Does this not describe nearly every Liberal you know?
"Oddly enough, you mention "lobotomies"."
No. I said lobectomy, where a lobe is removed as in gran mal seizure control. I didn't know about Rosemary.
"The whole Kennedy family tale is nothing but a story of abject tragedy. The "Luck of the Irish" for the Kennedy's was all used up by "Old Joe" Kennedy. From Joe Jr. to JFK Jr., the old bootlegger left no "Irish Luck" for the rest of his family."
I would completely agree with this. Still, I want to read Dr. Crenshaw's book and find out more about the slander suit he WON against the JAMA.
We know for certain Oswald killed Tippet. Witnesses described him and the casings from his revolver matched. He was seen running away and in the direction of the movie theatre where he was later arrested with a 38 caliber revolver which had recently been fired. He also had lots of residue on his hands. As for Walker. Marina testified she told him he had taken shots at Walker after coming home all worked up and frightened. You can ignore solid evidence against Oswald and believe any nonsense the conspiracy book peddlers offer, but it doesn't change the incredible amount of evidence and the perfect timelines of the crimes that point directly at Oswald.

I had to ask:
http://www.google.com/search?client=googlet&q=Who%20killed%20JFK%3F
The Ratical link in the below link, a year or so, had an
Oswald Diary posted.

Don't forget to check Google Groups, as there is a good JFK group with years of collecting reports on JFK.
Yeah..well I saw Darth Vader kick Obie Wan Kenobe's a$$ on the BIG screen... so I guess Arlyn Specter's "Magic Bullet" (that whole one found on the stretcher with Pres. Kennedy) must be true.
I would still like to know how it is that during the height of the cold war...when travel was completely restricted to the USSR...a so called loser like Oswald renounces his US citizenship goes to Moscow marries a Ministry of Internal officers niece (the uncle she lived with) and then gets to say..."I changed my mind" comes back home and gets to bring her with him....just like that.
And good ole Jack Ruby...connected to the Dallas PD and the Chicago underworld...(the same gang that rigged votes for Daley and Kennedy in Chicago)...Jack Ruby was so moved by his passion for Kennedy that he walks through the Dallas PD right up to Oswald and guns him down...
The whole event is a minefield of contradictions and possibilities..just like it was supposed to be...obfuscated and inveigled professionally.
I do believe Cubans were involved...

Yeah, Joe. Me too. Then I comes to suss out that me favorite author on the subject, Edward J. Epstein, is what they call a CIA Contract Author, which of course, doesn't make him a liar.
But I gotta tellya, my favorite theory is the Two Oswalds gambit. The Oswald that came out of the USSR does not physically match the USMC records of the Oswald that went in. The Oswald that went in the grave after the Jack Ruby shooting does not match (A) The Guy who got exhumed years later or (B) the LHO we know from the USMC specs.
Now we know the KGB ran "Americanization" camps where they trained sleeper agents. So they take a graduate of one of these camps who resembles Oswald and .......
Gotta go, I got a Bigfoot Observer's Meeting.
BTW, some intelligent posts on that site, too.
I promise to do a search before posting in future.
Sorry. Sometimes I am posting from a laptop outdoors with distracting activity going on around me and I will misread similar appearing words. Please excuse the mistake.
Still, I want to read Dr. Crenshaw's book and find out more about the slander suit he WON against the JAMA.
Interesting. I did not know there was an issue.
I think he's the doctor my doctor knew. The book is called "Trauma One: [something]"
Yeah, I think it's interesting, too. When you google it there is lots but the book is fairly recent so the lots are lots of teasing.
No problem about the lobotomy/lobectomy thing. I didn't know about Rosemary anyway. The Kennedys really have had their share of misery.
I think poor Rosemary is like Typhoid Mary. An epidemic leads back to her, by that I mean the homeless and the drug abuse that began in the 60's. Rosemary's illness caused the Kennedy family to have experience with eminent psychiatrists and influential psychiatrists gained access to the power of the Kennedy family. JFK signed the law that released the mild to moderately mentally ill from mental hospitals. It was the Community Mental Health Centers Act of 1963. It was supposed to provide for community clinic, out-patient care of those not so ill they had to be committed. It was not funded.
It was the good intentions that paved the road to hell that has, and still plagues us with the homeless and drug abuse. With the Baby Boom generation entering their 20's in the mid Sixties, it was the wrong thing to do. Mental illness tends to manifest itself most overtly in ones 20's. We should have built more mental hospitals, not closed them. The Democrats pinned the blame on Reagan, but the homeless people out on the street that are talking into space are JFK/LBJ's legacy. The tragedy of the Sixties is larger, much larger, than just JFK's assassination and the Vietnam War.
"The tragedy of the Sixties is larger, much larger, than just JFK's assassination and the Vietnam War."
Very thoughtful post. Sounds like you've had some training in both psych and in municipal design. I had an environmental study course with Henry Cisneros, the cad. We were actually encouraged to 'celebrate' our Bongo Joe and our 'bag lady.' But I work downtown and the smell is more than just bat guano.
We have a Liberal councilwoman who got it approved to build $1/4M crappers downtown when we refused to pass her 'free P' zones and 'free panhandle' zones.
I know what you mean about the legacy of the 60's. Unfortunately, she must've been one of the ones on the early release program! :o(
