Are we done worshipping the Kennedys yet

[cwo_ghwebb]

FTA: Americans fought a revolution to free themselves from ruling families. Thomas Paine wrote that "we cannot conceive a more ridiculous figure of government than hereditary succession, in all its cases, presents."

Hello vrai
Don't understand why people associate these folks with some imagined state called Camelot, as if it was some aristotlean idea of utopia. I suppose that is why tales of atlantis are still popular.
I don't give much for an endorsement from these self coronated folk . I particularly am not enamored of them. My dad worked for his campaign back in 60(JFK) and was looking for another in Bobby, but if you really studied them, these two were rather unscrupulous in their behavior also) Teddy is a joke and Caroline should just butt out. I tink it is disingenious of her to describe a shuckster as a president like her father. This is imposing a veneer of ignorance on youth that is highly impressionable and lacking in knowledge of the past. Maybe that is what they are counting on.

CW,
Unfortunately we Americans have succumbed to the lazy bug and look to imagined saviors to lead us out of the wilderness, The problems, as I see it ,is in our mirrors as we rise each day. We don't vote when we should and we don't keep tabs enough on those we elect to represent us.
Sure they want our votes every 4 years, because it gives them access to bloated expense accounts funded by lobbyists who raid our public coffers at will, a health program that shames what we give to our veterans and others that have faithfully paid into the "system", and generally "reports"back to us whenever they feel like it.
The Kennedys are no better and should be relegated back to a footnote.

I have always been amazed by the Kennedy ambience.

Trust fund kids who believe the Government should give everyone all the entitlements they have without the old mans booze backed finances. Socialist's who havent worked a day giving out Government doles to others who havent worked a day.
People who have never had to look to the next dollar, who have never had to decide which bill gets paid this month and which has to be held over till next, yet they know what we need and expect the Government to buy it for us.

They dont work they involve themselves in politics because they want the perks and want their asses kissed. They play the part of great Philanthropists ,only with Government money, never their own. They show up for photo-ops at the Special Olympics kiss some handicapped kid then dissappear, leaving the real peoploe who care to run the show.

Shanty Irish, rich from criminal enterprises, who greatly impress the idiots in Massachusetts, and the press.
