Caroline Kennedy says Irish must push for Ted Kennedy's dream

Rose should have left the future abortionist on somebody's doorstep.

"Let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking his blessing and his help, but knowing that here on earth God's work must truly be our own." These are some of the words from what many belive to be John F Kennedys greatest speech. I hope the present Kennedys don't ignore these powerfur words by supporting a fraudalent named healthbill which seeks to decide whether old people should get healthcare based on cost and not medial need. And supporting federal funding of abortion is doing Satan's work. 70 million Americans have been killed by abortion since 1972. If you support such evil and you are an American then you cannot honestly claim you love your country like John F. Kennedy did.

Why do we never hear the term 'English American', 'Welsh American' or 'Scottish American'?

JFK, by todays standards would be considered a Republican conservative.

Her Uncle Teddy, her Uncle Bobby and her own father would have been so proud of her in her efforts to keep the spirit alive! I'll always remember the wonderful, uplifting speeches that her uncle gave especialy at the funerals of his brothers. One memorable quote that Senator Edward Kennedy gave at the 1980 Democratic National Convention - "The work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives and the dreams shall never die"- comes to mind. He truly was a remarkable person that will be truly missed especially for his sense of hope for the future!

Irish - American His Parents was born in Ireland and move to America. Just like my Grandperants did my father was the first Irish - American born in America. We Irish or Italian don't forget where are Mother and Father or grandperants came from. We are proud of that and we are proud of being part Irish and od cause we are very proud of being born in America. Everyone mother or father grandperants came from somewhere we all need to be proud of that.

Buffalobrave: "polemic against the Irish"? Lol....that's some victim mentality you have there my friend. I'm just confused about Sir Ted's nationality. I thought he was an American. Perhaps you can explain?

Realist; your polemic against the Irish urges me to ask where your ancestors came from. Maybe you should consider going back there, and give us all a break.

This "Irish" thing makes me laugh. Tell us, what passport did Ted Kennedy hold? Also, Ted showed a remarkable grasp of the Northern Ireland situation when in 1971 he declared that the majority million British Protestants who had been living there for generations since 1603 "should be given a decent opportunity to go back to Britain". Given that the Kennedys only arrived in the USA in the 1840s and using the same 'logic' perhaps they should be given a decent opportunity to go back to Ireland? They are "Irish" after all....lol.

Sorry, her definition of "Irish" is "a liberal member of the democratic party who always votes for a Kennedy." Not knocking the tribute to her father but puh-leese, will the Irish in America ever be free from this bogus political litmus test? And the ILLEGAL alien angle is repugnant.

Yep... They aint making them anymore.

This was a wonderful event - and a great tribute to Ted Kennedy and the Irish.
