Not just no, but HELL NO! Talk about true hate. And what do you think their side will do when Dick Cheney, George W. Bush and Rush Limbaugh die?

As for the late Senator from Chappaquiddick being the Lion of the Senate who drew bipartisan consensus, what bipartisan on anything, unless you define bipartisan as RINOs dropping principles to agree with him (John McCain, call your office). Every time a Republican and The Swimmer came to an agreement, it was always on The Swimmer’s terms and principles.

The only reason he’s being buried at Arlington is they need the fat and the booze in him to keep the eternal flame burning. His military service? Submarine duty at Chappaquiddick.

And once again, Mary Jo Kopechne was unavailable for comment.

If we are going to talk about moral grounds, then lets talk moral grounds, purplepeeps: which of the 1973 judges on the Supreme Court did republican presidents nominate? More specifically, which ones that voted up or down? Further, how many of the Wars of the 20th Century were started under Democrats’ watch, and which ones did Republican Presidents have to clean up? If we are going to talk moral high ground, the njust come out and do it, purplepeeps, because Democratic Presidents have been responsible for the US of A becoming involved in both World Wars, Korea, and VietNam, and in the last two, it took Republican Presidents to clean up the mess left over by the democrat predecessors. And the abortion issue? How many of those Republican Presidents had Democrat Majorities in Congress, which promised to KO any anti-abortion bill proposed by the sitting GOP President? Go ahead and look it up; I’ll wait. What was that, again, about a “strawman”?

I’m mnot asurprised you don’t understand the use of the word “we” in this instance, purplepeeps, so since oyu seem to be a bit ignorant about the use of proper English Grammar, let me educate you: Since you are attacking and rebutting Conservatives in general, purplepeeps, who are taking this time to dissent (notice, I typed DISSENT, not “protest”) agaisnt Sen. Kennedy, it is entirely proper for me to use the plural 1st person “we”. The reason you don’t seem to understand, and are going off on needless and senseless grammatical tangents is because your arguments don’t hold water, and you must obfuscate the point by adding confusatory dalliance in order to make up for your position’s weak stance.

Finally, knee-jerk reaction it is not. Sen. Kennedy is known for his uber-liberal stances, his selling out of the allies the US of A promised ot defend, and opening the borders to the illegal laines of 1965 giving us the problem we have otday. My reaction is not a “knee jerk” reaction as you erroneously imply, but a well thought out response to the sainting that is being carried out by the MSM.

And to end with, again, the charge that conservatives are somehow mentally unbalanced is another trick by the left when there is no sound, resourced argument to proffer. President Kennedy, and Attorney General Kennedy were far more conservative than Sen. Kennedy ever was, and that is just the plain truth….

I’m honored that I made you feel guilty for both refusing to read what Michelle wrote and for disrespecting her. Next time you’ll think twice and won’t need to feel so ashamed and embarrassed again.

You’re welcome for the lesson, IR. It steams you now, but your parent(s) should have taught you about basic manners a long time ago. But better late than never!

I hope you are enjoying your time in He11 while Mary Jo is safely in the arms of her loving Lord.

I have not, will not show any more respect for this POS of a Senator than has been shown to far greater men and women that he wasn’t worthy to shine their boots or step a foot on a ship-of-war.

Teddy is a prime example of what the desire for power leads too: A double standard, shredding the US Constitution, giving aid and comfort to our enemies and looking after himself while the rest of us suffer due to the laws he helped write.

So if there is a sense of justice in the next life, it would be this:
a) He gets a warm spot in hades with a bunkmate that calls him “Beiotch” (I heard Sadam Hussein’s cell is available)
b) That he is repeatedly waterboarded in he11′s swimming pool-8 feet deep and covered in molten lava rather than Martha’s finest vineyard.
c) Teddy saves a spot for the four animals that murdered Christian and Newsome and that he becomes one of these animals next “Beoitch”
d) That he recieves the same amount of compassion that he showed Mary Jo Kopechne ie NONE!

Hmmm 27 hours and purp is still being rude guest in MM’s house.

LOL

I’ve just had my first look of the day and see that the manic forum monitor, purplepeep, looks to have gone through a second night without sleep, so important is her self-appointed role as assistant to MM.

Have you gone off your meds, purplepeep?

I have seen some pajamed lunatics in my years on the internet, but I think you may be the ne plus ultra.

I’ll bet all those cats are really getting agitated. You better stir yourself to put out some food for them.

I never said anything, nor alluded to, protesting anyone’s funeral, nor using the same venom and slather that Matthews and his ilk tend to use towards conservatives.

