No Great American Here

By

As soon as Ted Kennedy passed away, the super liberal mainstream media in America promptly began the canonization of him as a “great American.” The media completely ignored the reasons why he is not a “great American.” The real and true facts prove that. What are the real and true facts? Here they are.

Some of the blame goes to Ted’s father. He was always saving Ted’s bacon when Ted got into trouble during his going years. Ted’s father generously volunteered his influence, which hindered Ted’s character development very greatly.

After high school Ted entered Harvard University. There, Ted was a cheater. He was expelled from Harvard twice. Once was for cheating on a test. The second time was for paying a classmate to cheat for him. While expelled he joined the U.S. Army. His father arranged preferential treatment for him, and he never rose above private during his two year of service.

After his two years in the Army he returned to Harvard and law school at the University of Virginia. While a student at the U. of V., he was cited four times for wreck less driving. But his Virginia driver’s license, was never revoked and coincidently, he passed the bar exam there in 1959. Was his father helpful again? In 1954 Ted was seriously injured in a plane crash. While in the hospital at the time his tests showed he was legally drunk, at the time he was admitted. That remained a state a secret until 1980’s. At the time of Ted’s death the media did not mention any of this.

On July, 19, 1969, Kennedy left a party to chauffeur Mary Jo Kopechne, and that led to her death. Kennedy may have partied too much, and that could be the reason he waited until the next morning to call the police. When the accident happened, Kennedy swam to shore leaving Mary Jo in the submerged car. She died a horrible death as Kennedy handled the situation very poorly. Later Kennedy insured the fact that any inquiry would be contained, and it was, leading to only a suspended sentence of two months.

As a senator he was not very outstanding at all. He was widely held in Washington as the “standard-bearer” for liberalism. He was also know around Washington as one who drank to excess, who was loud, who was boisterous, and who was disrespectful to women.

Now you know the real Ted Kennedy, and how he was shielded from the general public by the super liberal mainstream media. They did and outstanding shielding job the media shielded a super liberal senator and an ordinary person because of his famous name and influence. The real Kennedy is not worthy of adulation, or idolization, or canonization. Most parents would not want their sons to be like Ted Kennedy. We are thankful for that, as he really does not qualify as a “great American”. Ted Kennedy was far and away from that.
