One of the most powerful Liberals in public office has passed away today, John Murtha of Pennsylvania. Murtha died from issues following gallbladder surgery.
While my political beliefs has had me directly against most of the things Murtha has been supporting most of his time in office, I still respect and honor him as a great American and Marine who served his Country as he saw fit.
I wish his family well during this time of hardship and sadness.

A pro-life, pro-gun commie. Another Palin. At least he's dead.
I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts. – Will Rogers
An Avidity to punish is always dangerous to liberty. It leads men to stretch, to misinterpret, and to misapply even the best of laws. He that would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty he a establishes a precedent that will reach to himself. – Thomas Paine (1795)
Government is the great fiction, through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else. – Frederic Bastiat
Sometimes it is said that man cannot be trusted with the government of himself. Can he, then, be trusted with the government of others? – Thomas Jefferson (1801)
This country is a one-party country. Half of it is called Republican and half is called Democrat. It doesn't make any difference. All the really good ideas belong to the Libertarians. – Hugh Downs (1997)
Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters. – Daniel Webster (1782-1852)
Democracy is a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance. – H.L. Mencken

I definitely don't agree with nearly anything of Murtha's tenure in Congress, but I give him the utmost respect for his service in the Marines.
There are only three kinds of liberal/progressives.
1 - The elite, who believes he knows better how to run your life than you.
2 - The incompetent, who truly can't run their lives by themselves.
3 - The ignorant, who can't see what the elites are doing.
Hundreds of members of the media and university professors, pledged to fix the story and cover for the Messiah, but leftists will argue that it's OK, they should still be entitled to first amendment, freedom of the press, rights. Cuz it's their guy.

Wow, talk about obsessed.
Yep, I am sure you voted for Obama, you spend too much time laying groundwork for why you did not vote for the Republican canidate.
Saying "at least he's dead" is also pretty lame. While you may not agree with his politics (as do I) he has a right to his views just like you have a right to your views. You seem to spend a lot of time being angry at people for not thinking the way you want them to think hugo.....why is that?
Murtha served his Country during two conflicts, he was under fire from the enemy many times, can you say that? I did not like the man, but I respect his right as an American to think the way he wanted to think and to be respected as a human being.
You have a lot to learn about respect and decency, but who am I talking to, this is the same hugo who took a shot at my dead mother just a couple days after she had died.
