    You consider "DING DONG THE WITCH IS DEAD displays the mark of a cultured & dignified society?

    CBT: You can say "Baptist pastor" all you want. It means nothing. It's kind of like you calling yourself a Baptist or Christian. Neither is a description of the theology and philosophies you extol on this board.

    No, it displays the hate and spite of a small minority.

    Yep, he thinks that gives his hatred of a conservative some credibility.

    Yes, the same Baptist pastor told me about the song and the celebration parties. I agree, it is way over the top.

    It is OK to disagree with a person's policies. It is, IMHO, all right to have parties and sing songs celebrating that death.

    Rev. I seriously doubt the coal miners are liberal. But she put them out of work.

    You conservatives complain bitterly about the EPA coming down on coal mining. Well she went far beyond anything the EPA has recommended.

    Face it, she was a conservative in a class of her own who in the long run alienated almost everyone. You remember when talking about Scotland she made a statement, saying, "There is no such thing as society."

    Um...she didn't actually say that. A misquote recycled umpteen times does not turn it into a fact.

    And she didn't alienate everyone: there were many who did very well out of her rule; she rescued the country from near-bankruptcy, broke the power of the union oligarchs who'd held the country to ransom in the 1970s, and won the Falklands War against the odds.

    Look it up. It was in a speech. It is in quotation marks. Guess she really did say it.

    It's not your computer, it's my coding: too many 'https'. Delete one and the link should work. Sorry!
