Ron Scott tried to excuse Ted's behavior by the deaths of his brothers, and asked for what danger there is from communism today.
Let me answer both. First, Ted's behavior came along way before any of his brothers died. Chappaquidick shows us just what kind of a person he is. While John Kennedy risked his life for his men on his PT boat, and with his brother, Bobby Kennedy, stood firm against communism in the Cuba Missile Crisis; we have Teddy going his own spoiled brat way. Mort Sahl, the comedian and political commentator once mentioned how people would grab him and say, "you've got to see this new senator, he's just like JFK" or "This new guy is just like Bobby." Mort wondered if there was anyone that wasn't like JFK or Bobby, and then it dawned on him: Teddy. If anything, Teddy sold out to communist/extreme liberal interests long ago, and shares nothing with his older brothers except the now misnomered label "Democrat." JFK lowered taxes, while there hasn't been a tax increase that Teddy didn't think was too small. JFK fought for American strength, freedom, and independence in developing programs like the space program. Teddy has sought to expand welfare services at the expense of the welfare recipients, who are enslaved in a system they can scarcely break out of. Now, as for communism's modern threat. I don't look at it as a threat by communism, but by tyrannical ideologies. Ideologies that seek to reach their goals by enslaving or killing millions are evil. America should not support nor sustain any of them, except in encouraging them to become free republics. Then, I read the Revelation of John as discussing Beasts, etc. I see the first Beast as the European Union, with its disgust for true freedom and desire to establish a major economic system enforced everywhere (which is what the Beast does. You can't buy nor sell without its mark: the Euro?). Then, the Dragon is China, which is becoming a world power. Finally, the second Beast will be the Muslim nations, as they enhance in power, and as Europe embraces them in their disgust toward Israel, and in their attempt to pacify terrorists. I am not a capitalist, BTW. I believe it is just as easy to push capitalism in communist China as it is to do it here. I am a believer in human liberty, not given by the state, but by God. This is the clencher that separates free republics like the USA from many of its counterparts in Europe. France and Germany believe in freedom, only as long as it doesn't bother the politicians. France doesn't have several viewpoints readily available to its people, but only that of the ruling party. They seek to secularize the EU, getting rid of Christianity, rather than allowing religious freedom, but recognizing its roots: both the good and bad of it all. I see a grave danger coming in the name of capitalism and false democracies that embrace tyrannical governments. We have been known to do it in the past, but hopefully we are learning we cannot do so any longer. Meanwhile much of Europe is becoming one of the world's greatest dangers because of its embracing terrorist nations and ideologies.
