Kennedy's Portuguese water dogs will be missed on Hill"
Don't you feel sorry for Congress, and the people who work there. They are going to have to struggle along without Ted Kennedy's "Portuguese water dogs". This is on top of their struggles to force a Federal health care program on a public that recognizes the insanity of such a program (while our "elites", including Republican elites, do not recognize they have gone insane). The people recognize tow things: (1) Any kind of major heath care overhaul makes no sense at all in the face of a looming 9 TRILLION dollar national debt (2) It will NOT be an advance in health care to put health care decisions into the hands of a few Federal bureaucrats, even if everyone agrees insurance companies are not usually all that great--there at least being more than one insurance company, and the insurance companies at least being subject to private lawsuits and the regulations of 50 separate states, instead of having the almost total power "health care overhaul" proponents want to give to a few Federal bureaucrats.
"Skip,you made that headline up." That is the comment I am sure I would get from one of you brain dead people out there. You give me too much credit. That is not only a current headline on Yahoo News, but it represents the considered judgment of the people at Yahoo News (poor souls) as to one of the 7 or so most important "news" stories of this morning (being one of the 7 or so headlines featured on the Yahoo "Welcome" page that AT&T Uverse provides to me to make sure I keep up with leftist/mainstream media insanity in this country). I assure you I am not nearly talented enough to make up a headline like this, even though I flatter myself that I know more about the deficiencies of the mains tram media than almost anyone else alive.
Corrupt and useless: That is what the above quoted headline again reveals about a mainstream media with a virtual fetish about leftist leaders, the Kennedys, and entertainment figures like Michael Jackson.
By the way. Do you realize how much a "man of the people" Ted Kennedy had to be to keep PORTUGUESE WATER DOGS. Were collies, poodles, German shepherds--even Dobermans and put bulls--too pedestrian for him? What about a mongrel? I have a mongrel German shepherd mix. Am I saying I am more American than Ted Kennedy? Well, if the shoe (or glove or reference to a car crashing off of a bridge and a girl left to die while the driver consults his lawyers/aides) fits, wear it.

Ted Kennedy, Chappaquiddick Joke, Joe McGinniss ("The Last Brogher"): "Good Catholic" or "Bad Catholic"? What Does Your Answer Say About Catholics?
http://hotair.com/archives/2009/08/28/one-of-his-favorite-topics-of-humor-was-indeed-chappaquiddick-itself/
Do Time Magazine, the mainstream media, and Yahoo News REALLY want to try to sell the idea that Ted Kennedy was a "good Catholic"? If so, can there be any such thing as a "bad Carbolic", or were Martin Luther and the Reformation totally right about the Catholic Church.
Look at the above link--provided by a friend--describing an unrepentant Kennedy JOKING about Chappaquiddick.
Then read the book Joe McGinniss (he of "Fatal Vision") fame wrote exposing Ted Kennedy as the black sheep" of the Kennedy family, who had to be constantly "saved" by this family and the Kennedy empire from the consequences of his own character flaws (book title: "The Last Brother", and I dare you to read the book and still try to think of Ted Kennedy as a person of "quiet Catholic faith")..
"Good Catholic"? "Quite Catholic faith"? Real Catholics--especially good ones, but you don't have to be that good--should sue for libel.

Kennedy's Quiet Catholic Faith": Yahoo News Channels Time Magazine Leftist Propaganda of the HYPOCRITE Kind
Will Ted Kennedy go to Hell because of his position on abortion, AND because he completely failed to LIVE his religion?
The headline above is a direct quote of a present headline from that leftist propaganda organ, Yahoo News (boycott Yahoo!)--quoting Time Magazine "buzz". We already know that Time Magazine is nothing more than a conduit for leftist propaganda, as the leftist canonization of Ted Kennedy continues. Yahoo News regards this false propaganda as one of the 7 top "news" stories to put on the present Yahoo Welcome screen. So much for Yahoo News and Yahoo.
Be honest here. What is the more hones headline: the Time Magazine/Yahoo headline or my first par paragraph of this blog entry above? There is no contest. Eunice Kennedy Shriver appears to have actually lived her religion. Ted Kennedy is a hypocrite who merely used his religion for political purposes.
