Lord have mercy. Am I suspicious or what? Ted’s passing might have given us a respite from the incessant health care ‘reform’ and that damn never ending coverage of O. So, am I skeptical that the Demarxists will use the death of Mary Jo Kopechne’s killer as a crutch to get this health care debacle passed? Pathetic.

The last of the Camelot era has passed. And, it brings to mind the magic of that era when all was right with the world and much like now there was this adoration for a man, a family, that was goofy and undignified for a citizen interested in separation of citizen and benign ruler. Much like today, with the silly adoration of Obama, a similar Camelot moment going bad. John and Bobby’s demise was understandably tragic and unsettling to the country’s psyche. The legacy was there for the pudgy one to maintain and take advantage of, but of course he did not. When he climbed out of that submerged car and stood upon a young girl to do so and left her to die, he forfeited his legacy and the karma that went with it. As he pondered how to cover up his dalliance with a young girl, she clutched her fingers into the seat top, seeking any air that was not forthcoming. She suffocated and as her brain cells exploded from the stress of death, Ted Kennedy was hatching a plot with associates to cover up the accident. He then forfeited his legacy and any sympathy now. His Liberal Legacy…..hmmm. Michael Vick gets more heat over killing pit bulls then ol’ Ted received over Mary Jo Kopechne’s death. Curious, did Ted ever apologize for Mary Jo’s death? Well, his time of reckoning has come.
Mary Jo Kopechne
While perusing the always amazing Pundit and Pundette, I came across this wonderfully concise explanation of the machinations of the Left. I think there is much more here to be fleshed out by deeper thinkers than me. However, this brief (13 minutes of clarity) clip is a must view. It put into words that multi front attack I always sense but could never explain. The Frankfurt School and Critical Theory led to Political Correctness and our cultures brainwashing conformity, self hate and sense of guilt.

As Obvious As Ayers, Mansour, Alinsky, Franklin Davis....on & on
Antonio Gramsci, Saul Alinsky, William Ayers or whatever advocate for the insertion of ‘community marxist organizers’ into the government fabric must be in heaven with the current crop of Leftist inserted into the Obama administration. Glenn Beck has been going on about this Czarist layer for the last month.
Liberty Belle presents a Glenn Beck piece on Van Jones, an Obama’s Green Jobs Czar.
Van Jones: “…in jail, he said, “I met all these young radical people of color — I mean really radical, communists and anarchists. And it was, like, ‘This is what I need to be a part of.’” Although he already had a plane ticket, he decided to stay in San Francisco. “I spent the next ten years of my life working with a lot of those people I met in jail, trying to be a revolutionary.” In the months that followed, he let go of any lingering thoughts that he might fit in with the status quo. “I was a rowdy nationalist on April 28th, and then the verdicts came down on April 29th,” he said. “By August, I was a communist.” In 1994, the young activists formed a socialist collective, Standing Together to Organize a Revolutionary Movement, or STORM, which held study groups on the theories of Marx and Lenin and dreamed of a multiracial socialist utopia.”
With the most civility I can muster…#@*&! Obama and the Trojan Horse he rode in on. What BS.
Obama has worn out all the strawmen…..no adequate villains. So, now the surly, arrogance is more evident from Gibbs, Burton and even O. The State Run media has its work cut out to continue the propaganda efforts (health care myths and Bush bashing continued) and to put up with this arrogance and rudeness….. not a myth > $9,000,000,000,000.00 deficit….do I have enough zeros or….well no matter we have all lost track haven’t we? The intent I imagine.
$800,000,000.00 to China each week! Wonder Boy’s Credibility horrible. Trillions upon trillions in debt. Misguided, hiding bad news with CIA torture BS and Bernanke. That pesky CBO release ignored by the State Run media. All eyes on Martha’s Vineyard, what Michelle is wearing, beach scenes, children frolicking and who O was seen with. Add a dash of anti-Bushism and the weasel of off in crisis. Afghanistan…this war will expand. Off the anti war crowds demonstration radar it appears. Dare I mention my opposition to this president and yet not support the troops? What would happen in this vaccum if we retreated and let the stone age return…let Euro’s and NATO or the UN lead the way. Not sure aymore….my contempt for O cannot cloud my opinions on the military.Bottom line: Democrats are making a mess of it Bigtime, and the RINO’s have no anwers.
Obama: At It's Best, A Poor Option
“….conservatism is the negation of ideology: it is a state of mind, a type of character, a way of looking at the civil social order.”
Ok, so it is possible that the Democrats will continue to carry on as pathetic change agents (thank God!) for statism and with even more luck, boy wonder will display what a centrist poser he is and what a closet Marxist he really is…
Let’s say that comes to pass and the ever fickle undecideds hold our future yet again in their easily tweaked hands, who will the Republicans, RINO’s, Neo’s or Conservatives conjure up to handle the mess the Left has left us with: a new set of statist addictions and expectations? Will the Right go for some Moderate voice to win the election and to then oversee the botched Obama/Demwit’s mess? My money is on that. Another McCain fiasco.
Palin, Newt, Huckabee, Jindal, Cantor, Pence, Romney…………………that is it? Which of them could handle the mess and which of them could deliver Religious Light Conservatism that would resonate? Enough Big Government, Big Wall Street, Big msm, Religious Right. What will the new direction be? So far Conservatives know what is wrong and how to describe it, but not how to lead a country or articulate what is right. Our arguments are tired and have been compromised for so long by Neo’s and RINO’s that they mean nothing to the populace.