Let’s look at the context, Jason:

What purplepeep and others in her eforget is that the left and the MSM (but I repeat myself) actually DID do that to President Reagan: I watched Chris Matthews smear him.

To which I replied with basically a “so what’s that to you here”? I agree with Michelle’s view that “Well, they do it, too!” is usually a pretty bad excuse. If Michelle had written a entry about media hypocrisy where everyone was having at the media your off-topic complaint might fight in. But that’s not the case here.

I have no intention of eulogizing a man who is responsible for the deaths of millions

Again, that’s just so much total emotional hyperbole strawmen. Can you point out where anyone, much less Michelle, even suggested you to “eulogize” anyone??

By the way, assuming you’re speaking of abortion there;it was legalized under President Nixon and most of the Presidents of our country since that time have been Republican/Conservative. So when you’re looking for comparison points on which to build self-righteousness you have a whole lotta people to point fingers at. I’d say the same to self-righteous loony lefties who go off on derangement syndrome tirades about GOP leaders who’ve “killed millions” (e.g. Bush killing a million+ Iraqis)

Since you seem to be addressing more than one person, is it not grammatically appropos to use the first person plural we?

I have no idea what you’re saying there, Jason. I can only comment to one person at a time, e.g. you-now-here. It makes me giggle when anyone other than the Queen of England employs the term instead of “I” or “me”. But I believe even the Queen has dropped the usage.

“you just went off on a series of Pavlovian political emotional explosions solely as a result of seeing the word “Kennedy”.”

Yes, yes, when you have nothign else in your “bag of ‘tricks’”, why not attack a person’s intelligence?

Nope, that’s speaking to emotionalism, not intelligence. Knee-jerk reactions are not wrong in and of themselves. When they come out at the wrong time and place, that’s wrong. In this case, more to the point, it’s disrespectful to Michelle’s extremely clear plea to set aside the knee-jerk reaction for a day. It was your emotional reasoning that somehow incorrectly processed her plea into a demand for a eulogy.

I admire Ted Kennedy’s elder brothers.

I believe I noted it was some other commenter’s – not yours – own over-the-top emotional reaction that was, quite frankly, not just incredibly disrespectful but truly mentally unbalanced re: the Kennedy brothers.

You’re certainly welcome to emulate the lunatic fringe left and Chris Matthews if you so desire, Jason. There are even the headcases who protest at funerals to cite as role models, if you wish.

Thanks for twisting my words and their meanings, puprplepeeps. I never said anything, nor alluded to, protesting anyone’s funeral, nor using the same venom and slather that Matthews and his ilk tend to use towards conservatives. What I meant was that I have no intention of eulogizing a man who is responsible for the deaths of millions, whose political and governmental decisions have made the U.S. of A. a much worse place, and who helped to open the floodgates for illegal immigration. And just so you know, purple, I did read Ms. Malkin’s request, and I ahve been cordial in my dissent towards Se. K’s eulogizing by the left. Take or leave it, my friend.

As I alluded before, I’m sadly used to a generation of males lacking even such basic civilities as opening doors for women or taking one’s hat-cap off when entering a house of worship.

So am I. But if you are going to accuse me of uncivility, then just have at it, come on out and od it, but be prepared for a rebuttal to your opinion, and please, do go back and read my posts, and feel free to point out any uncivility I’ve shown. In the words of one of my Football Coachss, “Put up or shut up…”

Usually when someone intones the Royal “We” I wondering if it’s a case of worms or what, but I digress. (Conjoined twins, mayhaps?)

Since you seem to be addressing more than one person, is it not grammatically appropos to use the first person plural we? And, again, thanks for dragging this discussion we are having down to an inappropriate level. Tacking liberally in a discussion is not really a wise course of action.

Obviously you either refused to, or were unable to, read what our hostess wrote above and instead you just went off on a series of Pavlovian political emotional explosions solely as a result of seeing the word “Kennedy”.

Yes, yes, when you have nothign else in your “bag of ‘tricks’”, why not attack a person’s intelligence? That always *cough* “works” (and is, sadly, another trick of liberals and the left: attack the messenger, not the message [usually because they can't attack the message]). Yes, purple, as I mentioned above, I did read Ms. Malkin’s request. Now, if you will, please point out where I have been uncivil. Again, “put up or shut up”. And, quite in an opposite flow to your assumptions (never assume: ’tis always dangerous), I admire Ted Kennedy’s elder brothers. They were far more conservative than Sen. Kennedey was. Thanks for asking though….