Yes, Ted Kennedy was one of the most fanatic pro-abortion "leaders" in the Senate. Of course he was "quiet" about his religion. How could he be "public" about a religion that he CONTRADICTED with almost his entire life. It is the official position of the Catholic Church that abortion is a MORTAL sin, and that politicians who fail to oppose abortion cannot really consider themselves Catholic. It is the official position of the Catholic Church that abortion is murder, which means that Ted Kennedy was not only directly involved in the killing of Mary Jo Kopechne, but was implicated in millions of other killings.
Did you ever here Ted Kennedy make a speech about his opposition to abortion? Yes, I know the HYPOCRITICAL "position" as well as you do: "I am personally opposed to abortion, and my religion opposes it, but I refuse to impose my personal belief, or that of my religion, upon the country.". In other words, Ted Kennedy refuses to impose his "personal belief" about MURDER on anyone else--a position that would support female infanticide (still prevalent in parts of the world) and the legalized murder of Native American "savages", or even slaves, on the grounds that they do not have a "soul" like white people.
Did you ever hear WHY Ted Kennedy's supposed Catholic religion, in the view of Ted Kennedy, regards abortion as a mortal sin (for which, apparently, you go to Hell)? Of course not. You did not hear Ted Kennedy out there urging women NOT to have abortion is. His true religion, like that of Nancy Pelosi (who this blog has exposed not to believe in religion at all) was LEFTISM.
No, abortion is not the only indication that Ted Kennedy did not believe in his religion. Catholic position on MARRIAGE? Does Ted Kennedy's life indicate he believed in it? Not outside of leftist fantasies of what religion is when your real religion is leftism. I think Kennedy is divorced from the first wife--mother of his children--who he virtually destroyed with his infidelities and lifestyle. Did he get an "annulment" in the Church? I don't care. Look it all up on Wikipedia. Time did not bother. The idea that Kennedy had "quiet Catholic faith" is absurd.
It is well known that Ted Kennedy was a womanizer and a drinker. His personal appetites were unrestrained, and he is hardly an advertisement for the Catholic religion he did NOT live. He was more of a hypocrite than Jimmy Swaggert, the TV evangelist who at least APOLOGIZED for failing to be strong enough to live his religion.
Let me state flatly: Time Magazine (hypocrites all) does not believe in religion any more than I do, or Nancy Pelosi does. That is the biggest hypocrisy of all: that Time Magazine cares whether Ted Kennedy had "faith". Time Magazine only cares about its agenda--its own leftist religion--and would be horrified at a politician who actually LIVED the Catholic religion (and said so publicly).
As I have said repeatedly in this blog, I am agnostic. Unlike Ted Kennedy and Nancy Pelosi--not to mention Time Magazine and Yahoo News--I am not a HYPOCRITE about it. In reality, their position on religion is approximately the same as mine, except that I have more respect for people who actually live and believe their own religion. However, I was raised Presbyterian.
Why do I mention that I was raised Presbyterian? It is because I was taught to distrust the Catholic Religion. What was the reason for the Reformation? I recently finished reading (listening to) Will Durant's two volume book on "The Renaissance". The Catholic religion had become corrupt, as popes, bishops and clergy failed to live their religion (often openly having mistresses). That hypocrisy basically created PProtestants, even though most of the "mainline" PProtestant churches no longer much encourage people to "live" their religion (which is why I respect "fundamentalist" Christians more, even though I can hardly be personally comfortable with a REAL belief I do not share).
I have previously commented on the criticism of the Catholic religion in Sir Walter Scott's "Kenilworth". Ted Kennedy is basically the poster child for that religion. Sir Walter Scoot describes the Catholic religion as perfect for a sinner like Ted Kennedy (the character having another name in Scott's book--being one of the villains). You can commit all of the sins you want, and live a corrupt life, and then you go to Confession and get "forgiven". That is the Protestant view of the Catholic religion with which I was raised. The purpose here is not to say that the Protestant churches are preferable to the Catholic Church, but only to say ththat the life of Ted Kennedy provides a lot of support to Sir Walter Scott and the Protestant Reformation view of Catholicism.

Mexico, A Failed Country: "Two American Teens Latest Americans To Be Killed In Ongoing Juarez (Mexico) Violence"
Yes, this is your latest update from the dangerous war zone along the Mexican border in El Paso, Texas.
The above is this morning's radio headline in El Paso. See yesterday's entry from yesterday's radio report in El Paso about the ongoing violence. The headlines are daily--like Baghdad during the worst days of the Iraq War. Juarez has to be the most dangerous current city in the world. Mexico is deteriorating quickly. You will note that this blog has been correctly calling Mexico a "failed country" for several years--while the mainstream media and politicians have ignored that fact. Proven right again. Yawn.
