Okay, but should we not rise above what “THEY” do and show some class?

I would go for a drink myself but I am one of those who can’t stand alcohol or coffee. Drink some for me.

Thanks.

Maybe I should have used the abbreviation SOB. Or not expressed pleasure that he was dead.

Such a vast divide in America now. Total polarization between the realistic pragmatists and the magical thinkers or fantasist's.

I just do not understand the people who don't support their own country, culture and survival. Bizarre.

Sometimes you got to play tough. As far as I can see, FReeper remarks are on the level of sleep depredation, humiliation, and waterboarding. The Left's remarks are the equivalent of flogging, mutilation, and beheading. There is no comparison. Furthermore, beyond personal condolences to the Kennedy family for their loss, I wish the Republican leaders, Sarah Palin included, would stop babbling about how much Ted Kennedy loved his country, was a fighter for his ideals, etc. Such remarks lend credence to those who say that the Republicans and Democrats are two wings of the same party. Ted Kennedy was in fact a mortal and (unfortunately) an effective enemy of the principles of limited government and individual liberty upon which this country was founded. As for loving his country and fighting for his ideals, so did Mao Tse-Tung and Pol Pot.

I agree on some levels. Also, while Sarah Palin is a smart woman, I do not think she is qualified to be President - yet.
