This was quite civil compared to some
of the things I've seen from the detractors of George Bush in his 8
years. Teddy has a lot more years, hence more material to work with. :-)

"There
is no virtue in compulsory government charity, and
there is no virtue in advocating it. A politician who portrays himself
as
"caring" and "sensitive" because he wants to expand the
government's charitable programs is merely saying that he's willing to
try to
do good with other people's money. Well, who isn't? And a voter who
takes pride
in supporting such programs is telling us that he'll do good with his
own money
-- if a gun is held to his head."--P.

Hi Billy -
I don't have time to go over this line by line, but in my quick
scan something jumped out to me:
Kennedy
voted for the fraudulent Iraq War that killed 4,000 American soldiers
and wounded 31,000 to date. He's voted against making English our
national language which ensures further Balkanization of our nation via
linguistic chaos. When a nation cannot speak to itself, it becomes
fractured and separated.
Kennedy voted against the Iraq war. In fact he got a lot of
flack for it. If this is the level of fact checking this person is
doing, then I have to throw this piece in the circular file.
It appears that this person has a major ax to grind with Kennedy
and was prepared to blame Kennedy for every ill in society in his
diatribe.
The Immigration Reform of 1965 was a long overdue and needed
piece of reform. My wife, and many of your relatives based on your
self-reports on their country of origin, would not be here. The
pre-1965 immigration laws were racist to their core (can you say,
"Exclusion Acts"). Anyone who attacks someone or the Immigration Reform
of 1965 with the language this individual used is a nutter in my
opinion.
In addition, the lack of civil language in this diatribe
completely turned me off.

We can --and should-- add more
conventional tributes, He did a number
of things, supported a number
of laws, that have served American well,
including welfare reform and educational reform. But this
item--sent to me
by a friend-- deserves some attention a this time against a
background
of round-the-clock TV adulation.
How about some necessary balance ?

Ted
Kennedy's Deadly Legacy For America
By Frosty Wooldridge
8-27-9
http://www.rense.com/general87/legacy.htm
- Teddy
Kennedy died yesterday, but his legacy grows more deadly for future
Americans.
-
-
-
Instead of a rich legacy bequeathed
upon the United States by forever U.S. Senator Teddy Kennedy, the
oft-intoxicated, blubbery fourth brother of the Kennedy clan-four
decades ago--drunkenly drove over a bridge that caused the death of
Mary Jo Kopechne and lied about what happened.
-
-
But his worst and most destructive
legacy for the United States stems from his authorship of the 1965
"Immigration Reform Act" that added the bulk of our additional 100
million people into America within 40 years. It jumped
legal immigration from 170,000 annually to 1.1 million annually. Added
to that disastrous environmental legacy, his actions provoked a
complete ethnic change of our stable society into a fractured
civilization. How? He provided for entrance of immigrants from cultures
totally incompatible with U.S. culture. He downgraded citizenship by
not enforcing our laws or maintaining educational standards.
-
-
"We are the only country in history
that deliberately changed its ethnic makeup, and history has few
examples of 'diversity' creating a stable society." Governor Richard D.
Lamm
-
-
As those immigrants poured into
this country, he facilitated and languished as millions of illegal
aliens marched across our borders to wreak havoc on our schools,
communities, jobs, hospitals, language and prisons. Over 20,000 members
of MS-13 gangs distribute $130 billion in drugs yearly. We pay for
400,000 babies born to illegal alien mothers annually. We suffer 28
million Americans on food stamps because illegals downgrade wages and
take jobs from our working poor.
-
-
Kennedy single handedly planted the
seeds for the destruction of our country per the words of President
Teddy Roosevelt, "The one absolutely certain way of bringing this
nation to ruin, or preventing all possibility of its continuing as a
nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling
nationalities."
-
-
How did Kennedy answer that crisis
of unrelenting illegal border crossing? He proposed, wrote and
encouraged Ronald Reagan to sign the 1986 Immigration Amnesty that
allowed what he said were only 1.3 million illegals. The true number of
illegal aliens that gained instant citizenship became 4.3 million.
-
-
Later, Reagan said signing that
amnesty was the worse mistake of his presidency.
-
-
Last June, 2007, as another 20
million illegal aliens broke over U.S. borders since 1986, Kennedy
tried to give another amnesty by forcing S.B. 1639 into law with his
bluster and pompous bellowing. He voted to double legal immigration to
2.2 million annually! Kennedy remains responsible for our $346 billion
annual costs paying for illegal aliens!
-
-
In Dr. Otis Graham's "Unguarded
Gates: A History of America's Immigration Crisis", he writes, "Most
Western elites continue urging the wealthy West not to stem the migrant
tide, but to absorb our global brothers and sisters until their horrid
ordeal has been endured and shared by all--ten billion humans packed
onto an ecologically devastated planet."
-
-
Kennedy voted for the fraudulent
Iraq War that killed 4,000 American soldiers and wounded 31,000 to
date. He's voted against making English our national language which
ensures further Balkanization of our nation via linguistic chaos. When
a nation cannot speak to itself, it becomes fractured and separated.
-
-
While he battles with brain cancer,
we battle for our nation's life. While he sails his boat around
Martha's Vineyard, we pick up millions of pieces of trash on our
borders from invading illegal alien hordes that he encourages. While he
tips yet another glass of wine, we struggle to maintain our schools,
communities, hospitals and prisons from this illegal invasion. While he
sat on his barnyard wide rear-end for 40 years in the Senate creating
the problems that now destroy our nation, we watched the American Dream
turn into a nightmare.
-
-
Contrary to the editors of the
Denver Post, Ted Kennedy may be likened to Nero of Rome who fiddled
while it burned. Kennedy drank while we fought for our nation's
survival. Kennedy ate at the finest tables while we struggled with his
voting for H-1B and H-2B visas that displaced millions of American
workers. Kennedy sailed his boat while our nation sank into
consequences of a dysfunctional and unsustainable nation.
-
-
Because of Kennedy, our successful
culture finds itself turning into a foreign culture that failed, i.e.,
Mexico. The March PEW report shows Mexicans in America becoming the new
dominate majority by 2050 at 53 percent.
-
-
In other words, rather than serving
America and our future, Senator Ted Kennedy destroyed our America just
as quickly as he took Mary Jo Kopechne's life on a drunken night
somewhere back in the 60s. As she fought for her life in that car as
the waters rose above her, he escaped.
-
-
While we struggle nostril-deep in
the nightmare waters of immigration swirling around us, we may well
drown, too!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
Once again, Teddy Kennedy escapes
via death while we struggle for our nation's life.
