…pursue their dream in an America that is more equal and more just…

The Socialist dream of equality of results and “Social[ist] Justice”.

A Eulogy to a traitor who tried to help the Communists win the Cold War at the same time that Reagan was trying to help the USA win.

Teddy was never more than a drunken playboy who neglegently killed a young woman (while his pregnant wife was at home) and supported Socialism/Communism throughout his life, even trying to undercut President Ronald Reagan.

And of course the MSM (Marxist Socialist Media) will sing his praises.

Well, maybe.

Its Chapparidiculous.

mmm-Perhaps Lady Caroline forgot this in her Sermon By the Sea at the DNC.

While expelled, Kennedy enlisted in the Army, but mistakenly signed up for four years instead of two. His father, Joseph P. Kennedy, former U.S. Ambassador to England, pulled the necessary strings to have his enlistment shortened to two years, and to ensure that he served in Europe, not Korea, where a war was raging. Kennedy was assigned to Paris, never advanced beyond the rank of Private, and returned to Harvard upon being discharged.

Need to correct this. Edward (Ted) Kennedy enlisted in the Army in 1951 after getting kicked out of Harvard for cheating. He asked for military intelligence training but was released after a couple of week for unspecified reasons. He trained as an MP and was sent to Germany although the Korean War was raging at the time. In Europe, he found time to travel and climb the Matterhorn. At the time of his discharge in 1953, he was a Private First Class.

Elm Creek — Michelle and I were heartbroken to learn this morning of the death of our dear friend, Senator Ted Kennedy. For nearly five decades, virtually every major piece of legislation to advance the civil rights, health and economic well-being of the American people bore his name and resulted from his efforts. His ideas and ideals are stamped on scores of laws and reflected in millions of lives — in seniors who know new dignity; in families that know new opportunity; in children who know education’s promise; and in all who can pursue their dream in an America that is more equal and more just, including me. In the United States Senate, I can think of no one who engendered greater respect or affection from members of both sides of the aisle. His seriousness of purpose was perpetually matched by humility, warmth and good cheer. He battled passionately on the Senate floor for the causes that he held dear, and yet still maintained warm friendships across party lines. And that’s one reason he became not only one of the greatest senators of our time, but one of the most accomplished Americans ever to serve our democracy. I personally valued his wise counsel in the Senate, where, regardless of the swirl of events, he always had time for a new colleague. I cherished his confidence and momentous support in my race for the Presidency. And even as he waged a valiant struggle with a mortal illness, I’ve benefited as President from his encouragement and wisdom. His fight gave us the opportunity we were denied when his brothers John and Robert were taken from us: the blessing of time to say thank you and goodbye. The outpouring of love, gratitude and fond memories to which we’ve all borne witness is a testament to the way this singular figure in American history touched so many lives. For America, he was a defender of a dream. For his family, he was a guardian. Our hearts and prayers go out to them today — to his wonderful wife, Vicki, his children Ted Jr., Patrick and Kara, his grandchildren and his extended family. Today, our country mourns. We say goodbye to a friend and a true leader who challenged us all to live out our noblest values. And we give thanks for his memory, which inspires us still. Sincerely, President Barack Obama

Sorry, Mister President, but ol’ Ted wasn’t one of my heros. I prefer men of honor.
