If I heard it once, I have heard it a thousand times, we should not speak badly of the dead. Recently, I have been thinking this over. Maybe that isn’t so much a cut and dry rule. I mean must we never speak badly of Hitler?

The left loves to compare anyone they disagree with as a Hitler. The dems love to speak badly of Washington and Jefferson. If so, why can’t I speak badly of Jackson, a true racist who indirectly but intentionally killed unknown hundreds of American Indians by ordering them from their homes and onto the Trail of Tears.

I guess Stalin is off limits, though he killed millions, just to solidify his power base. What about Manson, who killed Sharon Tate. You know very well that I can build a list of monsters, living and dead who have caused the death of millions. Then, I guess, once a person steps out into infinity, they are hands off, unless they were patriotic Republicans.

While we must be cautious about posthumous criticism, we cannot allow historical atrocities to be forgotten or absolved simply because their perpetrators have died. Accountability and remembrance serve as crucial tools for understanding human nature and preventing future injustices.

Biblical narratives often candidly expose the moral failings of even its most revered figures, revealing the humanity and imperfections of its central characters through unflinching accounts of their transgressions.