I have previously told you tht the violence in Juarez has not yet spread (substantially) across the Rio Grande to El Paso. there have been a few recent incidents that suggests it may be coming, but it is not yet a real problem in El Paso ("open border" crowd would make it one, as would fence sitters like the hypocritical Bill O'Reilly).
However, the violence in Juarez has affected El Paso. People in El Paso used to go to Juarez regularly. Even I did so once upon a time. Not so now. People from El Paso are getting KILLED in Juarez. Recently, a family of four was killed. As the headline stated this morning, these two teens are only the latest in a series of American deaths in Juarez.
Nor was that headline the only incident. Another headline was about a 4 year old girl being rushed to the Fabens (El Paso suburb) point of entry after having been SHOT. Another example of the superior medical care being provided in the United States. Even Juarez police are rushed to our country hospital after being shot. Exactly why our county hospital goes to that expense (extra security, you know) was never clear. Political pressure?
The situation is grim here on the front lines of the border. Looks more ominous everyday. Meanwhile, the dishonest people of the mainstream media ignore the ongoing violence, except when forced to pay attention briefly. This was after the "Anti-American, Despicable Associated Press" used to chronicle almost EVERY death in Iraq, OF IRAQIS. Yawn again. Our "journalists" have no shame, and no integrity.
P.S. Google spell check, like the mainstream media, seems to prefer to pretend that El Paso does not exist. I think I am insulted on behalf of El Paso. "Paso" is highlighted every time. Google does not even seem to recognize that the Rio Grande--across which so many illegal aliens have come--exists. It wants "Grande" spelled "grand". Meanwhile, Google--like the mainstream media--does recognize Baghdad. It also recognizes "Juarez", but--to be fair--"Juarez" is a last name as well as being the sister city of El Paso across the Rio Grande (all of that YEOLLOW that I can hardly see generated by spell check at the end of this sentence).

Did Democrats Puull Plug on Senator Kennedy? Death Panel in Operation? Mainstream Media On Board to USE Kennedy Death to Push Health Care Bill
Were Democrats behind the death of Senator Kennedy, at this time, in a desperation attempt to save the health care "overhaul" and the Presidency of Barack Obama? Is there a vast conspiracy, with the mainstream (state controlled) media on board ahead of time to USE Kennedy's death to push through a health care bill that the American people do not want? The case is just as compelling (okay, and maybe just as not compelling) as the case for President Bush having arranged 9/11 so that he could do the things he wanted to do. Hree are the plausible items:
1. Senator Kennedy, with brain cancer at his advanced age, had no "quality of life" left. See Veteran's Administration "death book", and all of those "quality of life" statements by the euthanasia advocates on the left. This stuff is not new, by the way. I argued the matter with leftists in my criminal law class at the University of Texas School of law, about 1972. The class was taught by the most liberal professor I had in law school (saying a lot, even then). Even that professor was taken aback by how far some leftist students were willing to go. I argued, correctly, that voluntary euthanasia opened the elderly up to emotional blackmail. "You are a burden to us". "you are selfish". "Your life is over". "you are making life miserable for your children and grandchildren". Sound familiar? It is the kind of stuff that leftists still want to say, and yet refuse to fess up to what they want. That liberal professor was a little appalled at how willing leftist students in that class were to subject the elderly to that kind of pressure to "pass quietly into the night". That professor gave away "Clue" games to students that got the top grade in his class. I got one, to his slight chagrin. He told e: "Well, I guess this shows thinking is not necessarily a matter of ideology." This is not really a digression, because it shows how willing leftist Democrats are to tell someone like Senator Kennedy that he needs to sacrifice what is left of his now worthless life for the good of the leftist health care cause. Did leftist Democrats do what I suggested would be done more than 35 years ago? Did they convince Senator Kennedy to voluntarily leave this live? Or did they help him along? Indications are that they did one or the other.
2. Was an ailing Senator Kennedy any use to leftist Democrats, or the mainstream media, in the health care "debate"? Of course Kennedy was of no help. He might not have even been able to vote. But what about a DEAD Senator Kennedy? Could he be turned into a MARTYR (even though dying of natural causes at the end of a long life he denied Mary Jo Kopechne)? Could the martyrdom of his brothers rub off on him? Did not LBJ and the Democrats use the assassination of JFK to push through legislation in his name, including the first Medicare bill? Democrats--cynical as any people who have ever walked the Earth, and more hypocritical--have consistently USED death to try to advance their agenda. They even turned the funeral of Paul Wellstone into a political rally.
