151. taking glee in someone's agony is no liberal value. .
I say we should believe in redemption for all, even if we are not religious. Someone Redeming their life can be a humanistic value too. If we want to believe all people can be good and change their ways; forgiveness is a liberal value we should attempt to practice.
We hate it when right wingers celebrate our losses; we certainly do not want to follow their lead. Just because we think someone's lifes work a sham , does not mean we should celebrate someone's death. It's not very liberal of us.
