Those who want you to doubt that anarchy (self-ownership and individual responsibility) is the best, most moral, and ethical way to live among others are asking you to accept that theft, aggression, superstition, and slavery are better.

Ted Kennedy
Hmmmm. "Senator Ted Kennedy has been diagnosed with a malignant brain..." Well, duh! It took this long for people to figure that out? I would think that anyone who has not been in a coma for the past several decades would have known that. His brain has killed and enslaved millions of people throughout the world. His brain has conspired against America and the liberty that was intended to be our birthright. His brain has spread its creamy filling of socialism far and wide, and ... Oh, wait... "...a malignant brain TUMOR." Never mind.
I find no humor at all in this man (or any other) being diagnosed with a horrible illness which may very well kill him.
ReplyDeleteKent...The news of Kennedy's "brain
ReplyDeletetumor" was no surprise to me...
This would probably explain much of
his political actions...The REAL
surprise to me was that Kennedy
actually has a brain!
To "elfninosmom" and other "like-
minded" individuals: You're quite
right about no "humor" with this
"horrible illness"...At the same
time,Kennedy's CRIMES AGAINST
HUMANITY are NO laughing matter
either!
I do not mourn nor celebrate his demise. But I will not be like some of his political "opponents" I have seen on TV singing his praises just because he is dying. He is an evil, evil man and the world would have been better off if he had been a janitor.
ReplyDeleteOne more thing.... some people do/did great harm by being alive. People such as Hitler, Pol Pot, and Ted Kennedy. Is it improper to recognize that fact?
ReplyDeleteI feel great sympathy for innocent people who are hurting. Ted Kennedy is not innocent, nor has he been since he first began having political aspirations. His family is probably greatly to blame, but he is still responsible for his actions.
I give him WAY more respect and consideration than he gives people like me who value freedom. I just can't find any sympathy for tyrants who are dying. Maybe that makes me mean. I think it is a simple recognition of reality.
Well said,Kent...I hope the rest of
ReplyDeleteyour readers will understand your
painfully honest explanation...
Let's say you have a brain tumor, Kent. Then let's say someone uses that information as an excuse to say terrible things about you, in a format where it could be seen by your children, who are already terribly upset and even overwhelmed about your illness.
ReplyDeleteIs it funny now? Or is it just unnecessarily cruel?
Ted Kennedy's career (and private life, for that matter) was "unnecessarily cruel" and not at all funny.
ReplyDeleteI fully expect if it became known I was dying of something, and my actions had harmed multitudes innocent of people, that my illness would be fair game for celebration and/or humor.
That is part of the price for taking a stand and daring to make waves. His waves just happen to be waves of destruction and socialism. You reap what you sow.
His family knows what he is, even if they agree with his policies. They can't expect me and others whom this man has harmed to feel bad that he is dying. Let him recant and repudiate his actions and pledge the rest of his life in restitution and I will wish him a speedy recovery and a long life to right some of his wrongs. Otherwise....
He chose how to live his life just as I have chosen how to live mine. Why should this man be given a "pass" on his life of indescribable evil? Everyone dies and it is always a personal tragedy, even when our deaths mean an end to a bad person. Where is the compassion for the innocent victims of this man's life?
Is he given a pass because he claimed to be "helping people"? The Spanish Inquisition "helped" people similarly.
Are you glad Hitler died and would it be possible for you to see some humor in his death or would you think that anyone who jokes about it is heartless? Do the decades that have passed since Hitler's death make a difference? Is there a threshhold of "numbers" that Hitler passed and Kennedy did not? How many deaths and destroyed lives does it take to make him evil enough to feel little or no compassion for? 1, 50, 6 million?
There is a sad tendency for people to honor and respect politicians who did not earn it. I feel more compassion for some homeless guy who did not seek to base his life's work on theft and coercion and who is now dying of a brain tumor than I do for someone like Kennedy who has worked against individual liberty and dignity for his entire disgusting career.
I am not saying he is that much worse than most other members of congress, just that he is seen as more influential and has been working to destroy freedom longer than most others.
How dare you make fun of Herr Hitler and his untimely demise! He, like Herr Kennedy and Herr Klinton and her faithful husband, have/had great plans for the people of the world, and how dare you oppose them!
ReplyDeleteIt's a great tragedy, almost as bad as the death of our great hero Che Guevara, that such a man could ever be laid low by an ailment which should be reserved for commoners.
