When it comes to politics there aren't very many people that I disagree with more than Ted Kennedy. However, sometimes politics isn't the most important issue. One of those times would be when someone is in a life threatening situation. On Tuesday Ted Kennedy was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor, a more than likely fatal diagnoses. I have seen some people on the internet taking their time to set aside politics to offer their condolences to Ted and his family, I would like to join them. To those taking the lesser route and saying hurtful and heartless things you have disgusted me, whether or not you care is not my concern.
It is important for us to listen to the teachings of Christ if we are to call ourselves Christians. For those that don't go by theses rules, the morals should still apply. We are called to love, not just those that love us back but those we would consider our enemy. I am appalled at how some out there are inconsiderate enough to take this moment to strike down Ted Kennedy, do they have no heart? I mean, come on, what if it were you in his situation? It seems to me that some people cannot seperate politics from humanity. For that they should be ashamed.
I’d love to be a bigger man and join them, but I can’t. I don’t feel any sympathy for him. Certainly, I’m not glad that he’s been stricken so. The news doesn’t make me happy but neither does it make me sad. - The Sundries Shack.
Alright, so that's probably not the kindest headline I could've come up with. What can I say? I spare no expense for the Swimmer, who has just been identified as diagnosed with (there goes that knee-jerk reactionary-ism again) a malignant brain tumor. - Snapped Shot.

You heard me. Good. Frankly, I'm tired of the hypocrisy and I won't be one of the hypocrites. Ted Kennedy, aside from the fact that he's indirectly responsible for an untold number of travesties committed against democracy, he is directly responsible for the death of Mary Jo Kopechne, something for which he's never been held accountable.
So, I'll say it again. Good. I'm glad to know that Ted Kennedy is suffering right now. Kopechne would be 68 this summer, just a year older than my father. Kennedy has denied this woman a lifetime while he continued to skate through his life of wealthy entitlement.
It is an absolute truth when I say the following:
America would be a better place without Ted Kennedy in it and at least one innocent woman would still be alive.
Hurry up, Ted! Don't let coffin hit your butt on the way out!! - The Whole Bird.
These hate filled rants should not be part of any conservative conversation. Remember the reaction towards the death of Jerry Falwell? Was that acceptable? No, and neither is this situation. You really have to look in the mirror and ask yourself, "is there a spec in my eye? Can I cast the first stone?" I imagine you will lie to yourself if you are someone that agrees with these people's remarks. Not everyone has been heartless, here are some bloggers with compassion towards another human being and not drinking bad Kool-Aid.
