Ted Kennedy Knighthood???

And I thought my opinion of the British leadership could not get lower....
Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
—Patrick Henry

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
— Daniel Webster

In his speech, Brown referred to the senator as "Sir Edward Kennedy" and called him a "great friend."


Somehow I doubt that Mary Jo Kopechne would consider him such a great friend.
I love waking up every morning knowing that Donald Trump is President!!

They can receive "Honorary Knighthood"

Anything with the word "Honor" should never be associated with fat Teddy (probably not any Kennedy).

Sir Theodore the Murderer.

Drunk driving accident resulting in death of some one is "Negligent Homicide" not murder.