3. What was the IMMEDIATE reaction of the mainstream media, and leftist Democrats, to the death of Senator Kennedy? Did it not appear that they had PREPARED for that reaction? Was not the IMMEDIATE reaction yesterday that we needed to pass a health care bill as a memorial to Senator Kennedy? What is the present headline on Drudge? "Health care Bill from the Grave as Dems Push KennedyCare" (or words to that effect). The mainstream media is immediately on board, falling so quickly into their state controlled mode as to indicate pre-arrangement. There just seems little doubt that everyone was preparing to take advantage of the death of Senator Kennedy. Does this not indicate pre-knowledge--that these people helped that death along? I think so.
4. Look at how Yahoo News (using the despicable AP and other state controlled media sources) alone treated the death of Kennedy, and the rest of the mainstream media seemed to be WORSE (more directly part of the conspiracy?). First, yesterday, Yahoo had the headline (crocodile tears setting up the martyr/tribute push for KennedyCare?) that the death of Kennedy was a "blow" to health care "overhaul", because he was so involved in that effort. HOGWASH. As stated above, an ill Senator Kennedy was of no value in the leftist Democrat health care effort. He was a liability. Now a DEAD Kennedy could be anticipated to be a major asset, although there is no logic to the idea that a man's death from natural causes provides any rational reason to change anyone's position on legislation with the potential (more like certainty) to ruin the country, already facing a 9 TRILLION dollar deficit (or more). Nevertheless, the orchestrated campaign already shows that leftist Democrats, and their lackeys in the mainstream media, fully anticipate using Kennedy from the grave in a way they were never going to be able to use him while he was alive (but ill). That was made clear as Yahoo News followed up on the initial salvo. The next story I saw was that "Kennedy/Obama bond was important in putting health care overhaul on fast track". This showed that, before Kennedy's body was hardly cold, the propaganda campaign was already planned. Now Yahoo News (quoting the despicable AP or some similar "news" organization) was trying to directly wrap Obama in the mantle of the dead Senator, and really in the mantle of ALL of the Kennedys (the thrust of yesterday's push being to put the mystique of JFK and all of the "tragic" Kennedys behind health care "overhaul"). Now, this morning, the Yahoo News headline story is essentially the same as Drudge, without the classic Drudge headline: to the effect that health care proponents are hoping to use Kennedy support of health care "overhaul" as a weapon to get a bill passed. Can there be much doubt that these people would have helped Kennedy (no "quality of life", remember) pass along, if necessary?
5. Look at all of the funeral activities planned!!!! An Obama speech on Saturday. Two days lying in "state". Now you can say that we have lost all perspective, and that this is the way we do things now for any major figure--Michael Jackson, for God's sake. I would not argue with that. But is it not clear that health care proponents plan to USE these funeral events to push their cause? I think it is clear. These people do not believe in democracy. They do not want to "debate" health care "reform" on the merits. They want to PUSH it through. Would they stop short of murder, or assisted suicide, if they thought it would help them? I don't think so. They know that Kennedy's death has nothing to do with the merits of any health care bill. They don't care. The idea that these people want a REASONED "debate" is the biggest "myth" of all They don't. It is entirely possible that people like that would engage in euthanasia, or assisted suicide (after appropriate brain washing of Kennedy).
Pretty compelling case, isn't it? No, I am not a "conspiracy theorist" (unlike, for example, Keith Olbermann, the hypocrite, who is). I don't really believe that Kennedy was "helped along" to help push health care "overhaul" through.
However, I do believe that the mainstream media (state controlled media), and leftist Democrats, are the most cynical people on Earth, as well as the worst hypocrites who have ever walked the Earth on two legs. Those people will literally stop at nothing to get what they want, and what they want is POWER. It is not moral compunction that would keep them from "helping along" Senator Kennedy. It is practicality, but I think that is enough. I don't think they did it. I not only think, but KNOW, that they fully intend to USE the death of Senator Kennedy in every possible way to advance their own agenda. This is cynical opportunism at its most blatant. For the mainstream media, including Yahoo News, it is PROSTITUTION. These "journalists" cannot be ashamed, because they have no shame. They are no longer capable of shame. They are too far gone in corruption.
