I should have put "Memorial...Rhod is correct. I should have put "Memorial" in quotation marks. It was an abomination, but really, you must understand that the Wellstone Shindig was a church service for the post-modern Left. They see "meaning" in advancing control of the State over that Western civilization has traditionally left to private institutions. Wellstone Festival was the equivalent of a wild faith healing service to them. <br /><br />Scunnert, yes, of course, life is bigger than transnational corporations, some of which (Big Pharma) are funding the attempted (in progress) heist of 1/6 of the American economy. Big institutions tend to behave like, well, big institutions. They lose sight of "small" things, like people, flags, traditions, and employees who worked their entire lives for a company. <br /><br />And the point here is certainly not that the Kennedy family will read this blog, but others might. The sentiments communicated here are true. <br /><br />LL, I think your comments are right on. Nickie, great post ... Ha! I should have figured you would put the car-in-the-water shot. But it fits there. Nice work. <br /><br />And ... you are so right. We call the Left on this stuff when they go Wellstone. We should not put up with this. I promise you that Kennedy doesn't care about the prospects of healthcare "reform" now. The living are left to fight this fight.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6921935853428237245.post-18090173908338563412009-08-26T11:57:00.329-04:002009-08-26T11:57:00.329-04:00Condolences to the family.Condolences to the family.Opus #6https://www.blogger.com/profile/02063785617333740178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6921935853428237245.post-78288212699652180012009-08-26T11:25:36.417-04:002009-08-26T11:25:36.417-04:00There will be no Wellstone II if people are willin...There will be no Wellstone II if people are willing to speak the truth, out loud, to the legions of media junkies craving an historically important experience.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6921935853428237245.post-65700889597511291702009-08-26T10:42:51.895-04:002009-08-26T10:42:51.895-04:00Ted was a weak man. The truth is that we don't...Ted was a weak man. The truth is that we don't all grow up to be the people we once hoped we would be.<br /><br />He was the sort of man who would save himself and allow a lovely lady to drown. He was a man whose politics was mired in Socialist Utopianism. He drowned himself in alcohol in an attempt to distance himself from the small, weak man he knew himself to be.<br /><br />The family always tried to distance itself from its fortune, made as smugglers during Prohibition, and were never quite able to do that.<br /><br />Nickie is correct that it's appropriate to be gracious to the dead in the way we hope others will be gracious to us when we die. <br /><br />That doesn't mean we want to "be like Ted Kennedy" - the most inadequate of the brothers and the one who lived - until now. Neither does it mean that we want to ape his political absurdities.<br /><br />I'm sure there will be a gawdy memorial to Ted somewhere and that pigeons will drop on it. <br /><br />As with us all, sic transit gloria mundi.LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05538854359365988863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6921935853428237245.post-61887041912904326182009-08-26T10:38:05.207-04:002009-08-26T10:38:05.207-04:00http://mariatweety.blogspot.com