Ed Spaulding (ethicist, historian, guardian) notes:
The Nazi Eugenics Program (it started out as a healtcare plan): The Weimar Republic, which was in power from 1919 until 1933-looked to popular eugenic theories for ways to restore and improve the health and physical wellbeing of the populace. In 1932, the Weimar government drafted a plan for sterilizations of individuals with “hereditary illnesses.” Many people were living in institutions, and they were costly to the country. Sterilizing them would prevent them from having children; some might then also be able to leave the institution and live on their own. The plan involved those to be sterilized (or their guardians) in decisionmaking, requiring prior consent to the procedure.The next year, the National Socialists-Nazis-took control of Germany. On July 14, 1933, the new government issued its “Law for the Prevention of Progeny with Hereditary Diseases.” This law was far more directive than the Weimar government’s plan. People with so-called hereditary illnesses had to be sterilized, even if they objected. And the list of persons classified as hereditarily ill included those suffering from “congenital feeble-mindedness, schizophrenia, manic depression, hereditary epilepsy, Huntington’s chorea, hereditary blindness, hereditary deafness, and serious physical deformities.” People with chronic alcoholism could also be sterilized.
The law established some 200 Genetic Health Courts at which teams of lawyers and doctors would subpoena medical records in order to choose candidates for sterilization. The Court proceedings were secret, and the decisions could rarely be reversed. Throughout Germany, doctors were being trained The Nazis and Nazi doctors also were promoting the eugenics strategy of “selective breeding” as a way to rebuild the nation’s population, specifically its Aryan population.
In the six years before World War II, the Nazi doctors sterilized some 400,000 people, mostly German citizens living in asylums. Hitler’s Rassenhygiene-race hygiene-program was in full swing. “The ‘racial’ health of the German people took precedence over the health of any given individual.” (JAMA 1996 November 27; 276(20): 1657-1661). By the late 1930s, the Nazi government was using propaganda movies to persuade the public that those who were hereditarily ill and, therefore, dangerous to the health of the nation should be exterminated rather than kept alive as “neutered beings.” The targets for extermination were objectified as “beings of lesser worth,” “life unworthy of life,” “ballast existences,” “useless eaters.”
In the autumn of 1939, Hitler approved the Aktion T-4 program, which authorized specific doctors and officials to carry out mercy deaths-euthanasia-of those the state deemed unworthy of life. Again, physicians at hospitals and psychiatric institutions throughout Germany identified and recommended candidates for euthanasia. At first, in accordance with the T-4 program, the physicians murdered 5000 congenitally deformed children. The children were given lethal injections or were starved to death at six special asylums that had been remodeled to accommodate the killings. Then, the T-4 program expanded to include adults, who were taken to killing asylums as well. Death certificates were sent to families of those who were killed, falsifying the reasons for their relatives’ ’sudden deaths.’
Eventually, church groups and the general public raised objections to the T-4 program. In response, Hitler called a halt to the program. Doctors and nurses around the country continued to select and kill people and cover up their actions.
Aktion T-4— “turned out to be nothing less than a ‘pilot project’ for the extinction of millions in the concentration camps.”
Physician historian Edzard Ernst: “German physicians had been involved at all levels and stages. They had developed and accepted the pseudo-science of race hygiene. They were instrumental in developing it further into applied racism. They had evolved the know-how of mass extinction. Finally, they also performed outrageously cruel and criminal experiments under the guise of scientific inquiry. The aim of generating pure Aryans had taken precedence over the most fundamental ethical issues in medicine.” Under the Nazi medical system of routinized killing,
“…no one was safe in the presence of the carers.”
Physician historian Michael Burleigh: “Aktion 14f13 program: Through this next program, six million Jews were exterminated in the gas chambers of the concentration camps as well as millions of political prisoners, Gypsies, the handicapped, those too ill to work, Jehovah’s Witnesses, homosexuals, Afro-Europeans, and Soviet and Polish prisoners-of-war. Karl Brandt, Hitler’s personal physician, suggested that the camps would be the perfect “laboratories” for their experiments. Experimentation was pivotal for race hygiene, and killing could be rationalized and “treated not as murder but as healing-as a therapeutic imperative aimed at preserving the health of the one racial community which really mattered.”
The Over The Top Adoration Should Have Alarmed Us
Repeat these words: The eugenics-based horrors of the Holocaust were influenced by political, economic, social, and military factors. But it was the added factor of the Nazis’ total disregard for the rights and dignity of human beings that made the Holocaust possible.
