How did you come to that conclusion?
And just as I hit the "post" button, abortions in this country springs to mind...was he instrumental in getting pro-Roe judges on the court before Jan 22, 1973?
Yup, that about sums it up.
But this: "Then, with a slip of a wheel greased by booze, all presidential hopes and expectations were washed away in the waters of Chappaquiddick" takes my breath away!
The column really jarred me in another way. Coming so soon after Gore's latest MoveOn speech, I couldn't help but compare the two men, how similiar they have become. Bellicose, outta control, rage filled, and not at our enemies, not at terrorists. Charles Krauthammer joked that Gore must have forgotten to take his lithium, but watching these two over the hill politicians isn't funny. They are spewing hate.
Give me a break. If the NY media was so all powerful, we never would have had Nixon as President, or Reagan, or Bush I and now Bush II. The media can sway and influence public opinion, but only so far.
For Kerry to win in November, the American people must be convinced that appeasement is the best way to respond to the threat against the United States.
While the elite in New York, and Los Angeles may think that, and because of their megaphone the "main stream media" may make it appear that American's think it, it is not true.
The vast majority of the American people understand, if not on a conscious level, subconsciously, that this is a war of survival. Appeasement will only get more American killed.
I would be astonished if the Senate Ethics Committee actually sanctioned Kennedy. Senate Republicans talk a lot but rarely act to reign in corruption.
I pray your correct, but I believe their power has grown for the last decade.
They are more dangerous now, and even more so because the public actually pays more attention to news since 9/11.
I know that even Rush disagrees with me, but he is being either delibrately up beat, or he is just too close to see the truth. Even the serious and intellectual "right-wing" press is more concerned with their reputations at their elite NY and DC parties.
Old Joe Kennedy lobotomized the wrong kid. He should have lobotomized Ted instead of Rosemary.
"Old Joe Kennedy lobotomized the wrong kid. He should have lobotomized Ted instead of Rosemary."
Not sure there was enough there to "lobotomize".
"I would like to see Bill Cosby run for either Senate seat in Massachusetts, he has a residence in Shelburne."
Just what we need, another liberal. And one who blamed the entire white race for the death of his son. Or maybe it was his wife who blamed the white race. One of them did.
"Not sure there was enough there to 'lobotomize'."
Yeah, but he would have been locked away for life at some mental health facility in Wisconsin, and America would not have had to suffer his presence.
Readership in newspapers, and magazines are going down. Viewership of the network news is going down. Outlets like talk radio, and the internet, has now made it impossible for the left to tell a lie, and not get caught.
I am ashamed to admit that I actually believed what I read in newspapers and magazines until the mid 1970s when what I was reading did not fit with what I knew to be true. At the time, I thought I was alone, in these beliefs, but now I know I wasn't.
Take heart, we are at the turning point, the storm is overhead, and if we can hang on for a little while longer, it will pass, taking the Democratic party with it.
One of the things that has given me hope is knowing that after 50 years of Communism, religion is still alive and well in Eastern Europe. The socialist can suppress people and opinions, but they can not change what is in our hearts.
We are living that Chinese curse, "May you live in interesting times."
Hence the reason for Dean being run out of town, so to speak. Can't have the moderate making Teddy or Hill or Kerry seem, uh, rabid or extreme.
The 'Rats are in sad shape.
Yep. And desparate. But still convincing the sheeple to follow them - out of fear and rhetoric if nothing else. Convince them that everyone else (Republicans and the rest) is evil and out to make their lives miserable.
I doubt that his vote much mattered to those appointments. But he switched his position on abortion as soon as the Supreme Court provided the convenient excuse that abortion was "legal."
"Yeah, but he would have been locked away for life at some mental health facility in Wisconsin, and America would not have had to suffer his presence."
Good point.
Actually his most recent comments are highly encouraging. He seems like a "born-again conservative".
This is such a GREAT read!!! I'm bumping so the week-enders don't miss it.
