Obama is apparantly 'heartbroken' at the death of Edward Kennedy. Gordon Brown said 'Kennedy would be mourned in 'every continent'. Tony Blair, who worked closely with Senator Kennedy during the Northern Ireland peace talks, said he was 'a figure who inspired admiration, respect and devotion not just in America, but around the world'.
And so the schmaltzy tributes roll in like a syrup tsunami. There are some who will not have any shred of regret at the passing of this 'supposedly' great man;
the relatives of those killed by the IRA in Northern Ireland during his days of supporting the nationalist cause for instance.Now before any
terrorist sympathising Americans get hot under the collar about this just remember this:
Northern Ireland was not part of a British Empire and British troops were not an occupying army. Northern Ireland was and is just as much part of the United Kingdom as England, Wales and Scotland. Yes, the originally Scottish protestants occupied Northen Ireland - or the six provinces - some hundreds of years ago, land they presumably took from the native Irish just as the American settlers took land from the Native Americans.
As I said, the majority population were protestants, who under 'normal'
democratic circumstances would have the right to retain their way of life and not become a
minority in an alien Catholic Ireland. If you still don't get it think of Kosovo or say a US state with a minority Muslim population starting a terror Jihad against the majority in order join the worldwide calipate. Got it now?
They say you shouldn't speak ill of the dead but the
Daily Mail thinks otherwise:
Sometimes it is right to speak ill of the dead. The truth matters, even when it is deeply unsavoury. The truth about Ted Kennedy is certainly unsavoury.
Not that you'd know it from yesterday's tributes, dominated by sycophantic humbug.Gordon Brown was 'proud to have counted him as a friend and proud that the United Kingdom recognised his service earlier this year with the award of an honorary knighthood'.
Proud? He should be ashamed. Kennedy was a formidable and Machiavellian political operator in the U.S., but he was no friend of Britain. In fact, he was one of our most committed and unrelenting enemies on Capitol Hill. In his anti-British sentiments, he took after his father, Joseph P. Kennedy, who was unable to hide his bigoted views during a shameful spell as U.S. ambassador to Great Britain. Ted did his father proud. As a politician dependent on Irish-American votes, this master of empty rhetoric had no scruples about spreading the bitter message of Irish republicanism, especially if there was an election at stake.Gordon Brown would not be ashamed he would be proud because he and his Marxist cronies are busy dismantling our society in preparation for the Islamic takeover and so an enemy of Britain is a friend of Gordon's seemingly. Why else would he make sleazy Edward Kennedy an honourary knight? Must be another reason for abolishing the honours system.Talking about sleazy the Daily Mail really put the boot in:
He reeked of drink by nine in the morning and could be relied on to be bawling drunk at four in the afternoon. In Washington's top La Brasserie restaurant, he once threw a waitress over a table in a private room and tried to have sex with her. Read more.So as I said, not a shred of regret from Yours Truly, the Daily Mail, and many more people. Oh, and just in case someone wants to remind me; yes, he did have 'some' involvement in the peace talks but that does not counterbalance his unbridled support for the republican cause earlier.
