So tempted to say something snide...plenty of justification...
But I can’t bring myself to wish a political opponent ill. Prayers for his family, and for his soul.
There are days when I wish I didn't have a conscience. Of course, if I didn't, I wouldn't be posting here on Free Republic. But I digress.
Ted Kennedy's politics represent everything in the world that I utterly despise. More than I can say on this forum, without the possibility of being banned.
That said, my father had a stroke 18 years ago, at the relatively young age of 56. He's still here, but he has never recovered on his right side. And unlike Senator Kennedy, my dad did not have a malignant brain tumor.
So I will offer my prayers for Ted Kennedy, the person, that God will either heal him or take him - let's face it, we're all going to go someday - and for his family. I think that is appropriate, humanely and politically.
And THAT makes you the better person.
