Things that make you go WTF?

So, the wave of grief over the passing of Sen. Ted Kennedy has washed over the country and while I attempted to speak respectfully yesterday, I feel that the unabashed glossing over of the partisan and, in at least one glaring incident, near traitorous behavior of this man should be addressed.

Despite the fact that the man was known to have some pretty severe character flaws, was involved in an accident following which he left a woman behind to die to cover his own ass, his decidedly uncivil behavior on the Senate floor during at least one confirmation hearing and his behind the back attempt to undermine a sitting president, the press and the left of this country has been behaving as if Sen. Kennedy were akin to a saint.

To hear tell, this senator was never uncivil. This is patently false. Despite the whining and crying over how mean Republicans were to Supreme Court nominee Sotomayor, Kennedy's comments about Bush 41 Supreme Court nominee Bork will live in infamy as some of the most uncivil, false attacks on a nominee ever made. Kennedy said Bork would preside over a country where: "women would be forced into back-alley abortions, blacks would sit at segregated lunch counters, rogue police could break down citizens' doors in midnight raids, schoolchildren could not be taught about evolution, writers and artists would be censored at the whim of government, and the doors of the federal courts would be shut on the fingers of millions of citizens for whom the judiciary is often the only protector of the individual rights that are the heart of our democracy."

Does that sound "civil" to you? It sure as hell doesn't to me. But then I guess that sort of talk is something only liberals and democrats are allowed to put forth. Kind of like the eight years we spent with lynched Bush 43 effigies, signs about killing a sitting president, etc., that were just fine when it was liberals saying it. Yet today, you can't even disagree with BO Boy and hig Gang of Thugs without being called racist, Nazi, etc. Weird, huh?

But even this pales in comparison to Kennedy's attempts to undermine the presidency of Ronald Reagan.

Rush Limbaugh is set to do a big show on this issue, so I'm sure people will finally hear a little bit more about it than I can produce here. But suffice it to say, when the KGB files were opened after the USSR dissolved, evidence was discovered that Sen. Kennedy, through a friend who was visiting the Soviet Union, contacted the Andropov government to offer his help in undermining the Reagan administration.

The text is available in a book by Paul Kengor called The Crusader - Ronald Reagan and the Fall of Communism. But the meaning is very clear. Kennedy didn't agree with Reagan's actions and felt that it would be better to go behind the president's back and try to work with a foreign government rather than agree to disagree and attempt to fix things via legal channels back home.

Sound familiar? It should. BO Boy did much the same thing during what I call his "Legitimizing a Man Without a Lick of World Experience" tour before the 2008 election. While he visited Iraq in attempt to look presidential, BO Boy is alleged to have met with Iraqi leaders and asked them NOT to deal with the Bush administration regarding troop withdrawal. What makes this even more disgusting is that BO Boy hadn't even been ELECTED yet, and he was going behind the sitting president's back in an attempt to thwart U.S. negotiations.

Where I come from, boys and girls, this is not only disrespectful and wrong, it's treasonous behavior which should have been cause for the man to lose the election. Yet he won and now sits in the White House shoving everything he can think of to further his own power down American throats.

To add insult to injury, now we've got the left using the death of, let's face it, a man who did nothing but benefit from his family's wealth and standing, to shove this healthcare crap in our faces and down our collective throats. While Sen. Kennedy used his money to get himself the best healthcare he could afford, bypassing a system he says would be great for the rest of us, the left is making hay out of the situation, claiming the man's death shows just how bad the current system is. It makes no sense! Under the new plan, Kennedy would have been pushing up daisies last year when he was diagnosed. Instead, he used the current system to give himself several more months of life.

The hypocrisy of the left is truly mind boggling. Please, America. Wake the hell UP! Time is short, but the years it will take to fix the mess they're pushing us into will be loooooong. Stop them now.
