Excellent post, Denny. That's going out to everyone I know, especially the liberal retards.

I didn't know about the cheating thing until last year.

One thing I've never understood is, how come Ted could get out of the car but Mary Jo couldn't?

The Dims have no conscience. When the R's get into trouble they resign and/or go to jail. Look at Alcee Hastings in the House. Hell he was impeached for crissakes and now they are trying to put him on the ethics committee or some other bunghole job. Look at the Dims on the judiciary committee. They should all be in jail or at least on the FBI's most wanted list. Leahy got thrown off the Intelligence committee after leaking secrets to the press. Then there is Kennedy the murderer and the list goes on and on.

Didja ever notice how much our Democratic leaders resemble those worthless bastards at the UN?

Oh, forgot -- C & P'd the entire thing to my e-mail addee list. Noticed I didn't give you props after I'd sent it. Mea culpa.

Nice some one remembers Mary Jo.

When I look at Ted Kennedy I see a man who left a woman to die to save his own ass..

I'm old enough to remember the accident. I was a young woman, and I thought Kennedy was lieing and could have saved Mary Jo.

Also, I've not forgotten Kennedy's beautiful ex-wife who became an alcoholic .... I'm sure he drove her to drink!

...and I don't want to read that men don't drive women to drink!!!!

vicki-
I drove my ex to drinking. She could suck 'em down quicker than a frat boy on a Saturday night! Too bad her drink of choice wasn't gasoline on the rocks...

As a reporter for the Boston Globe recentl said:

"If Mary Jo Kopechne were alive today, she would be praising Ted Kennedy for his stance on health care for seniors..."

And he was serious!

Excellent post Denny, that pusgutted slob needs to be reminded that we haven't forgotten on his anniversary. http://kennedy.senate.gov/senator/contact.cfm

Great post. I hate all of the Kennedy's, Cat

Not to belittle Mary Jo's life at all, but this happened how many years ago? Can we focus on the present? Dubya is farking up big time. Teddy has always been an embarrassment to us. Is this all you got?

Here we go...

And a "well done" too to the fine folks in Massachussetts for re-electing his sorry ass every 6 years like clockwork, even knowing full well what he's all about.

Teresa-
What does it matter how many years ago it was? It happened! Isn't that enough for you? Does the Statute of Limitations take a back seat to a horrible thing that douchebag did?

It was before my birth, but that doesn't make me any less disgusted in that bloviating shitbag! He should be hanging from his grapes by 2lb. test! Are you gonna really compare that fuck-o to Dubya?

By saying that it's too long ago to matter, is definately belittling her life! No question about it...

And how does this pertain to Dubya again??...

Let's not forget that Teddy Kennedy was one of the chief proponents of the Immigration Act of 1965. This was the act that opened up the US to immigrants from around the world, and has been instrumental in changing our country from being 89% white and with a unified culture into a 70% white (and dropping) multiculturalist hell on earth.

Teddy said this about the effects of the bill:

our cities will not be flooded with a million immigrants annually.

That's right: our cities, towns, and countrysides have been flooded with more than a million legal and illegal immigrants every year.

Under the proposed bill, the present level of immigration remains substatially the same

Except that immigration levels increased drastically.

the ethnic mix of this country will not be upset

Yeah. Right. Sure. The white population has shrunk from 89% to 70% in 40 years, and as of 2006, non-white 5-year-olds are 45% of the population. Blacks got screwed, going from being the largest minority group to the second-largest, due to massive Hispanic immigration.

[the act] will not inundate America with immigrants from any one country or area, or the most populated and economically deprived nations of Africa and Asia

When in reality, immigration from many such nations--Vietnam, Laos, the Philippines, South Korea (which only recently became an economically significant country), Ethiopia, Afghanistan, India, Egypt, Venezuela, Mexico, El Salvador, and others--has dominated immigration since that suicidal act was passed.

the ethnic pattern of immigration... is not expected to change

See above. Hell, look around you! Incidentally, other supporters of the bill, like Robert Kennedy and Hyram Fong, dismissed charges that the racial composition of the nation would change. The reality? For one example, the Asian population of the US jumped over 200% in 20 years and 600% in 35 years.

Incidentally, Teddy dismissed critics of the act as bigots--and everyone who has criticized immigration since has been subject to the same calumny.

With leaders like this, America will cease to exist in any recognizable form within 50 to 100 years.

