It is in their honor, that I will not talk about the absolute destruction the most liberal member of the Senate has brought to this country. Further, I will not mention my utter disgust with the notion that a career politician should be honored for devoting his entire life to "public service." The phrase, "public service," makes it sound like people in government are public stewards of the future of America. Unfortunately, career politicians too often look to protect their own electability with the notion that government can make the lives of some of it's citizens better by taking from the efforts of another.
Senator Kennedy should be honored appropriately as passing away at a time when the Federal Government is completely broken and facing bankruptcy. We should honor Senator Kennedy by making him a symbol of the failure of career politicians to adequately balance the desires of people wanting more government and people's ability to pay for it. We should hold Senator Kennedy up as a symbol of spending $2.5 trillion more than we take in.
Finally, I will hold my tongue about the idea of passing a bad health care bill to honor Senator Kennedy. It is ironic that a career politician--Senator Kennedy has been a US Senator his entire adult life--has passed away while the nation debates a health care bill that will push our country further into bankruptcy.
May Senator Kennedy rest in peace.
