I believe you’re spot-on.
Ted Kennedy was at best a coward. At worst he was a murderer.
It speaks volumes of the character (or lack thereof) of those who elected this “man” year after year.

Why focus on Ted? Look at the people who elected him over and over again, despite knowing what kind of man he was. You’re completely right.

We get the government we deserve. We often laugh at the Israelites complaining in the desert and longing for the good old days of slavery in Egypt. But that’s us, today.

Except that it wasn’t Ted Kennedy, it was JFK, then Bobby, then it finally fell on Ted’s shoulders to fulfill JFK’s dream to destroy America.

It takes voters to destroy America.

John F. Kennedy had a dream to replace the American people with foreign voters, a different kind of voter, the importation of an endless supply of democrat voters.

“However, if there is one man who can take the most credit for the 1965 act, it is John F. Kennedy. Kennedy seems to have inherited the resentment his father Joseph felt as an outsider in Boston’s WASP aristocracy. He voted against the McCarran-Walter Act of 1952, and supported various refugee acts throughout the 1950s.

In 1958 he wrote a book, A Nation of Immigrants, which attacked the quota system as illogical and without purpose, and the book served as Kennedy’s blueprint for immigration reform after he became president in 1960. In the summer of 1963, Kennedy sent Congress a proposal calling for the elimination of the national origins quota system. He wanted immigrants admitted on the basis of family reunification and needed skills, without regard to national origin.

After his assassination in November, his brother Robert took up the cause of immigration reform, calling it JFK’s legacy. In the forward to a revised edition of A Nation of Immigrants, issued in 1964 to gain support for the new law, he wrote, “I know of no cause which President Kennedy championed more warmly than the improvement of our immigration policies.” Sold as a memorial to JFK, there was very little opposition to what became known as the Immigration Act of 1965.”
