For a while this morning, it looked as if Ted Kennedy had stroked out. As was to be expected, laudatory news coverage was broadcast everywhere, even on Fox News, and as fawning as the coverage on Fox was I shudder to think how obsequious and drooling the Democratic Party lap dog networks were.
As it turns out, the strokes were actually seizures and it appears the Senator will recover fully. As a human being, I am pleased. As an American I’m a little disappointed. Anything that brings an end to Ted Kennedy’s political career is a good thing for America. Few people alive today have done more to destroy this country than Massachusetts’ favorite imbiber. Just about any anti-American would have been pleased to call the Senator’s 1965 Immigration Bill punch in Uncle Sam’s throat the capstone of his career. Teddy, of course, was just getting warmed up.
I’m a passionately loyal American, but even I get exasperated at the obtuseness of my fellow citizens at times. After some 50+ years of Kennedy family antics and escapades, a significant portion of my countrymen and women still consider the Kennedy clan to be the American equivalent of royalty. The sad truth is that as long as Joe Kennedy’s horde of descendants stalk the Earth, no freedom that Americans enjoy is safe.
