I've noticed that there has been no cheering, jeering, hand-clapping excitement among conservatives about the news that Ted Kennedy has a malignant brain tumor which will, most likely, eventually kill him; such as there would be among the left if, say, George Bush had a brain tumor.
This is due to the simple fact that people on the right are generally God-fearing people with simple common decency, who do not take pleasure in the suffering of others -- even their political enemies. The same cannot be said of our leftist counterparts (evidence of this is mountainous).
Nevertheless, I suspect that many on the right actually had a first reaction which was, essentially, "Oh gee. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy."
The difference may be that most on the right will recognize this thought, and make a conscious decision to be better than that.
Having said that, I write this post for one reason. I don't suggest that Ted Kennedy deserves a brain tumor simply for being an idiotic leftist.
However, what I would like everyone to remember is that what Ted Kennedy DOES deserve (and has deserved for nearly 40 years) is to DROWN. To drown locked in a car at the bottom of a lake.
