The shameless Obama and his minions in the Rat party using Teddy’s death to tell us we now have an obligation to pass government healthcare to “honor Teddy’s legacy.”

I suppose there will be some of this, but it won't carry much weight. The dead belong to the past.

The end of Camelot.

Not with a bang but a whimper.

Speaking of JFK Jr. don’t you wonder why the swimmer supported BO over PIAPS...

His final words were to break his own law to maintain 60 votes in the sinate for communist healthcare that would deny us the care he got. Perhaps he can apologize to the 50 million dead babies and one pregnant secretary.

Pray for America and Our Troops

“I can’t wait to see the big religious ceremonies thrown in this guy’s supposed honor.”

For me....thats the phoniest part of the Kennedy legacy....some Catholic Church will will praise him...even tho they stood for everything the Church is against!

I don't know much about Eunice but I do know enough about JFK and RFK to know I didn't like them. They were fairly liberal for their time but not as much by today's standards granted. JFK was a lot like Toon in so many ways...punani, gangsterism in elections, populism, inept foreign adventures, daddy issues etc

RFK was the darling of the Left after Eugene imploded...the freedom rider cum anti-war gang loved RFK....

Sorry I’m just being real honest. I firmly believe he was one of the most crooked evil politicians on the face of this earth.

Nancy he’s waiting for you!!!

Is that a Judas Priest reference or just a biker thing?

As best I can, I follow the prayer threads on FR where there are people whose daily suffering, and whose losses, are meaningful to me. None will ever make headlines or the evening news. It is those for whom I pray.

I am neither charitable nor Christian enough to worry much about Ted Kennedy. He was blessed with looks, charm, and wealth. More important, he was born into a country and a faith that had strong meaning. He chose to spend his career opposing and destroying the foundations of both.
