Teddy is supposedly a Catholic, there will be no opportunity to do this there. They will have to have a memorial service without a Catholic priest.

Boy did she. I just love articles like these that keep the Dem idiocy in the papers.

Mary, honey, you "lost your dignity" and "abandoned your traditions" long ago. It was when you climbed in bed with Uncle Sam, who volunteered to be your mamma, your daddy and your husband and provider.

You gave up everything for "affirmative action," forced busing, welfare, food stamps, Medicaid, Section 8 Housing all complements of the "Great Society", "War on Poverty," NAACP, SCLC, Rainbow Coalition, "diversity programs," "African Centered Education," "Nation of Islam," but most importantly, the DemocRAT Party.

The fact that you've just now lifted the veil from your eyes and seen the pitiful way the liberals and "Race Hustlers" force decency from even the funeral of a loved one, is truly sad.

The truth can be very painful but it can also set you free.

The most ironic thing about Carters stupid remarks was when he brought up the wiretaps on MLK - something authorized by the Attorney General at the time - Robert F. Kennedy.

I guess he's too stupid to catch the irony, or thinks most Americans are too stupid to know the difference.
