Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
and the immortal words of Sen. Lloyd Bentson.
Glenn Greenwald’s interview with Robert, Jr. brings to mind the verbal stab delivered by Senator Lloyd Bentson in the 1988 presidential cycle: “Senator [Dan Quayle] , I served with Jack Kennedy. I knew Jack Kennedy. Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine. Senator, you're no Jack Kennedy.”
Robert Kennedy, Jr. is calculating, not-that-smart, impulsive, and a lazy thinker. And he's SCARED to death of Israel and her “influencers” here in the USA. He KNOWS he has to bow down. Don't get me wrong, he's — low bar — better than Biden and I could vote for him just to scare the crap out of the corrupt and worthless Dems. But for that latter purpose a vote for the sanctimonious Rev. West may prove more effective. No matter. We're doomed to no authentic leadership. And if you’re one of those who believe that leadership will come from Donald Trump, I have some shares in the Brooklyn Bridge at a GREAT price!
Spot on, Ken! Thanks for posting this. It's sad to realize that Kennedy's uncle, President John F. Kennedy, had the raw courage to stand against the Jewish state of Israel by demanding inspections of Israel's nuclear program and by demanding that the Israel lobby be registered as a foreign agent. He was the last president to do those things. In my opinion, he was our last true president. Too bad RFK, Jr. doesn't have the courage to do the same.
Well, Ken, I am only just beginning to take a look at Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and what he believes, stands for and would pursue should he somehow gain the Democratic party nomination and end up victorious over whoever the Republicans offer voters. Our political system is, in my estimation, on the verge of implosion due to the absolute subservience to money and vested interests. My solution is far too radical for consideration, I suspect. Replace election of legislators with selection by lottery of those who pass a fairly rigorous course in civics and indicate a willingness to serve.
