Agreed. Ted Kennedy is dead. Good.
After I sent that I worried that maybe it wasn’t Latin at all. I had two years of Latin in high school. Owing to my really weak background in English at the time both years were first year. I barely made it through 1st year Latin the second year I took it. Glad that phase is over!
Man are the FRAIDY CATS out in force here these days!!!!!!
The left will use Kennedy's passing for their own venal purposes.
In a manner of speaking, the conservative’s “good manners” is partly what brought us the dem majority and the mess we are in.
Its long been time to fight fire with fire!
Well none of us have left another human being to drown to save there own political career. God may forgive him but I don't have to.
Thanks.
I like your strategy.
Put a little a way each week and when that fiasco is finally over go out and treat yourself to the latest sweet TV.
To the person who singlehandely tried to undermine a country who gave him so much, I hope hus condo is between his heroes, Stalin and Pol Pot.
What bar is that.
I’m gonna be in the Hyannis area Labor day weekend and wouldn’t mind checking it out.
Ain’t no fraidy cat and I don’t care what 1 poster on DU thinks. I was just sharing what I found
teddy will be central to one more battle. Whatever his apologists come up with as a “legacy” will need to have all seven of its head cut off.
How spiritual.
This website (freerepublic.com) aspires to be the "...premier online gathering place for independent, grass-roots conservatism on the web. We're working to roll back decades of governmental largesse, to root out political fraud and corruption, and to champion causes which further conservatism in America. And we always have fun doing it."
This of course implies freedom of speech. Self-censorship may be what you are proposing but what a futile cause you have chosen to champion! And with an especially difficult subject! And in a forum for those who are passionate and outspoken. Do you always "tilt at windmills"?
I have no idea what Senator Kennedy the man was like. No idea what his family life was like, or what kind of dad or husband he was. I have my suspicions but have not looked into it.
All I know is his public persona. In my opinion, he was not (as Obama has said) the greatest Senator of our time. But that kind of rhetoric deserves rebuttal.
His political life (and even his impending demise, during which he asked for the law to be disregarded so that his replacement could be appointed rather than elected) was characterized by dishonesty, elitism, self-service, and abuse of power.
I'm done.
Lefty bloggers opinion don’t matter to me. Just sharing what I found. Git pi$$ed at somebody else!
To the person who singlehandely tried to undermine a country who gave him so much, I hope hus condo is between his heroes, Stalin and Pol Pot.

Exactly.
Remember, in politics, it’s not how you play the game, it’s whether you win or lose. Decorum is for suckers...

Kennedy smears President Bush and our troops on the US Senate floor:
He described the Iraq war as a fraud “made up in Texas” as part of political strategy — accused the President of the US of “telling lie, after lie, after lie”, in order to go to war in Iraq.
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,”
Sen. Edward Kennedy Smears the Nation
“On March 19, 2004, President Bush asked: ‘Who would prefer that Saddam’s torture chambers still be open?’ Shamefully, we now learn that Saddam’s torture chambers reopened under new management — U.S. management.”
A speech on the Senate floor, May 10, 2004.
Kennedy’s smear of Judge Bork on the US Senator floor:
“Robert Bork’s America is a land in which women would be forced into back-alley abortions, blacks would sit at segregated lunch counters, rogue police could break down citizens’ doors in midnight raids, schoolchildren could not be taught about evolution, writers and artists could be censored at the whim of the Government, and the doors of the Federal courts would be shut on the fingers of millions of citizens for whom the judiciary is — and is often the only — protector of the individual rights that are the heart of our democracy....”
Kennedy betrays President Reagan:
May 14, 1983 document from the KGB archives reveals that Senator Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) reached out to the General Secretary of the Soviet Union’s Communist Party, Yuri Andropov, to propose a kind of public relations strategy to counter President Reagan’s defense policy initiatives toward the Soviet Union, policies that Kennedy felt were too aggressive.
Karma, has a sense of humor.
