I won’t pretend to feel any sorrow whatsoever at the long-overdue passing of this evil, evil man.

Too long. Much longer than Mary Jo. Now we’ll be ‘Educated’ all over again about the fiction of ‘Camelot’ and how upstanding and selfless ALL Kennedy’s have been.

Rubbish.

Kennedy smears Judge Alito...Mrs. Alito in tears:

“In suggesting that Samuel Alito had belonged to a racist conservative group, Massachusetts Democratic Senator Ted Kennedy relied heavily on an essay published by the organization that sounded like a bigoted rant. The essay, titled ‘In Defense of Elitism.....But the magazine’s editor at the time says the article was pure satire, a send-up of what liberals think conservatives think. He added quote, ‘I think left-wing groups have been feeding Senator Kennedy snippets and he has been mindlessly reciting them,”

I thought he died some time ago.

Excuse me if I don’t mourn his passing.

Good point. There is no shortage of people including sweet, innocent children who died today of cancer. Ted Kennedy is not greater than any of them.

Teddy will receive a burial at sea in an upside down Oldsmobile 88.

You just need to remember friend...

Romans 10:9

That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

Nothing wrong with judging the SIN, need to be careful how we judge sinners...

He systematically swindled every taxpayer in the United States through several glorious decades as a public figure, and he borroughed himself so deeply within the power structure that nary a man or woman alive dare bring him before a court. He altered the future of the North American continent to a degree that will never be measurable as there won’t be budgets to maintain records of the decline, and never will there be a historian of note remembered through the ages that will catalogue the ills this titan has brought down upon the flock who followed his lineage’s call to sacrifice. Never has one American asked for so much, with so little compunction, and without a conscious objection to the future systematic failures built into the myriad Ponzi schemes he championed.

He was an inspiration to millions who saw in him the path to a brighter future, a beacon to reach the promised land and arrive at the American dream. He was the best Ponzi salesman in history.
