “dancing” (which I have more class than) you would have ripped me a new one. You all are sick.
Actually, I think Ted will be Falwell’s roommate in hell. Fitting for both.
Chris, what is this arbitrary labeling of liberal all things fair?
Funny that you guys don’t use the liberalgeek method of rationalization. After all, Geek stated that Louis Farrakhan “has done some good,” and even though he didn’t agree w/all Louie has said and done, again, one “has to admit” he did some good.
Funny how that doesn’t apply to Falwell, eh?
Like I said, my idea for the radio is best: “Delaware Liberal: It’s easier than thinking!”
Well, Hube, Republicans always do seem to have problems thinking, i.e., “Let’s attack a country with no weapons of mass destruction and piss off the entire free (and unfree) world.” Maybe all Republicans should be forced to blog on Delaware Liberal an hour a day. Like Farrakhan, it might do a little good.
Not on topic, disbelief, but the assertion is that I disagree with the “Let’s not invade Iraq” camp. I do not. But the “no WMDs” canard is old and tired and 20/20 hindsight and you know it. There are much better things to point out with regards to not attacking Iraq. Ron Paul, despite his “blame the USA” for 9/11 dogma, said it perfectly: GW Bush came out and stated in the 2000 campaign that the US should not be in the business of nation-building.
Okay Hube & Chris – you guys baited me into it. I will now say something complimentary about Jerry Falwell.
When it came to creating single issue voters who would dependably and happily vote against their economic interests – he was the very best.
Some Jerry Falwell quotes. We will all miss the man, the myth, the legend.
On 9/11 (along with Robertson)
FALWELL: What we saw on Tuesday, as terrible as it is, could be miniscule if, in fact, God continues to lift the curtain and allow the enemies of America to give us probably what we deserve.
ROBERTSON: Well, Jerry, that’s my feeling. I think we’ve just seen the antechamber to terror, we haven’t begun to see what they can do to the major population.
FALWELL: The ACLU has got to take a lot of blame for this. And I know I’ll hear from them for this, but throwing God…successfully with the help of the federal court system…throwing God out of the public square, out of the schools, the abortionists have got to bear some burden for this because God will not be mocked and when we destroy 40 million little innocent babies, we make God mad…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 try to secularize America…I point the thing in their face and say you helped this happen.
ROBERTSON: I totally concur, and the problem is we’ve adopted that agenda at the highest levels of our government, and so we’re responsible as a free society for what the top people do, and the top people, of course, is the court system.
FALWELL: Pat, did you notice yesterday that the ACLU and all the Christ-haters, the People for the American Way, NOW, etc., were totally disregarded by the Democrats and the Republicans in both houses of Congress, as they went out on the steps and and called out to God in prayer and sang ‘God bless America’ and said, let the ACLU be hanged. In other words, when the nation is on its knees, the only normal and natural and spiritual thing to do is what we ought to be doing all the time, calling on God.
On being human:
If you’re not a born-again Christian, you’re a failure as a human being.
On AIDS:
AIDS is not just God’s punishment for homosexuals; it is God’s punishment for the society that tolerates homosexuals.
On Prostitution (a Bushism of sorts):
Grown men should not be having sex with prostitutes unless they are married to them.
On the ACLU:
The ACLU is to Christians what the American Nazi party is to Jews.
On Teen Pregnany:
The argument that making contraceptives available to young people would prevent teen pregnancies is ridiculous. That’s like offering a cookbook as a cure to people who are trying to lose weight.
“Ain’t liberalism so touching…. And if it had been Ted Kennedy that keeled over, and I claimed to be “dancing” (which I have more class than) you would have ripped me a new one. You all are sick.”
No, I’d feel only a little less satisfied if Teddy died. Teddy is a murderer, and Falwell was a disgusting bigot. The truth is that the world is a better place with him gone, and I can’t help but be happy about that.
