Freaking RFK Jr.
Lee Haywood
I really don’t like the Kennedys. I consider them to be a bunch of spoiled liberal brats who have been elevated to royalty status in a country that had to fight its way out of a monarchy to become a democratic republic. It just doesn’t belong here.
My animosity over the clan from Hyannis Port started before I was born with the patriarch Joseph P. Kennedy, who reportedly used insider trading and bootlegging to amass the fortune that the family have used ever since to bankroll their political ambitions and liberal causes. He famously had an affair with Gloria Swanson. In fact, you might say he set the standard for womanizing that his sons and grandsons would emulate.
His oldest son, Joseph P. Kennedy Jr., was killed in the war. Which leads me to JFK.
JFK (Jack), as we now know, followed in his father’s footsteps. His most famous conquest was Marylin Monroe. In a military failure that one could say was almost Biden like, the infamous Bay of Pigs invasion, he abandoned CIA backed revolutionaries that were attempting to unseat Castro. He ended up paying millions to get the ones that were still alive released from prison. The CIA had Jack assassinated on my third birthday. To give credit, by today’s standards he would be considered a Republican. He also did OK on The Cuban Missile Crisis.
RFK Jr’s father also had the pleasure of Ms. Monroe’s company, even more so than Jack. In fact he went to her house on the night of her death. I believe Norma Jean would have lived a much longer life if she had not become entangled with these spoiled miscreants. Oh well.
Then there is my favorite, Edward Moore, fondly referred to as Ted. He was elected to the Senate in 1962 and died of brain cancer in office in 2009. I believe if he could have figured out a way to remain a Senator, even in death, he would still be there. He is most famous for manslaughtering Mary Jo Kopechne by driving her off the Chappaquiddick Bridge and not reporting it to the authorities until the next morning, after he had slept it off. Could you get away with that? He is also responsible for dragging his son and nephew out for a night of drinking at a Palm Beach bar. His nephew William was accused of rape later that night but was ultimately acquitted. Of course he was.
They lost the best one they had when JFK Jr. died in 1999. John-John was probably the most normal of the clan in that he had a real job as co-founder of George magazine. He also carried a lot of his mother Jacqueline’s attributes (bless her heart). He piloted a plane straight into the Atlantic, taking out himself, his wife Carolyn and her sister Lauren. The crash was blamed on pilot inexperience. Classic Kennedy arrogance. I’ll leave it at that.
Along comes Ambassador Caroline Kennedy. Neil Diamond wrote a song about her. You might have heard it. Liberal, liberal, liberal. She wrote a letter to the Senate, detailing why they should not confirm her cousin RFK Jr. It is quite extraordinary and If you have not read it, you need to. I have included it below.
Anyway, here we have RFK, Jr. I’m not going to go into all his non qualifications. After some limited research, I agree with some of his positions on the HHS and the health of our nation’s citizens. He is spot on about the response to the Covid Pandemic and the vaccines. But he is also a committed liberal, bordering on socialist and you need to keep reminding yourself that he is and will always be a Kennedy. Spoiled rotten to the core. If Trump wants to repay him for his endorsement in the election, so be it. I’ll go along.
I’m running long, so in closing I would only say that the enemy of my enemy is my friend. If he can draw out the kind of irrational animosity from his fellow liberals he can’t be all bad and I am all in for him being our new Director of Health and Human services. I hope he makes Bernie Sander’s head explode.