Teresa, Please regale us with how Duby is Farking up big time right now (this comment alone make me believe your a regular reader of that left leaning site). I absolutely positively don't see it that way. In fact, just the opposite. Let's take a look shall we. He went to Iraq to force Saddams hand since the fucktards (that reads "pacifists") at the UN couldn't seem to do their job. Our overwhelming domination of that conflict made the middle eastern animals pretty upset, so they started throwing rocks (well, things a little more dangerous than rocks)at the next closest "enemy" Israel. And look where it's gotten them now. None of the libs talking points ever carry any weight when it comes to GW (your President I'll be glad to remind you :) and what they said the war in Iraq would do. Let's see, how else did he Fark up? Oh yeah, he said shit while talking Tony Blair. That was a real news story huh? Please, get a grip and get off your "anyone but Bush" bandwagon. The country is in the biggest economic boon we've seen in decades. Unemployment is the lowest. The government, turns out, has way more money than the lefties tried to tell us they had, and we are safer here at home than we ever had been. How has GW farked up big time? Well he sucks on immigration reform (I know you and I agree on that), and vetoing this stupid stem cell bill is absolutely ridiculous, but the other issues he's been dealing with very well are a little more important. Please take these FACTS (not heartfelt emotions like you libs are so prone to having) to the bank.

Teresa.......

I always though anyone who fished was really an OK kind of person regardless of lesser indiscretions or personality flaws. Then you come along & gloss over the record of Ted Kennedy & somehow try to make our President out to be some kind of monster. You are really fucking stupid, Ted Kennedy is a murderer, he belongs in jail but the people of taxachusetts are just as stupid as you & put his sorry ass back in the senate every 6 years.

You are within your rights to dislike or to even distrust our president ...... I certainly have reservations over some of his actions & lack of action in other areas but he is the president , he has faced far more adversity then did Clinton & has at least shown the capacity to lead.

You have shown the lack of capacity to think, to recognize reality , to abanbon those dimocratic Icons overwhelmed with self importance even when the despicable reality of their past is brought to the forefront for all the world to see. For you to excuse the actions of Ted Kennedy just because time has passed is despicable also..... He has never been brought to justice for the murder of Mary Jo, He has never even been held accountable to adequately explain his actions on that night. For your information there is no statute of limitations for murder, I for one hope he is ultimately brought to justice.

I pity you for your lack of common sense & expectation of decency from our elected officials, you are a perfect example of what is wrong with the American political system , at least from the liberal left. We on the right expect & require much more from our representatives or we move to replace not honor them .

Squidley,

I won't get into the Ted Kennedy argument. I've never been much of a Kennedy fan myself. However, several of your comments are coming close to white supremacy. The United States has been a multicultural country from the beginning.

Dudley, Squidley, and Charlie Delta-way to go.

Let us not forget that flappy earred jabba the hut showing up at Michael kennedy Smith's rape trial and his cousin Micheal Skankey,what's his butt, who killed Martha Moxley.

If Jabba ever shows up to vouch for me, for anything at all, please shoot me in the head twice? Kill any conspiracy theories!

If Mary Jo were your sister, Teresa, or maybe even your mother, I don't think you would have made such a stupid, stupid fucking statement. It doesn't matter how many years ago it was, sister. Based on your logic, should a murderer or someone guilty of manslaughter only be sentenced to 90-days in jail, simply so every one can "focus on the present?" Duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, Teresa, you're not the brightest star in the galaxy are you.

Teresa, the post was about Mary Jo...not Bush...like most liberals your hatred for him overrides your ability to stay focused on the subject.

Liberalism is a mental disorder.

Whoot! Liberalism is a mental disorder indeedie!

I'm reading (m)Ann Coulter's new book and laughing myself silly at the left wing nuts.
The Katie Courics, HugoChaves and Lil'kims are just a start.

I want my grammy, and I want grammy mac and cheese damn it!

Mary Jo's parents refused to allow an autopsy on Mary Jo because Teddy's money got to them first. Why didn't Teddy want an autopsy? Because Mary Jo was carrying Teddy's unborn child. That's why Teddy got out of the car and Mary Jo didn't. Very conventient indeed.

this is so, so trransparrent. digging p old news to deflect attention away from the fact that your oh so precious president is digging a deeper hole than ever. iraq is now a warzone; affghanistans noot much better; etc. do you comment on this? no. you cover your ears and go lalalalala.

republicans do not think. its the mentality of children which governs them. "we're right despite the factss."

Wow Matthew, what a brilliant post...

If that drunken bastard was out of the picture, you might have an arguement, but since he's still bashing our brave Soldiers who are fighting the fight, and undermining the WOT at every turn, it has significance more than ever.

