Opening page on GOP Presidential candidate Duncan Hunter's website:
Only god knows the number of a man's days. Those days are fleeting. Jerry Falwell did not waste a moment of his alloted time. He spent his life laboring for God and country and for the next generation. Like our first President, George Washington, Jerry Falwell made it clear our country could not survive without religion and morality. They were both right. He leaves a long lasting legacy. He will be sorely missed.
When hiring workmen for Mount Vernon, George Washington wrote to his agent, "If they be good workmen, they may be from Asia, Africa, or Europe; they may be Mohammedans, Jews, or Christians of any sect, or they may be Atheists."
After the September 11, 2001 attacks, Jerry Falwell said on the 700 Club, "I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People For the American Way, all of them who have tried to secularize America. I point the finger in their face and say 'you helped this happen.'"
Yeah, they both left a legacy, but only one is missed.
Forgive me Trakker for quoting your post in its entirety. Everyone should check out the rest of his blog.

Actually I wrote embarrassingly little of that post...mostly copied others.
Thanks for the plug. If my traffic doesn't improve I'm going to have to write a post about Paris Hilton...eek!
