"Citizens need to be armed
to protect themselves against
a tyrannical government."

-- Senator Ted Kennedy

---

Poor Mary Jo wasn't armed.

Mary Jo Kopechne

Those young voters don't know how Miss Kopechne, trapped inside Kennedy's Oldsmobile, gasped for air until she finally died, while the Democrats' leading Iraq war critic rushed back to his compound to formulate the best alibi he could think of.

Neither does Generation X know how Kennedy was thrown out of Harvard on his ear 15 years earlier -- for paying a fellow student to take his Spanish final. Or why the US Army denied him a commission because he cheated on tests.

As they listen to the Democrats' "Liberal Lion" accuse President Bush of "telling lie after lie after lie" to get America to go to war in Iraq, young voters don't know about that notorious 1991 Easter weekend in Palm Beach, when Uncle Teddy rounded up his nephews for a night on the town, an evening that ended with one of them credibly accused of rape.

It's time for Republicans to state unabashedly that they will no longer "go along with the gag" when it comes to Uncle Ted's rants about deception and moral turpitude inside the Bush White House. And if the Republicans don't, let's do it ourselves by passing this forgotten disgrace around the Internet to wake up memories of what a fraud and fake Teddy really is.

Senator Teddy, wearing his controversial neck brace, leaves St. Vincent's
Church with his wife, Joan, after the funeral Mass for Mary Jo Kopechne.

"'bout time some folks came into your neck of the woods and took the fight to you like you marxist/liberal/gungrabbin, constitution perverting folks have been trying to do to us all these years."

Exactly.

The only way we can regain and preserve our liberties is to go on the offensive;
for too many years defenders of gun rights have operated only on the defensive, just hoping through compromise to minimize the losses.

That's given us the Brady Bill and other travesties.
Now it's time to work on getting some rights back.

[Jeff Head]

Amen. But I would word it as follows.

Now it's time to work on getting those unalienable, God-given rights that we already have, and always have had, once again recognized in law as they should be.

We never lost the rights, just the law's recognition of them and the resulting infringements.

[KingNo155]

Josh Horwitz was never elected to office so by his standard he should also butt out.
