No mention of Kopechne

"One should never speak ill of the dead" is a common bit of politically correct wisdom, so, in the wake of the revelation of Teddy Kennedy's brain tumor, I will have to be unkind to him before his passing. Please be assured that nothing I say is meant to diminish his humanity or that of his family. I will restrict my words to a description of some of the evil he has wrought as a U.S. Senator.

Teddy is the youngest son of the Kennedy Dynasty, and although he missed his chance to be President, he has always acted as though he were. Although he is extremely wealthy, he has always feigned concern for the poor, as long as the taxpayers can be made to alleviate their plight. His is virulently political, and is completely committed to the destruction of the Republican Party. It can be said that he has been the most influential proponent of the liberal/socialist philosophy that is the major contributing factor to the trouble in which our nation finds itself. We wish no one pain or unhappiness, so if Teddy does not return to the Senate, millions of Americans may be spared his ill-conceived idea of compassion.