In the end, is it that much more acceptable to try to cynically use the death of a man to push a political agenda than it is to "help" that death along? You can argue the point, but this idea that it is acceptable to use a death this way is monstrous to me. I say that even though I know that maybe Senator Kennedy, leftist that he was, would have approved. He was more than that cynical himself, in the past. IN fact, he was instrumental in getting that bill passed in Massachusetts requiring a special election to fill a vacancy in the Senate, rater than let the governor appoint an interim or permanent successor. That was a cynical ploy to keep Mitt Romney from perhaps appointing a Republican. But when Senator Kennedy saw he might be dying (or that he was being pushed into dying?), he was pushing to have the law HE ADVOCATED changed to let the Democratic governor appoint an interim successor. The Democrats in Massachusetts are now pushing this option, in the name of the health care bill, in one of the most CYNICAL acts of naked power politics you will ever see. And the mainstream media is acting like this is perfectly fine. For them, it is. The mainstream media today represent, as this blog has shown, the very worst hypocrites (along with their fellow leftists) who have ever walked the Earth.
No. I can't bring myself to believe in, or advocate for political purposes, a "conspiracy theory" that Democrats and the mainstream media got together to help Senator Kennedy die. However, I have no doubt they are acting in concert to USE that death in the most cynical and opportunistic way possible--making these pretty horrible people. "In concert" does not mean an affirmative meeting of conspirators. It simply means that these people are consciously action together, including Yahoo News, to advance their joint political agenda from the grave of Senator Kennedy. SHAME, but you have no shame.
1. Senator Kennedy, with brain cancer at his advanced age, had no "quality of life" left. See Veteran's Administration "death book", and all of those "quality of life" statements by the euthanasia advocates on the left. This stuff is not new, by the way.

Now Yahoo News (quoting the despicable AP or some similar "news" organization) was trying to directly wrap Obama in the mantle of the dead Senator, and really in the mantle of ALL of the Kennedys (the thrust of yesterday's push being to put the mystique of JFK and all of the "tragic" Kennedys behind health care "overhaul"). Now, this morning, the Yahoo News headline story is essentially the same as Drudge, without the classic Drudge headline: to the effect that health care proponents are hoping to use Kennedy support of health care "overhaul" as a weapon to get a bill passed. Can there be much doubt that these people would have helped Kennedy (no "quality of life", remember) pass along, if necessary?
5. Look at all of the funeral activities planned!!!! An Obama speech on Saturday. Two days lying in "state". Now you can say that we have lost all perspective, and that this is the way we do things now for any major figure--Michael Jackson, for God's sake. I would not argue with that. But is it not clear that health care proponents plan to USE these funeral events to push their cause? I think it is clear. These people do not believe in democracy. They do not want to "debate" health care "reform" on the merits. They want to PUSH it through. Would they stop short of murder, or assisted suicide, if they thought it would help them? I don't think so. They know that Kennedy's death has nothing to do with the merits of any health care bill. They don't care. The idea that these people want a REASONED "debate" is the biggest "myth" of all They don't. It is entirely possible that people like that would engage in euthanasia, or assisted suicide (after appropriate brain washing of Kennedy).
Pretty compelling case, isn't it? No, I am not a "conspiracy theorist" (unlike, for example, Keith Olbermann, the hypocrite, who is). I don't really believe that Kennedy was "helped along" to help push health care "overhaul" through.
However, I do believe that the mainstream media (state controlled media), and leftist Democrats, are the most cynical people on Earth, as well as the worst hypocrites who have ever walked the Earth on two legs. Those people will literally stop at nothing to get what they want, and what they want is POWER. It is not moral compunction that would keep them from "helping along" Senator Kennedy. It is practicality, but I think that is enough. I don't think they did it. I not only think, but KNOW, that they fully intend to USE the death of Senator Kennedy in every possible way to advance their own agenda. This is cynical opportunism at its most blatant. For the mainstream media, including Yahoo News, it is PROSTITUTION. These "journalists" cannot be ashamed, because they have no shame. They are no longer capable of shame. They are too far gone in corruption.
