Oh hell, they destroyed America. The 1965 Immigration Act was Teddy's only achievement - his legacy is a balkanized "America" that is no longer a nation, but a squatter camp for Third Worlders. If the 9/11 hijackers had tried to enter the U.S. in 1960, they would have been under instant and routine suspicion: who are these guys and what are they doing here?
But not after Teddy got finished with us. Our enemies walk among us now, and we are forced to pretend they aren't our enemies - that they are "the real Americans".
Personal Jinx? Willful destruction.
Add in JFK's EO allowing Federal employees the right to unionize and “PRESTO” they did destroy America.
Like I said a few weeks ago, most of that klan should have been Einsatzgruppened of the face of the Earth.
Think how much better off the country (and the world) would have been without the Kennedy Crime Family ever wielding power.
I agree with all you said about the Kennedys.
The “jinx” I was talking about is kind of an almost subconscious sense that their prominence in our political
life as a 70 year “dynasty” has left even apolitical Americans with a certain degree of queasiness about them,with the unspoken idea being “when will be free of
these people??”
Of course we always knew what Teddy was made of, and his insane rants against Bork during the Supreme Court hearing set the tone for Democrat demagoguing for decades to come. He was far and away the worst of the bunch.
The fact is, the Kennedys are a dynasty whose time has passed.
Even Chris Matthews’s embarrassing love song in his new book JFK won’t help.
