No, it is about relishing when certain people simply "go away" as in fired from a position or similar. In a few cases yes, things like executions figure into it but not every post involves relishing the death of someone.Is this thread about relishing in the deaths of certain people?

For example I agree with the post above yours. I see Anthony Gonzales as a joke and turn coat and I live close to his district here in Ohio. I am glad he has chosen not to run again and there is a good possibility if he did the seat could be filled by a Democrat. He has annoyed that many Republicans that much. On the bright side he did play a good football game for Ohio State in his days.

... I will now see myself out of this thread.
Stay classy!
Well, OK I guess you can take the thread however you wish. You find it distasteful that is fine. Sorry you saw my post as ugly sentiment.Hmm. Pretty ugly sentiment all around. Dancing on the graves of the dead or defeated is, in my opinion, distasteful. At least, it was not how I was raised. I will now see myself out of this thread.
Less yours than the previous posts on various deaths. Justice should be cold, not hot.Well, OK I guess you can take the thread however you wish. You find it distasteful that is fine. Sorry you saw my post as ugly sentiment.

I guess it's all about how we view certain deaths. When someone like Anthony Sowell who I mentioned earlier who raped and murdered 11 or more woman upon his death in prison there were no openly shed tears. Nobody cared that he was dead, some were happy. As corps after corpse was unearthed in his yard and decomposing corpuses removed from inside his house the compassion was for those 11 woman who died a horrible death. They were likely more of the whole and they were more a part of us. "The funeral bell that tolls for another person’s death, then, also tolls for us, in a sense, because it marks the death of a part of us, but also because it is a memento mori, a reminder that we ourselves will die one day".Less yours than the previous posts on various deaths.

When it comes to desecrating a grave or simply pissing on a grave it happens. My brother-in-law was a great guy, retired US Marine who went on to Law School at Virginia Law worked and became a partner in the Steptoe Johnson Firm, likely the largest law firm in West Virginia. At the bottom of Stanley Street in Clarksburg there is a large cemetery a final resting place of many Korean war dead. Also buried on that hillside is Louis Arthur Johnson was born on January 10, 1891, and graduated from the University of Virginia in 1912 with a degree in law. He practiced law in West Virginia for several years and was elected to the West Virginia House of Representatives in 1917. Johnson enlisted in the U.S. Army during World War I and served in France. After the war, he resumed his political career. He was appointed assistant secretary of war in 1937 and was a staunch supporter of military preparedness and increases in air power. Johnson resigned his post in 1940 when President Franklin D. Roosevelt failed to appoint him secretary of war. In 1942, Johnson served as Roosevelt's personal representative in India. He later became chairman of the Democratic Finance Committee during Truman's 1948 election campaign. Truman appointed Johnson secretary of defense in 1949, and Johnson worked to continue the unification of the armed forces as prescribed by the National Security Act of 1947. Johnson also aimed to maintain the military strength of the United States while cutting expenditures. This policy was highly controversial in the military and ultimately led Johnson to resign in 1950 during a particularly bleak period for U.S. forces in Korea. He returned to practicing law and died on April 24, 1966.
His gravestone is easily seen as the one with all the yellow stains, The Korean vets blamed him for all the US unpreparedness in early Korea and the surviving vets it a point to piss on his grave. Following WWII he slashed all military spending. His negligence and stupidity led to a lot of dead soldiers. Sometimes hate runs deep I guess. Things don't always play out Donne was writing at a time when the English language was, in many ways, at its most supple and inventive.

What we need to do is stay calm, anticipate that third parties will register and post seditious material to justify shutting this site down, and REPORT THEM IMMEDIATELY.
Again, I know it feels like the Republic is lost. It may be. But for now, on this site, please for the love of God stay calm, speak rationally, and hope for .... better judgement from our leaders in the future.
The coming days and weeks (likely after the 20th) will be easier, but for now we need to be on the best possible behavior. Please. :)
