THE TRUE LEGACY OF TED KENNEDY
Posted on 08/27/2009 5:13:27 AM PDT by markomalley
The Queen won't make a statement about the death of Senator Edward Kennedy, I'm told, although she knighted him in March 'for services to the U.S.- UK relationship and North Ireland' - admittedly at the behest of Gordon Brown.
Meanwhile the Prime Minister says fulsomely that the Senator will be mourned 'on every continent'. Perhaps a touch of royal distance over Kennedy is justified. He supported Irish Republicans who murdered Prince Philip's uncle, Lord Mountbatten.
The Prince of Wales - who became very close to Mountbatten - once refused to meet or sit down to lunch with the Senator when both were guests of the 11th Duke of Devonshire at Chatsworth.
They had to be seated separately at the large luncheon party. It's said Kennedy enjoyed his food and drink but, after leaving around three, rang the Chatsworth butler to ask if there was anywhere locally he could buy a burger and fries.

Good on you, Queen.
Ah...The Queen shows her claws...and I won’t be making a statement about the fat, pinko ba$tard, either.
It would make more sense to me if the Queen would ensure that Michael Savage is taken off the list of unwelcome visitors to England, and issues an official apology for such disgraceful, politically-motivated, unjustified action by the formerly great country.
If ever Great Britain had an intelligent, informed, knowledgeable of the history of England, and defender of the country, it is Mike Savage!
An official apology would be a small, but significant step in the right direction to restore some dignity to England.
I have no idea what, if anything, Ted has done for the country, other than ignorant and superficial gestures.
Not that it is news, but Kennnedy’s father had to be recalled as the ambassador to Britain in the runup to WWII by FDR as a result of his views favorable to the Nazi regime. At least Joe Jr. and Jack served their country; Joe giving his life.
And we see the explanation for O’s ugly behaviour towards the Brits.
Following Teddy’s lead.
What will the usurper do now without his puppeteer.
The royal family is currently negotiating Libiyan leasing and drilling rights with the Kadaffi boys. They reserve comments on Sir Theodoric Kennedy, the Irish American DON who resolved the IRA problem. Bug off America.
BTW the Queen never comments on such issues (in public at least).
warm regards
Good luck getting a decent burger and fries in the UK.
Wasn’t Lord Mountbatan her husband?
the Prime Minister says fulsomely that the Senator will be mourned 'on every continent'.Yeah. Because the drunken sot kept he world wide liquor industry going through every recession.
[the rumors that Teddy's casket is shaped like a bottle of Chivas Regal have not been confirmed.]
Wasn’t Lord Mountbatan her husband?No, The Queen's husband is still alive. Prince Phillip
As to Lord 'Louie': I don't go in for 'the royals' but from what I've read, he was the most 'normal'.
The 1965 Immigration Act: Anatomy of a Disaster
"Chief among national concerns was total numeric immigration. Senate floor manager and Camelot knight-errant Ted Kennedy, D-Massachusetts, assured jittery senators that "our cities will not be flooded with a million immigrants annually." Senator Daniel Inouye, D-Hawaii, further calmed that august body, insisting "the total number of potential immigrants would not be changed very much." Time has proven otherwise. Average immigration levels before the 1965 amendments took effect hovered around 300,000 per annum. Yet 1,045,000 legal immigrants flooded our cities in 1996 alone."
Teddy Kennedy once called for the US military to be pulled out of Vietnam and sent to invade northern Ireland, to drive out the British. Though any record of it is long since buried in the congressional record.
The Kennedy family truly hated the English. Old Joe Kennedy demanded from Roosevelt that he be made US ambassador to Great Britain, then was quietly recalled because of his efforts to undermine them against the Nazis.
Thank you! That is good news! I agree with your rancid politics comment.
Has Michael Savage (Weiner) received any confirmation in writing?
Great Britain is not part of any continent.
“resolved the IRA problem”
BULL!!!!!!!! The only thing that fat leftard ever resolved was to eat more pie.
why was Teddy knighted and bestowed the noble title of Sir Ted Kennedy? A rare thing for an Irish lout.
The royal family is currently negotiating Libiyan leasing and drilling rights with the Kadaffi boys
I didn’t know her Britannic Majesty was in the oil business, if she drills deep enough she may find the whole rotten Kennedy clan rotting in hell.
BP & Libya... her Majesties dominion.
All class, that Teddy.
All Royal Navy ships are named Her Majesties Ships that doesn’t mean her or her family are at the helm.
Britain isn’t what it was.
If they’re not at the helm, their the the head.
Merry ol England, Scotland & Wales must retain some remnancy of honor and integrity. I am presently saving and hoping to return to my mother countries in search of my “roots”. Might do some paki bashing with the heads there.
Good for the Queen. There’s no love lost between Odumbo and the Brits, that’s for sure. That is precisely a president is supposed to be natural born so he has no divided loyalties, which Odumbo clearly does.
Uncle
God Save The Queen! As to Prince Charles, it is the only time he’s shown any backbone..
I’m afraid your roots may be unrecognizable, replaced by an EU-standardized root and a pathetic yob culture
In dishonor of his demise, Senator Orca should be heretofore referred to as “Fat Bastard”!
While much has been said about certain of her children, not redounding to their credit, Her Brittanic Majesty, herself, has always been a class act...
the infowarrior
The Queen has no power to do this and the knighthood was at the request of the awful PM, Gordon Brown, a class war obsessed maniac.
Louis Mountbatten was about as abnormal as they come. Self-aggrandizing, communist-sympathizing, sexually-addicted conman. Talked a good game, though.
Ted Kennedy should have been put in front of a firing squad for treason against this nation....I am certainly glad Queen Elizabeth knows what an awful person Kennedy was.
