All we're hearing lately is how great Ted Kennedy was, how he served as the "Lion of the Senate". Sort of reminds me of Bill Clinton being a "Lyin' King" but that's another story! :-) Frankly, the Kennedy eulogizing is already starting to make me nauseous.
I would rather we take a look at what Kennedy stood for and the results he delivered. Simply stated, Ted Kennedy went "cuckoo for cocoa puffs" over any gov't program which redistributed wealth, grew the size of the federal government and made more people dependent on it for their survival. As such, he embraced the welfare programs in LBJ's "Great Society", medicare, social security, amnesty for illegal aliens, unemployment benefits expansion, prescription drugs and any other program to make a federal government ever more gargantuan! Of course, Kennedy did oppose some government programs....the ones associated with the Department of Defense. You see, in Teddy Kennedy's mind, the world is a peaceful place loaded with all sorts of people who love the United States and would never do us harm!
Let's look at the results of Teddy Kennedy's STATIST agenda over 40 plus years, when he wasn't out drinking like a fish, driving off of bridges or making "waitress sandwiches" with the idiot Senator from CT, Chris Dodd. Over all these years of foolishly trying an unconstitutional government program for EVERY problem in America, we have more problems than we know what to do with, to wit:
1) Poverty levels that have doubled since the 1960's despite throwing more than 11 TRILLION dollars at the problem.
2) Illegitimacy that is staggering with almost 75 percent of blacks born illegitimate while the rate is about 35 percent for whites.
3) Social-IN-Security that is going bankrupt (regardless of the tapping of the trust fund that started under LBJ) and will absolutely implode on itself in about another 20 years due to the "Baby Boomers" overloading it en masse.
4) Medicare that is absolutely unfunded by 2025 and will require about 30 Trillion in funding to maintain liquidity.
5) The lifeblood of American capitalism, our manufacturing has left the country, leaving us a service economy w/ less wealth potential.
6) Illegal immigration gone wild with millions sneaking in SINCE the Kennedy amnesty deals of the 60's and the 80's
Had enough yet, ready to puke as you think about how ABSOLUTELY BANKRUPT this country is? Not just bankrupt of ideas from leftists who try the same crap over and over again but bankrupt of cash! Make things up and shoot from the hip as you go, who gives a damn about the U.S. Constitution. This is the modus operandi of the STATISTS who've been given control by ignorant voters, time and time again.
It's time for a new approach folks and I say we invoke it in Teddy Kennedy's honor. I say we do THE EXACT OPPOSITE of what Ted Kennedy stood for all those years when he was the "Lion of the U.S. Senate". We'll call it the "Reverse Kennedy Rule" and it works just like this: Whenever we feel like we should spend more on government programs, hire more government workers and borrow more debt from the People's Republic of China.......WE DON'T!!! Get it? I'm making this simple so even a rube like Ryan (an idiot who comments on my blog) can understand the "Reverse Kennedy Rule".
Basic examples of the "Reverse Kennedy Rule", henceforth referred to as the "RKR"...haha
1) More welfare spending to allow people a chance to enjoy quality time on the street corner, we say no. Move and get a job.
2) More social-In-security spending on a flawed system that assumed people would die by 62, we say no. People under a certain age will have to save for their own retirements and EXPECT a vastly reduced benefit, if any at all.
3) More medicare and medicaid spending, we say no. People have to stop sitting on the couch all day, eating Ho-Ho's and watching the Family Guy re-runs. Here's an idea, get off your keester and go ride a bike around town, take a walk. Plus, you must save for your own medical care that can be expected later in life. Awwww, I guess the SUV and camper purchase will have to wait.
4) More spending on illegitimacy because fathers hit the road, we say heck no! Force fathers to live up to their obligations or they go straight to the slammer. Encourage young people to exhibit some personal responsibility when they engage in sexual activity and not act like selfish liberal douchebags who care only about their self-gratification and not America's future.
Without a shred of doubt, the Ted Kennedy approach has failed miserably over all these years. Massive government programs have only encouraged dependency on government and irresponsible behavior. Oh sure, the leftist/statist scum which infests this country will attempt to demagogue the "RKR" as cruel, insensitive and inhumane but it's FINE TIME FOR A DIFFERENT APPROACH FOLKS!
America is bankrupt and it's only a matter of time before China says "go pound sand" when we ask for more debt purchases. When this happens, the system we know will collapse right before our very eyes and chaos will ensue. Waiting until then doesn't make much sense now does it? Well perhaps it does to those who would love chaos, as it would open the door to totalitarianism for the "good of the people", of course.
