Well said. We can mourn his passing, and feel for the family, and still oppose this man politically, and oppose the use of his political legacy to try to ram through Obamacare.
We conservatives are that nuanced, that we can differentiate between the passing of Ted Kennedy the man, and mourn his passing, while still opposing his politics, and the political situation with Obamacare.
I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop. I expect that Ted’s passing will be worked into the Obamacare debate. I wonder just how Democrats will do this. Will there be emotional appeals about this bill being Ted Kennedy’s legacy, or something along those lines?
I paid attention to him once. He was part of a roast of some conservative, a journalist maybe. He was absolutely hilarious. From then on I found it difficult to understand how someone with such a wit could really be as bad, let alone as evil, as they say, or perhaps, as circumstances might be able to suggest.
KENNEDY: above the People
Not anymore!
I know that is the politically correct thing to say, but I hold his family nearly as responsible for his behavior as I hold him. I cannot recall a single time where his "family" ever castigated or chastised him for any of his drunken, frat boy behavior. There was never a private price to be paid for abusing the little people, for the negligent homicide of a young girl, for the rape of a coed by "lads" under his wing, or for political hypocrisy on a thousand different issues. His "family" gained their wealth smuggling controlled substances that, at the time, were as illegal as cocaine is today and required the same violent and corrupt methods to accomplish. I am glad he is gone and will be glad when the rest of the clan fades away too.
I extend my sympathy to the pallbearers.
I propose we name the Obamanation Health Care Bill for Messr. Kennedy. My offerings:
