The Issue: The death of Sen. Lindsey Graham, a prominent voice for freedom and US strength.

Sen. Lindsey Graham was hated by the left because he loved America unreservedly, saw the threats to it clearly and was courageous and smart enough to know how those threats needed to be combatted (“Sen.’s sudden death shock,” July 13).

The senator’s visits to Ukraine in the teeth of the obscene war started by the madman Vladimir Putin, and his unstinting support of Israel in the face of its genocidal enemies, showed him to be a lover of justice and democracy.

His heart knew no boundaries, always keeping America and South Carolina first and foremost in his sights. His death is a loss that will be felt for as long as people cherish America and freedom.

Graham has died and one of President Trump’s biggest boosters is no more. It seems so ironic to wish him eternal peace when his greatest claim to fame is as the “War Whisperer.”

Lindsey Graham was a noble warrior who put America’s welfare ahead of his own personal station in life.

A morally upright man, his clarity of vision allowed him to easily recognize right from wrong and good over evil. That is why he championed Israel over the antisemites and Ukraine over Russia.

Rest in peace, sir. You earned your rightful place in heaven.

As the poet John Donne said nearly 400 years ago, “never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.” He is saying we are all connected, and the death of one diminishes the lives of all.

Sadly, politics have separated us from that fundamental truth. The near-joy expressed by many at Lindsey Graham’s death is truly disturbing. It’s not just disrespectful.

There’s a reason why it’s wrong to speak ill of the dead. It’s cowardly. The deceased can’t even defend themselves.

I am deeply shocked and saddened to learn of Lindsey Graham’s passing, one of the last neoconservatives in the post-Bush era, who has stood for nearly every principle I believe in.

For decades I marveled at how, when other neocons stood firm in their principles and accepted exile from power, Graham bent with the wind to accommodate and explain changing democratic fortunes, keeping one last haymaker in reserve. I will miss him.

Graham will be remembered as a DC legend chock-full of personality. He was a one-of-a-kind orator with a fiery brand and fought every day for Americans with his unrelenting fervor.

His small-town upbringing made him relatable to ordinary Americans with his quirky antics. He never held back on speaking his mind.

He will remain one of the rare few who notably left their mark on Washington. America and only America was his agenda.

Graham, like Trump, was always looking for another war to start and another country to bomb to smithereens. Now that Graham has died, Trump says we should fly our flags at half-mast.

We are living in a twisted moment in American history. Hopefully, this will begin to change come the midterms.

A bright light has gone out, but his work remains. Sen. Lindsey Graham was more than a politician and lawyer — he was a champion for the vulnerable and a defender of our shared ideals. He believed that the strength of our country is found in its fairness and kindness toward everyone.

He left us too soon, but he proved that one person standing up for what is right can change the world for the better. Rest in peace, senator.

Have these people cheering for Graham’s death no shame? It only shows their true colors.

People like them are never happy and live a hateful existence. You actually have to feel sorry for them.