In the end, is it that much more acceptable to try to cynically use the death of a man to push a political agenda than it is to "help" that death along? You can argue the point, but this idea that it is acceptable to use a death this way is monstrous to me. I say that even though I know that maybe Senator Kennedy, leftist that he was, would have approved. He was more than that cynical himself, in the past. IN fact, he was instrumental in getting that bill passed in Massachusetts requiring a special election to fill a vacancy in the Senate, rater than let the governor appoint an interim or permanent successor. That was a cynical ploy to keep Mitt Romney from perhaps appointing a Republican. But when Senator Kennedy saw he might be dying (or that he was being pushed into dying?), he was pushing to have the law HE ADVOCATED changed to let the Democratic governor appoint an interim successor. The Democrats in Massachusetts are now pushing this option, in the name of the health care bill, in one of the most CYNICAL acts of naked power politics you will ever see. And the mainstream media is acting like this is perfectly fine. For them, it is. The mainstream media today represent, as this blog has shown, the very worst hypocrites (along with their fellow leftists) who have ever walked the Earth.
No. I can't bring myself to believe in, or advocate for political purposes, a "conspiracy theory" that Democrats and the mainstream media got together to help Senator Kennedy die. However, I have no doubt they are acting in concert to USE that death in the most cynical and opportunistic way possible--making these pretty horrible people. "In concert" does not mean an affirmative meeting of conspirators. It simply means that these people are consciously action together, including Yahoo News, to advance their joint political agenda from the grave of Senator Kennedy. SHAME, but you have no shame.

Rick Patino and ESPN: An Evil Network With Evil People (Joined by the Despicable AP, the Evil Will Graves, and the Evil People at Yahoo News)
Lest you think I am exaggerating in the headline, let me assure you that I am taking no dramatic license here. I mean every word. The "news" media, including sports "journalists", are committing EVIL with regard to Rick Patino.
First, do you agree that blackmail and extortion are evil things? What about aiding and abetting blackmail and extortion, and treating a person CHARGED with blackmail and extortion as a credible person? If you believe those things, then you must believe that ESPN, the "Anti-American, Despicable Associated Press", Yahoo News, and a good portion of the media is this country are involved in evil. I can attest personally to ESPN and the despicable AP (Will Graves--who, yes, I am accusing of being an evil person).
Let us go back. Seven months or so ago Rick Pation went to the authorities (federal, I think) and alerted them to a woman trying to blackmail him, and extort money from him. That woman has now been charged with blackmail and extortion. This is not a "scandal". This is Rick Patino coming forth as a WITNESS, and complaining party--a public spirited person--to bring a blackmailer to justice. So where is the "scandal". Well, it is mainly in the minds of evil persons in the media, who are acting like extortion and blackmail are perfectly acceptable things for them to aid and encourage. For there to be any "scandal", you have to assume that it is a "sex scandal" for a basketball coach to commit adultery (which Patino has admitted). See the first entry today on Ted Kennedy and Mary Jo Kopechne, and realize that Rick Patino is being subjected to more media harassment for REPORTING A CRIME, and merely committing adultery, than Ted Kennedy suffered for KILLING A GIRL. Yes, whether leftists (most are) or not, these media people are HYPOCRITES of a magnitude beyond belief. And they are evil people who are doing their best to make sure that the next blackmailer or extortionist is successful--ESPECIALLY if the allegations of the extortionist are FALSE.
What was the extortion? Well, that is where the mostly leftist mainstream media, which includes ESPN, turns evil. Some time ago (I think years) Rick Patino had a one night stand with a woman. Again, is this a "sex scandal"? In what universe, when Ted Kennedy can be seriously considered by so many for President--with BOTH "sex scandals" AND killing a girl. How many coaches have committed adultery? I would guess more than half.
The woman, however, went to Patino and demanded a lot of money. Now at some point he gave her a little money (like $3000). That was the frist EVIL of which I became aware. The media reported this money was for an abortion . Patino says it was for a doctor. Aside from it all being speculation (and no one is more anti-abortion than I am), abortion is LEGAL in this country The breathless headline on Yahoo News, probably from the despicable AP, acted like Patino had killed a girl (this from people who FAVOR abortion--I guarantee you). Pp[s!!! I forgot. If you kill a girl, and you are Ted Kennedy, it is fine. If lyou are Rick Patino, you are treated like the criminal when you are the VICTIM. How is that for encouraging a blackmailer and extortionist, who has threatened to make a man's life a living hell (obviously knowing today's mainstream media). Wait. It gets better (or worse).
This woman asked Pation for a LOT of money toward the end of last year. She threatened, as stated, to make his life a "living hell" by accusing him of rape, and generally going public with all kinds of allegations (again, obviously confident that our mainstream media will aid and abet blackmailers and extortionists at every opportunity). She obviously thought Pation would be familiar with our mainstream media, as well. You might remember that BEFORE the mainstream media turned on prosecutor Nifong in the Duke rape case, they were perfectly willing to turn the life of the accused Duke players into a living hell based on SPECULATION and "trial by media".
