Default Ted Kennedy Unpatriotic? Or worse?

I found this article interesting in view of the current feeling among leftist that Pres Bush is more of a danger to America than the Islamist terrorist. 20 years ago the left thought that Pres Reagan was mroe dangerous than the communist.

Then as now when people who supported US foreign policy challenged the leftist, the leftist cried about the unfairness of peopled questioning their 'patriotism'. I found it a form of intellectual cowardice to play the victim rather than defend you positions.

In light of this information perhaps the reaction among leftist was because they knew they were un patriotic or worse.

KGB Letter Outlines Sen. Kennedy's Overtures to Soviets, Prof Says


The antipathy that congressional Democrats have today toward President George W. Bush is reminiscent of their distrust of President Ronald Reagan during the Cold War, a political science professor says.

"We see some of the same sentiments today, in that some Democrats see the Republican president as being a threat and the true obstacle to peace, instead of seeing our enemies as the true danger," said Paul Kengor, a political science professor at Grove City College and the author of new book, The Crusader: Ronald Reagan and the Fall of Communism.

In his book, which came out this week, Kengor focuses on a KGB letter written at the height of the Cold War that shows that Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) offered to assist Soviet leaders in formulating a public relations strategy to counter President Reagan's foreign policy and to complicate his re-election efforts.

The letter, dated May 14, 1983, was sent from the head of the KGB to Yuri Andropov, who was then General Secretary of the Soviet Union's Communist Party.
The rest of the article fleshes out the overview.

What send an unpatriotic murderer back to the Senate?

Don't worry, there are patriotic, selfless heroes like Rick Santorum and Ted Stevens in the Senate to counter Kennedy's influence.

I think Ted Kennedy is a big, fat piece of crap, if you must know. I just wouldn't single him out as a bigger piece of crap than the other turds floating in the Capitol Hill cesspool.

There is certainly a lot of crap in DC on both sides of the aisle. I hope not many of them commit treasionous acts like Kennedy does, and to the best of my knowledge mot many are merderers.
