Jerry Falwell died today. WorldNetDaily reported Anti-Falwell venom flows on blogs. Everyone dies, both conservative and liberal. The difference is that conservatives tend to see death as a sombre experience that deserves some reverence, even if you didn't like the guy. Liberals often seem to see death as just another political event. They gloat. They cheer. They don't express sorrow. After all, it's just a person, not a baby seal or a spotted owl.
I think the difference is one of world view. Conservatives, often Christians, see death as the end of the person's chance to yield to God. Yielded or not, the chance is gone. Because of that, they will morn for a passed friend, but celebrate his move into eternity if he was a fellow believer. An enemy, perhaps passing to an eternity of suffering, is morned as well. It is a heavy weight to imagine the judgement for the person. And even if the persons passing may be welcomed at political level, conservatives will rarely ever voice such a sentiment; they express sorrow.
Liberals (the Godless) don't care about the eternal soul of the deceased -- they don't think their is one! The only thing that matters is how does the person's death affect THEM. If it was a friend, they will be sad; if it was an enemy -- like Falwell -- they will jump for joy. In either case, it is entirely self-serving. What good would it do to worry about the dead, they view death as the end.