Well, Patino went to the authorities. The woman made good on her threat to accuse him of rape, and who knows what else. Firt it was just an ordinary blackmail case. Private (as it should have been--at least until the trial). If you don't treat this as private, until the trial, you are definitely ENCOURAGING BLACKMAIL BASED ON FALSE ALLEGATIONS. At most, you should factually present any defense that the woman is asserting. Remember, conduct of Patino is NOT--I repeat, NOT--a defense blackmail and extortion. Did I mention that Patino was NOT even charged with a crime. The allegations of the blackmailer were deemed not to be credible by the authorities (in contrast to Nifong). Thus, there are not even any outstanding ACCUSATIONS against Patino, other than the admitted sex (really of mo, or minor, importance in comparison to the extortion charge--not worth encouraging blackmail by making any kind of big deal about it).
But, of course, the media did make a big deal about it. They acted like Pation was the ACCUSED, and subjected his family to unmerciful publicity. They harasses the University of Louisville. They did everything possible to DESTROY PATIONO'S LIFE--to make his life "pure hell". Note that this is exactly what the blackmailer wanted. . I ACCUSE. I accuse the mainstreams media, including ESPN, the despicable AP, and the rest of AID AND ENCOURAGEMENT TO BLACKMAILERS EVERYWHERE. The "allegations" of the blackmailer were taken as if they were credible allegations against Pation--including the allegation of "non-consensual" sex (media weasal word used lby evil people). The substances of the blackmailing woman's "still awaiting trial on felony charges) "interview" with the police was reported as "news". The whole thing became a "sex scandal" with lPATINO AS THE ACCUSED. You just don't get any more evil than this.
Well, Patino had enough. He was told by everybody to keep quiet until after the trial (not HIS trial, since he is not charged with anything, but HER trial). But today (Inexplicable, really, and maybe based on one of those media requests for information), the police released the video of thewoman's00tge DISCREDITED woman's) interview with the police--where she made all of those accusations against Patino. You guessed it (realizing by now how EVIL these people are). These were the SAME allegations that had already been aired was to much by the evil mainstream media--including sports "journalists". Well, the media treated the released video as NEWS (evil people that they are), and acted like it was a new development in the "sex scandal" involving Patino. It is splashed all over the media again--every allegation as if Patino is being accused of something. Patino went ballistic.
He had a "news" conference today to AGAIN label the video allegations as lies (which is not just his opinion, but the opinion of people who have charged him with no crime). He said that the MEDIA was making his life "pure hell", as the blackmailer had predicted they would. If you wanted to lay out how to encourage blackmail and extortion, you could not do any better than the mainstream media has done in this case.
Let us go to the videotape of the truly evil people at ESPN--an evil network which this blog has previously recommended you boycott, except fro live sports events--myself, I only watched this specifically to see Patino's "news" conference replayed, which I did). What was the reaction of the evil woman on ESPN? I can't make this stuff up. She put up a "timeline" purporting to show essentially the "downfall" (not her word, but the clear implication of what she said) of Patino since his "high water" mark in the NCAA basketball tournament in March. The next to last item on this "timeline" (people just don't get any more evil than this--not talking about Patino) was "Patino CLAIMS sex was consensual". Say what? Patino is not accused of anything. His "claim" was ACCEPTED by the authorities, and his blackmailer was deemed not to be a credible person. I am livid over this. It will be a cold daly in Hell before I even surf ESPN again. I amy be foreced to view live events there, but I will not pay any attention to ESPN people. It is an evil network with evil people working there.
You want to know what the last item on the "timeline" was? I am glad you asked. The last item, AFTER the item suggesting Patino only "claimed" the sex was consensual, was: "Patino admits sex with woman." Say what? That was a good trick. How did he previously "claim" the sex was consensual, without admitting sex? These are terrible people (on ESPN) . I think they are worse than the blackmailer, and Patino is not even close to being in their class (from all evidence).
Now let us go to the evil Will Graves, and the evil people at the Associated Press (given a forum by the evil people at Yahoo News). This is the despicable lead paragraph from the despicable AP story by Will Graves:
"Louisville coach Rick Pitino said Wednesday a sex scandal involving a woman accused of trying to extort millions from him has been “pure hell” for his family, fuming that newly released video of her police interview revived her “total fabrication.”
