Many Latinos are perceived Roman Catholic; good doff of the no-cost hat to have major media recently airing all about a letter Obama and Kennedy sent to the Pope...bud up to a Pope certain demographics like (hoping they'll forget just a little while ago you said the Pope was a "discredited leader"), and that PROVES you love certain (or all) people.
Those April DHS reports not known to have been watered down yet insofar as the protocols they effect, and so many watch lists still growing, must be some kind of tough love.
The Obamacare bill costs $1.76 trillion, enough to pay $17,000 for at least 100 million people; there are not that many people in need of that kind of immediate or near-immediate care; and to his credit, Senator Edward M. Kennedy never once thought his name should be ensconced upon it; one must remember the current cloy expands to "do it for old Ted, no matter costs to you, as long as officials can still keep or kite their own pay and perks, while we fund $290 billion + string-free to Ladenist lands"....at a time the Obama administration prides itself upon cutting credit to consumers who lose jobs, yet funds State and local grants for "necessary" public employees and realty-related bankers...so we can pay down that debt.
Even as a "Buckley" Conservative, I do NOT nor have I ever oppose(d) care for the truly medically complexed...for such tough cases, not every little old sniffle, human compassion calls for rendering aid to such needy, and doing so needn't cost anywhere near a trillion or two or three or..... . I understand Senator Kennedy was a man of such reasoning, albeit as the Senate's "Liberal Lion". And do you know Senator Kennedy and even his staff never told me to shut up as a citizen making rational inquiry re bills over time; that nobody in Massachussettes ever indicated that the only way to win was steamroll?
Well, while Obamacare might need some work before enactment if it's truly to be omni-demographic friendly, and certainly national debt/job creation or retention friendly, there is another bill Senator Kennedy DID put his name upon recently which I feel would both honor what he, RFK, and JFK truly stood for: the Kennedy-Menendez STANDARDS Act, which would protect nationals, immigrants, tourists, and demographic of every stripe from being detained forever as a "terror suspect" unless a Court could be convinced that some meritorious actual tether to true terrorist activity could be demonstrated.
The Kennedy-Menendez STANDARDS Act: a way to honor the memory of a man with a bill that costs not one cent to enact or follow, cuts costs (and national debt/taxes) for over-used detentions...and yields a value to humanity that is priceless.
