Ted the Red Energizes Freak Show
By JBC | August 26, 2008
Ted Kennedy, the water boy for Left-Wing America, managed to waddle into Denver to address a motley and scary congregation. Some say it was a tearful emotional experience, and I have no doubt that the heartstrings of all good welfare-state architects were taxed to the limit. And no doubt his words left America with the feeling they would be taxed to the limit. Let’s dissect what Red Ted said.
“I have come here tonight to stand with you to change America, to restore its future, to rise to our best ideals, and to elect Barack Obama president of the United States.”
–to change America means what? This is a fight which was enjoined when Obama used that phrase for the 100th time, and it became viral. The only change I have heard proposed is one of an even larger government, taking over even more sectors of our society. Additionally, I suppose a part of their change is the ceding of national authority over sticky matters like our foreign policy to international bodies, to free our government workers to devise even more diabolical domestic control mechanisms. What else can change mean? It certainly doesn’t mean less government, as the Democrats haven’t stood for that since Grover Cleveland. But, to “restore its future”, what exactly does that mean? When was the future erased? It will happen, for better or worse. I can only surmise that he means a continuation into the future of a shift toward ever more government control of our lives. Okay, let’s continue.
“But we have never lost our belief that we are all called to a better country and a newer world.”
–A better country…I guess that means a more socialist country? Better in what respect? Less guns and less Bibles and less disposable income? I think it is pretty clear. Now, when he says a “newer world”, I think the medication is talking. That just doesn’t make sense.
“And this is the cause of my life — new hope that we will break the old gridlock and guarantee that every American — north, south, east, west, young, old — will have decent, quality health care as a fundamental right and not a privilege.We can meet these challenges with Barack Obama. Yes, we can, and finally, yes, we will.” (Thunderous applause from the Church of the Weird in Denver)
–Now the gravy is on the biscuit. Health care as a fundamental R I G H T. My friends, that is an unencoded demand for national healthcare. A call to break the gridlock, meaning they will break the will of those that think socialism is truly evil and will destroy all to which it is applied, and finally succumb to the global sweep of governmental control of every aspect of our lives, which was not halted by the fall of the Iron Curtain.
“Barack Obama will close the book on the old politics of race and gender and group against group and straight against gay.”
–Actually, he will continue the old politics of race and gender by continuing affirmative action programs. But, he will open the book on the new politics of class warfare and moral relativism against traditional values.
And Barack Obama will be a commander in chief who understands that young Americans in uniform must never be committed to a mistake, but always for a mission worthy of their bravery.
–Meaning that he will intervene only in foreign countries and start only foreign wars on which Democrats can agree, those similar to Kosovo, Bosnia, Haiti, Somalia, Vietnam, and Korea…those, as we know, were CERTAINLY not mistakes.
“We are told that Barack Obama believes too much in an America of high principle and bold endeavor, but when John Kennedy called of going to the moon, he didn’t say it’s too far to get there. We shouldn’t even try.”
–Actually, Ted, what we said was we can’t elect you, because YOU are too far out there, and we shouldn’t even try to sober you up.
And this November the torch will be passed again to a new generation of Americans, so with Barack Obama and for you and for me, our country will be committed to his cause. The work begins anew. The hope rises again. And the dream lives on.
–This sounds familiar, compare: “But isn’t it self-evident that we need to get new blood and new strength into the CC CPSU? We are getting older and shall sooner or later die, but we must think into whose hands we shall give this torch of our great undertaking, who will carry it onward and reach the goal of communism? For this we need younger people with more energy, dedicated comrades and political leaders”. - Joseph Stalin’s last speech, 1952
Uncle Ted and Uncle Joe passing the torches and tugging at hearts. Stalin begat Khrushchev, who proclaimed to Ted’s older brother, “we will bury you”. Ironically, it looks more likely that our final spades of earth will be administered by one of Kennedy’s own.