I saw the press conference. The above is an EVIL LIE. The purpose of Patino's press conference was NOT to suggest that the "sex scandal" was "pure hell". The purpose of the press conference was to ATTACK THE MEDIA for making his life a pure hell--spreading FALSE allegations of a blackmailer time and time again. Yes, Pation admitted again that he made a mistake having sex with the blackmailer, but he made clear that the consequences of the sex (bad as that was for his wife and family) were not the "pure hell" of the media fascination with spreading the discredited allegations of a blackmailer again and again. I state again that I fail to see where this is even a "sex scandal", unless you label every case of adultery (Ted Kennedy anyone?) as a "sex scandal". This is a case of blackmail and extortion. The sex is merely what gave rise to the blackmail and extortion--where Patino did the right thing and cooperated with the authorities (and evidently his university--disclosing everything there and to his wife).
The despicable AP is composed of despicable people. Will Graves is despicable. The AP headline, and the Yahoo News version of that headline, screamed that "Patino says sex scandal pure hell". I tell you. I saw the press conference. That headline is an evil lie by evil people (and I include the people at Yahoo News).
No. I did not see the "coverage" elsewhere, other than to hear Patino's description of how it seemed to be universal in the mainstream media--even breaking into Kennedy coverage for "breaking news" treatment of a blackmailer's smear of Patino. That may well mean it was on Fox News, as well as other mainstream news outlets, although I don't know that. I have said before that Fox News, especially on this type of smear of people in the media, is part of the problem and not part of the solution. I don't care who has spread this. It is evil stuff, and you should know that you have been involved in evil.
First, do you agree that blackmail and extortion are evil things? What about aiding and abetting blackmail and extortion, and treating a person CHARGED with blackmail and extortion as a credible person? If you believe those things, then you must believe that ESPN, the "Anti-American, Despicable Associated Press", Yahoo News, and a good portion of the media is this country are involved in evil.

Mexico, A Failed Country: Another Legacy of Sen. Ted Kennedy
As readers of this blog are aware, I live on the front lines of the actual/potential border war--right across the Rio Grande from Juarez, Mexico, portions of which are less than 5 miles from where I am typing this.
Well, the news reported today in El Paso was that 24 people had been discovered murdered in Juarez on Monday and Tuesday alone. This made a mockery of some reported "progress" against the drug cartel "hit men" in Mexico.
Mexico is a country out of control--a country that has failed miserably with leftist policies.
What does this have to do with Ted Kennedy? Well, he can't be blamed for the failure of Mexico. He can perhaps be blamed for trying to turn the United States into Mexico, politically. More fundamentally, he can be blamed for trying to turn this country into Mexico LITERALLY with an "open borders" policy (all the while sayng that he favored no such thing--in other words lying and deceiving in typical leftist fashion).
Do I oppose immigrants? No, I don't. My two daughters are 50% Mexican-American, since I married a 100% Mexican-American woman. However, unlike Senator Kennedy, I know that we cannot afford to have an "open border" with Mexico. We can't afford to try to have Mexico ship its problems, because it is a failed country, to us. We cannot afford to take care of Mexico's poor. We cannot afford to let Mexico's drug war spread into the United States.
Ted Kennedy did not--whatever he said--support enforcement of immigration laws. Like most leftist Democrat politicians, he saw poor illegal immigrants from Mexico as a source of endless votes for the Democratic Party--a means for the Democratic Party go get and keep power FOREVER--or at least as long as the PRI (original Mexican oligarchy) kept power.
Therefore, Ted Kennedy, over his entire career, was probably the major force in the Untied States Senate for essentially unrestricted immigration from Mexico--both legal and illegal. He was, of course, the co-sponsor of the McCain-Kennedy amnesty bill. Even President Obama has now given up on that bill for the foreseeable future.
P.S. I am perfectly aware that John McCain is very little different than Ted Kennedy on this issue. Why do you think--among other things--I refused to support John McCain against Barack Obama, despite being fully aware of the kind of President Obama was going to be? I will go further. If I lived in Arizona, I would vote AGAINST John McCain in favor of Satan himself. Now I would do my best to avoid voting for Satan, as I did in the Presidential election by voting for a third party, but I would never vote for McCain. My brother DOES live in Arizona, and there is no way he will ever vote for McCain. I encourage my brother in that, even though he does not need such encouragement.
