Senator Kennedy showed that he could live with shame. He screwed up in many ways, but he never tried to retreat from his work. That is quite admirable in any human being.

Please, people, let's keep it real.

Did Ted Kennedy repent?

I never heard a confession, nor an expression of contrition from him about his negligience in the death of that young lady.

I DID see how a wealthy and powerful family tried to cover up that action.

Of course, only God knows.

But why do we deify Ted Kennedy?

Christians, are we such slaves to the world?

Let's look to real saints!

NEW YORK (AP) — Sen. Edward M. Kennedy wrote in a memoir being published this month that he made terrible decisions after the 1969 car crash that killed Mary Jo Kopechne, but said he was never romantically involved with her and was haunted by that night for his entire life.
He also wrote in True Compass that he accepted the conclusion that a lone gunman assassinated his brother President John F. Kennedy.

The memoir is to be published Sept. 14 by Twelve, a division of the Hachette book group. The 532-page book was obtained early by The New York Times and the New York Daily News.

In it, Kennedy said his actions on Chappaquiddick Island on July 18, 1969, were "inexcusable." He said he was afraid and "made terrible decisions" and had to live with the guilt for more than four decades.

Kennedy drove off a bridge into a pond. He swam to safety, leaving Kopechne in the car.

Did he ever repent for being one of the all-time most vociferous defenders of abortion? Or for his decades of adultery, debauchery, and licentious living? Or for his strong support of homosexual "marriage" and virtually every other social policy which undermined traditional values?