"republicans do not think. its the mentality of children which governs them."

Yet the liberal Democraps want a nanny state, and think the government should take care of them with MY money!

And please share your wisdom of the "facts" with us. Douchebag!

FUCK. YOU!

Attention Matthew G the liberal horses ass;

You do not want facts, you want your convoluted fairy tale world of make believe where everybody is liberal , dimocratic & we all get along.

The real world is not like that , it is glaringly stark at times with harsh reality, something you must face if you ever hope to survive. But that is not something you liberal leftwingers are any good at....accepting the truth.

This posting about Mary Jo is a perfect example, first Teresa the dim wit & now you are defending the actions of a murdering bastard by trying to deflect the focus to alleged misdeeds of the president. Well we will never accept the forgiveness of Ted the Killer of Chappaquidick in spite of attempts by boneheaded fools like you , Teresa & any other leftwing wackoloons.

Maybe the dimocratic senate leadership can hire Dan Rather to do a TV special to explain just how poor Teddie has been maligned & mis-understood all these years, who knows a fax from Kinkos in Texas might show up stating that Bush not Ted was driving across that bridge. For Christ Sakes,Dan would drool all over his tie & piss his pants with delight with another mysterious fax in his hot little hands with a chance to take another shot at the president.

No one with intelligence would believe it, but you leftwingers blame Bush for everything so you might as well clear Teds name with the continued liberal hatred for Bush you use to savage him on a daily basis no matter what he does.You liberals are really stupid.

Matthew - I still support the war. Even more than when it started. I will have a post about that in the near future. This post went up because it is the anniversary of a scumbag getting away with murder. I post about that asshole every year on this date. Save your anti-war and dhimmi comments for when I actually post about the war. That goes for you too Teresa. This post was not about Bush or Iraq. It was about Ted Kennedy, a drunk and a killer.

This is the e-mail response I got from "the swimmers" website. From the link above. I c+p'd My name is Mary Jo Kopechne.
I would have been 66 years of age this year. And sent it to his bloated asses web-mail.

Thank you for your message. Hearing your views is important to me, because it allows me to better understand the constituents that I serve in the United States Senate. It makes me proud to know that my constituents take an active role in our government by corresponding with me, and I look forward to responding to your concerns in greater detail.
As you can imagine, my office receives a great number of messages every day regarding a variety of issues – this is particularly true of e-mails. In the meantime, I just wanted to let you know that your e-mail has been received, and to ask for your patience until I send you a more detailed response.
Again, thank you for writing. Please feel free to visit my website http://kennedy.senate.gov to follow my work in the Senate and to learn more about the services my office can provide to you.
Warmest regards

Ted Kennedy

I can't wait for his more detailed response! What a suckass.
BWAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Gajet is a typical liberal. As soon as you point out the damage that unfettered immigration (made possible, in part, by Teddy Kennedy) is doing to America, he starts in with the PC BS and accusations of racism.

Gajet wrote:

The United States has been a multicultural country from the beginning.

You've been well-indoctrinated, I see. America's culture is based on the multiple cultures of England and... England? This country was founded by Protestant white Americans of English descent. Please point out the Chinese Confucianists, Japanese Shintoists, Indian Hindus, Iranian Parsis, Arabian Moslems, African animists, SE Asian Buddhists, Native American Great Spirit worshippers, and other "multiculturalists" amongst our Founding Fathers. Oh, wait, that's right: there weren't any! Non-Western peoples had no role whatsoever--none--in the creation of this nation, and even now, their influence on our overall culture is minor. I'm surprised I even have to point this out.

Gajet also opined:

However, several of your comments are coming close to white supremacy.

Ah, yes. I must be a white supremecist because I object to becoming a minority in my own country.

Turn the tables and see what you think: for instance, would it be OK for millions of Chinese to move to Ethiopia? Would it be OK for them to insist on the use their language(s), to impose their beliefs and practices onto Ethiopian public life, to demand special treatment and recognition of their culture at the expense of the Ethiopians? No? Then why is it OK for everyone in the world to come here and not only fail to assimilate but to impose their demands on us?

This is part of the liberal lunacy--again, encouraged by the likes of Teddy Kennedy--that not only fails to see the white people as a distinct group, but utterly fails to see the value of our unique culture, a culture that has achieved the highest levels of achievement in all aspects of human life. This same liberal lunacy is ready to sacrifice this amazing culture to minorities and foreigners, all in the name of PC.

Gajet, step back from the Kool-Aid.

