Reply #105: I support CatWoman's bravery and compassion [View All]

and yes, I send my thoughts and prayers to Nancy Reagan as well.

One year ago, my mother died of dementia. She had been ill for 10 years, as Ronald had been.

Let me tell you, Nancy is one hell of a strong woman to have cared for him all that time. NO ONE who has not been there themselves has ANY RIGHT to speak ill of the caregivers of dementia patients.

IF SHE WAS a shallow, uncaring, stuck up bitch in the past this experience had to have changed her. She stuck it out to the end. That takes courage and depth of heart. She is NOT the same person she was twenty or even ten years ago. It is JUST NOT POSSIBLE.

I think a crucial aspect of Liberalism is the belief that people can change, can become better. If that is true, they also need to be forgiven for their past crimes.

If change and forgiveness are off the table, then we are all lost.
