Ted Kennedy killed a girl!

YOU are to blame.

Well Ted Kennedy is Dead. At least that's what yahoo said when I logged in this morning. That and the other 600 news media outlets that I have come across today. As in most cases I feel sorry for his family. I'm sure he has a wife, children and grandchildren who will miss him. For that I offer my sincerest condolences. They deserve time to grieve in private.

Unfortunately, this is yet another example of how YOU are to blame for the way America is today.

What? My fault? What does Ted Kennedy dying have to do with America and how is it my fault?

Ted Kennedy was a man who drove drunk, drove off a bridge and killed a young woman. Not one single headline mentioned that. "Ted is great." "A man for the ages", "The most important Kennedy". Are all quotes from major media sources across the USA. Not one, talked about how he killed a young girl and used his political power to sweep it under the carpet. The people that I find the most appalling in this situation are the people of Massachusetts. They literally talk about him as if he wrote the new testament single handedly. I remember years ago when the Clarence Thomas trial was on TV spending the evening with my friend and his parents and grandparents. I was nearly kicked out of the house for saying anything bad about Ted. Those people should be ashamed of themselves.

In typical American fashion we walk through life with Blinders on. We hear what we want to hear and see what we want to see. It's easier to see this guy as a good guy that it is to hold ourselves accountable for letting him sit in office for the last four decades.

So who is to blame? While I could easily blame the biased media in this country for this absurd behavior I won't. It's your fault America! It's your fault for laying back and letting a few idiotic liberals tell the world how you think.

Just as you sat back and watched the media tell the world what a great person Michael Jackson was. A man who dyed his skin and changed his nose to get away from his own race. A grown man who spent all his time with Children. A man who was involved in numerous child molestation cases. We let the media and our culture accept this as being okay. We let it be okay for our media to represent our feelings on such issues.

Michael Vick was recently signed by the Philadelphia Eagles. Living in Philly I have heard and seen it all. There were more protests about him getting a job than any person I have ever seen in professional sports. Ray Lewis was involved in a murder of a human. Plaxico Burress carried a fire arm and shot himself. Ray Carruth murdered his fiancé. Not hardly a word was said about them. Somehow, people like their dogs more than people. We cheer on our athletes because their "our" athletes.

In typical fashion, the national media portrayed Philadelphia as a city of people who were split down the middle on Vick's arrival. In reality, if you were here, you would know that 95% of us didn’t' understand the move or agree with it.

It's your fault. It's your fault that it’s okay for the media to portray only sensational stories that will sell advertising. It’s your fault that it’s okay that we look like the dumbest nation on earth. It's your fault that you sit back and watch your opinions be stated for you.

The next time you want to complain about this country, don't. It's your fault. It’s your fault that it’s okay to be a murderer. It's your fault that people like Martha Stewart get special treatment, you tolerate it. It's your fault that our legal system is the way that it is. You’ve decided that there’s nothing you can do. It’s your fault! You accept things that way they are. Stop blaming everyone else.
