Sen. John McCain responded to the news of Sen. Edward Kennedy’s brain tumor saying that Ted Kennedy was the “last lion of the Senate.” Nice words, but hollow. Clearly Kennedy has been a forty year force to reckon with in the US Senate, but lionizing him for his headstrong political partisanship over four decades is a little like saying that sticking around for a long time and being opinionated qualifies as a “legacy.” That very record of anti-life advocacy is the measure by which his soul will be judged. While I pray for Sen. Kennedy’s recovery from a brain tumor, I pray more for his recovery from the cancerous metastasis of abortion ideology in his soul. Ironically, in the same years in which abortion has become less and less acceptable to the American public, it has become more and more of an obsession for Sen. Kennedy. Prior to Roe v. Wade, Sen. Kennedy had actually held a pro-life view of the sanctity of life. In a letter to a constituent he said,
“While the deep concern of a woman bearing an unwanted child merits consideration and sympathy, it is my personal feeling that the legalization of abortion on demand is not in accordance with the value which our civilization places on human life. Wanted or unwanted, I believe that human life, even at its earliest stages, has certain rights which must be recognized – the right to be born, the right to love, the right to grow old.” (See http://www.worldnetdaily.com/

However, post-Roe, Kennedy’s record of recognizing the “value which our civilization places on life” has been, shall we say, less than stellar. In fact, he has a 0% record of voting in favor of life, and there is not one life-related issue in which his vote reflects a concern for the weakest members of our society, let alone the concern that his supposed Catholic faith places on them. Senator Kennedy
In other words, Kennedy has spent the better part of his long political career promoting the forces that kill and maim and destroy all the things that we hold sacred. What a shocking example of public service for a man who purports to call himself Catholic. A month to the day after illicitly receiving Communion at the Mass of the Vicar of Christ in our nation’s capital, Sen. Kennedy seems to have been given a real wake up call. When all moral voices go unheeded, the prospect of death tends to focus the mind on the truth. Let us all pray for his conversion from a career of abortion advocacy, for his enlightenment and for a peaceful death, something denied to all aborted babies in this country.
Sincerely Yours in Christ,

The swimmer has been in Congress for 46 years.
Mary Joe was only in the water for a few minutes before Ted abandoned her in a drunken stupor.
Death vs the death of decency
Lion? How about reptile...
When you realize who the Democrats are willing to have be a part of their inner circle, you begin to know how bankrupt they are. Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, Byrd...
The real wrecking crew.
Ted is apparently getting more of a warning than Harvey Karman.
2 Peter 3:9 - “The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.”
It’s good to see that SOMEBODY is allowed to print the truth about this vile man. But I expect a whole posse of Catholic cardinals will show up to eulogize his spirit and funeralize his carcass.
The Kennedy Family finances would have been decimated without the availability of quick, safe and cheap abortions...
Otherwise, there would be dozens Kennedy “girl friends” seeking child support for their little Kennedy bastards.
They learned early on, that drowning attracted too much attention.....
I don’t think they’ve been censoring negative comments, just “dance on the grave” comments.
If he was a lion, I am the Queen of Sheba.
Our thoughts on Ted are probably pretty close to the same, but I did not like seeing folks do a jig based on the fact that he now has cancer.
I think the man is despicable, but I don’t plan on celebrating that he will probably die in the next year or so.
His time is fast approaching, and so is ours.
There will be time to take this person to task in the future, and I plan on joining in.
I firmly believe that we are in a culture war for the survival of America. If we had just killed Osama Bin Laden we would not be such wussies about dancing on his grave. Did we celebrate the career of Hitler when he died, you know all the hard work he did on renewable energy etc.? When an enemy of society is removed, it is a time for joy! If you must be serious be serious about the abominibable legacy of Ted: 35,000,000 abortion murders ,the Homo jihad, the corruption of the judiciary or the assault of liberty on every front. This is war I will not give comfort to the enemies of all I hold dear!
This is a time in the land of oz when the little people sang "ding dong the witch is dead, the wicked witch is dead.
Amen, Father, Amen. Finally something has been written about Teddy in these last several days that I can agree with.
I've never danced on anyone's grave and I never wished brain cancer on anyone and I've never celebrated anyone's illness. I'm a cancer patient myself. But I had about 5 posts deleeted yesterday. Maybe even more than that.
You forgot: and make vote him into Sainthood.
LOL, Ted isn’t dead yet but he is “melting”.
Well said.
May God have mercy on his soul.
Ted Kennedy, the liberal sealion of the Senate. *Ort! Ort! Ort!”
Like Hitler being a real “lion” for genocide. Let’s not badmouth lions anyway, they symbolize courage, not like the coward of Chappaquidick.