Teresa,

Forgive and forget is a good way to live one's personal life, but a poor way to run your public life. I don't even remember most of the wrongs I have suffered, nor those who perpetrated them, but I know where the child molesters in my community live. A few days after the accident, I forgave the guy who rear-ended me, but it took years for his insurance company to do so. The families of Charles Manson's victims have moved on with their lives as best they can, but he still rots behind bars.

I think it is much more noble not to have fallen in the first place than to have fallen and made a comeback. By "fall," I mean both personal problems--addiction, obesity, etc.--and legal ones--DUI, bribery, and even murder. Besides, immoral people are generally immoral in more than just one aspect of their lives. Why should we not hold them accountable? Teddy Kennedy's early life was rife with personal failings; how those got overlooked can only be due to his extraordinary family connections.

The 18th century North American colonies were not entirely English. Along with the Brits were large numbers of Scots, Irish, and Welsh. The Dutch presence was still strong, as was the German. At one point it was not certain which language, English or German, would predominate in some colonies, such as Pennsylvania and even along the coast. The French outnumbered the British in many areas, and the Spanish were numerous by ratio along the Gulf Coast.

Scots, Irish, and French were the great adventurers in those days; Englishmen were primarily port and city dwellers and Germans were farmers. The farther inland you got, the fewer English you encountered.

Some sources say that roughly 20% of the 13 original colonies' population was African, and we really can't forget the Amerinds.

Squidley, you are the smartest basdard I've ever read. Maybe because I've never disagreed with you.

Gesh, I feel like a Dixie Chick here. Okay, I'll admit that I should not have made such a post on a tribute post. I guess that many of you missed when I stated that I did not want to belittle her life and that the Kennedys are a huge embarrassment to us. It somehow turned into a attack the Liberal post.

woo hoo...Squid's on a roll!

Teresa,

Don`t feel like a dixie chick ...... even they wouldn`t be dumb enough to allude to forgiveness to Unsteady Teddie. That BS is reserved to dumb liberals like you.

Also we did not miss your tongue in cheek remarks as to not belittling her life & the Kennedy`s embarrassment to you ........ we just don`t believe you. You like most liberals are in love with the Camelot vision of the Kennedy era that was a charade orchestrated by the LSM, the dimocratic party & the hollywood suckups.

If you combine the foregoing with your pathetic hatred for our President.....well, any semblance of common sense or decency flies out the window. You should be ashamed , very ashamed that you posted anything that conveys acceptance for Ted Kennedy or anything he has done. His actions stir deepfelt resentment among decent people of all parties not just we conservatives. Murder is Murder, forgiveness comes after admission of guilt & appropriate punishment, not before.

Damn dudley1, that was beautiful and bad-ass! Well said!!

I remember reading this on a bathroom wall in Washington, D.C. in 1980:

There was a young senator from Mass,
who wanted a fine piece of ass,
he lucked up and found one,
fucked up and drowned one,
and now his future is in the past!

Blog meet on me, I'll make the punch!

gene Hall & vicki,

Thanks!

babalu,

Yes, you're right about all those groups. How diverse: Everyone from the British Islands, and a smattering of other Europeans. We got rid of both the Spanish and the French, though some of their people remained.

Regardless of where the people came from, it was English law that formed the basis for American law (yes, I know that some states' laws are not based on English common law, but they are the exception, not the rule). Regardless of private beliefs and practices, it was WASP values that were the public American values: hard work, self-restraint, Protestantism, respect for the law, and more.

The prospect of German becoming the language of the land has been far overplayed: German had no more chance than Ojibwe of becoming the language of the new nation.

African and American Indian cultures had zero impact on the founding of our nation. None. Zilch. Zip.

Multicultural my shiny white butt!

One more thought on the lie that America has always been "multicultural":

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another...

The Founding Fathers did not see America as multicultural: they saw themselves as one people.

QED.

You know why Teddy wont run for president dontcha? That friggin' head is like a small planetoid with its own gravity, and acts like a bullet magnet! Maybe he should loosen his tie before the thing explodes.

Another Teddie quote:

"Do we operate under a system of equal justice under law?

Or is there one system for the average citizen
and another for the high and mighty?"
- Senator Ted Kennedy, 1973 –

Yes, of course liberalism is a mental defect. Liberals are wracked by self-loathing as the result of some traumatic incident -- say, driving drunk off a bridge with your mistress passed out in the back seat and letting the poor girl drown because you're a married man and a U.S. senator, just to take one utterly random, hypothetical example off the top of my head." --Ann Coulter

ANN COULTER FOR PRESIDENT!!
