  Monarchies are offensive and anti-American

  MONARCHIES ARE OFFENSIVE AND ANTI-AMERICAN

  I have an idea. Why don’t we find out if any of Hillary Clinton’s college roommates are living in New York? Then, Gov. Paterson can appoint her until Chelsea Clinton turns 30.

  Why not? This is the Clinton seat, not the public’s seat.

  (Absurd? Well, this has been done before. See who replaced JFK in 1961)

  Or, perhaps, we can find out if Patrick Moynihan has any children living in New York and appoint him or her.

  Or how about investigating to find out whether Jimmy Carter has any children or grandchildren living in New York?

  Political dynasties are immoral and anti-American. Here, in Illinois, even before Blago decided to sell a Senate seat, selfish politicians have repeatedly won primaries, withdrawn their names from the ballot in August, and then had their lackeys nominate their sons in their place.

  In other words, they FIXED an election. This happened with Congressman William Lipinski, Cook County president John Stroger (the largest county in the USA), and State Senate president Emil Jones, among others.

  And now here comes the ultimate spoiled child. She wants to be a U.S. senator so she picks up the governor and asks him to appoint her to the job. If she wanted to be a senator, why didn’t she do what the rest of us have to do – prove herself over several years in the City Council, State Assembly, something, anything?

  Or she could have organized a campaign in an effort to persuade millions of New Yorkers that they should vote for her based on her life experiences. But no, this spoiled brat is ENTITLED to a Senate seat because she is, well, her last name is Kennedy and that’s that.

  It says something really bad about the American psyche and civic life if this outrage is permitted.

  Politicians like Lipinski, Stroger, and Kennedy have contempt for the American public. They believe in fixing elections. And make no mistake that this appointment is about fixing the Senate election of 2010, 2012, 2018, etc.

  The fundraisers have already been contacted by the Kennedy clan. Anyone who challenges the princess in a Democratic primary will have no funding, no support in the Democratic party, and will be ostracized and have his or her career destroyed by the Kennedy machine. And the GOP is dead in New York.

  Anyone who isn’t outraged by the fixing of an election and unelected monarchies is not a real American.

  Shalom,
