Kennedy Blarney

The most dysfunctional family in the United States continues to garner media coverage.  How dysfunctional you may ask?  Psychology Today put together a list of the top seven Kennedy sex scandals.  Go read them, it is shocking.  Then there was Ted Kennedy trying to collaborate with the USSR to destroy Ronald Reagan. But old Ted can justly claim he was just following in the family tradition, his father Joesph Kennedy Sr was a real piece of work in his rampant hatred of the Jews and love of German National Socialism.  Kennedy, after fleeing London as the Blitz petered out, was sacked by Roosevelt and replaced as Ambassador to the Court of St. James by John Winant.

That the Kennedy family continues to garner media coverage and thought to be representative of America can only be ascribed to the pushing of a false narrative.  It is a bundled package of smaller lies that hide behind the tragic assassination of John F. Kennedy in Dallas, TX in 1963.  To point out all the failings and outright crimes of the Kennedy family is to endure the ceaseless tirade of being unfair to the slain President.  As in do you have no decency?  History cares not for decency when it records a leader's achievements and failures, Kennedy's greatest failure at the Bay of Pigs lead directly to the Cuban Missile Crisis because the USSR read Kennedy as weak after that failed invasion.  That is why the world almost vanished under multiple mushroom clouds.  Daley Plaza can't cover that up.

So where am I going with this recitation of the Kennedy family crimes?  Just the latest lambasting from the Kennedy Holier Than Thou pulpit.  Robert Kennedy Jr, being a Kennedy, is no stranger to the spotlight.  Oddly three days after filing divorce papers on his second wife, she was arrested on a DUI.  He campaigned for Rep. Dennis Kucinich in that man's losing primary run, Kucinich lost to fellow Democrat Mary Kaptur and he was not graceful in his concession speech.  Kennedy has also harangued about the danger of mercury in vaccines causing Autism.  Notice how many corrections are at the end of the article, including a gross inflation of a percentage.  For a less strident discussion, the FDA has a good precis including an incident in Australia in 1928 that gave rise to requiring a preservative in vaccines, out of 21 inoculated 12 died.

Now that I have established Robert Kennedy Jr's questionable track record in the public and private square that shows he lives in a large glass house, here is his latest cheap shot of record.  Because Sen. Infoe is a skeptic and critic of man-made global warming, Robert Kennedy Tweeted a comment that would get Imus suspended and Carbonite to quit Rush.  He called Sen. Infoe a prostitute in the employ of the oil companies.  That is really discussing the heart of the matter there Robert, smear your opponent.  Did you call Joseph P. Kennedy II a dictator's prostitute when he got cheap heating oil from Hugo Chavez of Venezuela?  I bet you didn't. 

Two Tales of Cuba

Poor Elian Gonzalez, whom many Americans had last seen being carried off in the arms of an armed US agent dressed in black at the age of six, on December 6th turned 18 years old. He is still in Cuba and still a supporter of the government that caused the death of his mother. One of his first acts as an adult was to act again as a propaganda parrot for the Castro brothers repressive tyranny and to again stick it to the United States.

He called convicted spy Rene Gonzalez in the United States. Who is this Rene Gonzalez? He was one of five Cubans convicted for spying for the communist government of Cuba. How he and his compatriots got convicted is another tale of brutality perpetrated by Cuba. Rene's acts of espionage are connected to the murder of four people. Three US citizens and a permanent US resident - Armando Alejandre, Jr., Carlos Costa, Mario de la Pena, and Pablo Morales were shot down over the Florida Strait in international waters by two Cuban air force MiG-21 fighters. The crime of these four people were to go out in small airplanes and search for refugees fleeing Cuba. They would drop supplies and pamphlets. For these acts of humanity, they were executed.

The sick irony of the Cuban government in having Elian call Rene staggers my mind. Elian at the age of six was one of fourteen trying to flee across the Florida Strait from Cuba. Brothers to the Rescue, to whom these four men belonged, are dedicated to helping save such people from death or worse a return to Cuba. And now Elian has called a man who helped murder good Samaritans.

I earnestly pray that Cuba is swiftly freed from tyranny. That Elian can escape his cage and become a normal person along with the other inmates of the prison called Cuba. That the Cuban exiles in the US can finally see a vibrant Cuba emerge again from the destruction the Castro brothers and communism have visited upon their beautiful island home.
