Bill Thompson vs. Ted Kennedy

=========================================
This mess was split from: Rest in Peace: Ted Kennedy -Lance
=========================================
It sucks when someone dies. People close to us are ripped out of
our lives forever and we have to adjust.
It is a time for serious reflection and introspection.
It is not to be taken lightly. It is the most serious of all
serious things.
And yet, somehow and for some reason, people are flocking to
Edward Kennedy's memorial and funeral.
Considering the sorts of people who do this, I know I am going
to have to explain this in detail because a lot of people just
won't get it. But this outpouring for this man is going to have
a huge backlash. No, not the death of Edward Kennedy... no,
that is not what I am saying at all. I am talking about how
middle America is going respond to this outpouring of grief
and sympathy that some people are having for Kennedy.
Other people -- the people who would NOT go to a memorial of
Edward Kennedy for just and sound reasons -- are going to be
motivated and stirred. This is where the backlash is going
to come from.
And I predict the end result is that Obama is not going to
be elected for a second term.
Where do I begin with my expatiation? Lets start with this.
The United States is not a monarchy. The sins, the lusts, the
exploits, the deviant behavior of the prince or king or his family
is not excusable just because we have faith and belief that the
royalty has the interest of peasants at heart.
Edward (by the way, how do you get "Ted" from Edward? I always
thought it was a ruse to get people to think he was a cross between
his brothers and Ted Roosevelt) Kennedy will never has his
face carved out of a mountain or have his profile on a coin. This
is because he was not representative of nor exemplified what it
means to be an American.
Is it too soon to speak ill will toward the dead? In this case, it
is not.
Noone's life was really improved by this man having walked the
earth. The liberal bills would have been written and passed with
or without him. His nonsensical ramblings on The Daily Show
stole minutes from all our time. His empty, fluff filled speeches
designed only to promote himself made the poor and less fortunate
find excuse in the rich boogie-man instead of trying to lift
themselves up by their bootstraps. And this diminished the
quality of all our lives in the end.
Sorry, "Ted" (which, by the way is a closer association to Bundy
rather than Roosevelt) will not be missed.
I know this will angry lots of people. If there is one thing
I have leaned, it is that liberals tend to enjoy the comfort of
a pleasant, superficial myth rather than the harsh truth.
Ironically, it was John Kennedy who said the it is the myth that
is the enemy of Truth, rather than the lie.
