Yep, it is amazing that Ted Kennedy has enough air for all of us, except Mary Jo Kopechne. If he had even used 1/10th of his breath then, she might be alive today. Instead, we now have someone who never saw a day in jail for his illegal act, pandering to a crowd that wants all sorts of amnesty for those that have also perpetrated an illegal act. CommonSenseAmerica has a great post of Teddy Boys speech - she tried to type everything that he said to the crowd. That takes some guts, ’cause I cannot even handle 3 seconds of that guys spew.

Major Hats off to CommonSenseAmerica for bringing us this stuff … here you go!

Ted Kennedy’s Speech Translated Into English
I am so angry right now that I am nearly in tears. I just finished watching Senator Ted Kennedy give a speech in front of the illegal immigrant rally at the National Mall in Washington, DC. I typed as fast as I could through moments of blind anger to get his entire speech for you and I’m copying it below. It is broken into paragraphs by each sentence because they had to have a translator translate each sentence to Spanish for the crowd. Yes, they had to translate for all of the assimilating illegal immigrants. Instead of adding their Spanish translations, I’m adding my own American citizen translations for you in parenthesis.

Kennedy gave a speech that can only be described as ‘The day he gave away our nation’ as he pandered for votes from the illegal Hispanic community. Comparing the plight of the illegal immigrant with the African Americans of the Civil Rights movements, Kennedy disgraced our nation with the following as he looked out over a sea of illegal immigrants and their activists yelling:

• I see the future of America! (Well there you have it, the American citizen is officially out and illegal immigrants are in!)
• We are a nation of immigrants! (Yes, we came here legally but, come on in!)
• Today we stand together as brothers and sisters to shape America’s destiny! (Remember my name, Ted Kennedy, at the polls!)
• Old Americans new Americans and future Americans! All join together for the common good! (Anarchy!)
• Let me ask you some questions,
• Are you ready??? (For amnesty?)
• Do you have a good job??? (Will you vote for me????)
• Do you love your family??? (I’m giving you amnesty!!!)
• Do you love your community??? (Will you vote for me????)
• Do you love America??? (I’m giving you amnesty!!!)
• You are what this debate is about! (The American citizen doesn’t even factor into our thinking!)
• It’s about good people who come to America to work, (Screw the Americans - we’re on your side)
• To raise their families, (The American citizens don’t have families!)
• To contribute to their communities and to reach the American dream! (Nightmare if you get your way, Ted!)
• This debate goes to the heart of who we are as Americans! (Yes, we’re at a crossroad. Are we lawful or lawless?)
• It will determine who can earn the privilege of becoming a citizen! (America is for sale to the highest bidder! Or voter!)
• It will determine our future progress! (Or at least mine!)
• Some in Congress want to turn America away from its true spirit! (True spirit of enforcing our law!)
• They believe immigrants are criminals and they are wrong! (No, Mr. Buttmunch, they’re not wrong!)
• They believe any of us that help immigrants, even our priests are criminals, too! (No one is above the law!)
• They are wrong again! (No, think again!)
• They say you should report to deport! (Ummm, once again, that’s the law!)
• I say report to become American citizens! (Report to who? You?)
• More than 4 decades ago near this place, Martin Luther King… (I lost the end of this sentence because my jaw hit the floor that he had the nerve to compare people that snuck into this country illegally with the slavery of African Americans of the past!)
• Freedom did ring and Freedom can ring again! (Time for Americans to give Teddy a ring!)
• It’s time for Americans to lift their voice now in pride for our immigrant past and our immigrant future! (How about lifting our voices to enforce our laws?)
• We stand for the future! (The future of what?)
• We stand for our families! (But not if they are American citizens and as long as I get something out of it!)
• We stand for our faith! (Of aborting babies and standing for immorality and lawlessness!)
• And I stand with you and you and you and you! (As long as you need their vote, huh Ted?)
• Are you with me??? Are you with me??? Are you with me??? (You might want to check with voting Americans, Ted!)
• John McCain and I have a plan. (Amnesty!)
• It’s a strong plan, (No more laws!)
• it’s a fair plan … (I lost the last part of this sentence because I was so angry)
• Do you support us??? Do you support us??? Do you support us??? (I’m giving you amnesty … don’t forget!)
• We will never give up! (Unless Americans vote your sorry butt out of office!)
• We will never give in! (Neither will we, Mr. Kennedy. Neither will we.)
