WASHINGTON, May 15 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Today, the National Stonewall Democrats released the following statement on the death of Reverend Jerry Falwell:

As we understand that each American should be treated equally under the law, we recognize that each neighbor should receive our respect.

Our thoughts and our prayers are with his widow Macel, the Falwell family and the membership of ThomasRoadBaptistChurch."

"But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you." --Matthew 5:44

"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 (the 9/11 attacks) happen." --Jerry 9:13:01

That's the way to do it. Classy.

a class act on the Stonewall Democrat's part. Good example for others to emulate.

I love it how Democrats show such beauty, class and respect when dealing with their opposition.

As ayeshahaqqiqa said, this statement by the Stonewall Democrats is a good example for others to emulate.
