by Stephen LittauI have to say, I love these commercials from unionfacts.com.

And here is Ted Kennedy’s well reasoned response:
“To be GOVERNED is to be watched, inspected, spied upon, directed, law-driven, numbered, regulated, enrolled, indoctrinated, preached at, controlled, checked, estimated, valued, censured, commanded, by creatures who have neither the right nor the wistom nor the virtue to do so. To be GOVERNED is to be at every operation, at every transaction noted, registered, counted, taxed, stamped, measured, numbered, assessed, licensed, authorized, admonished, prevented, forbidden, reformed, corrected, punished. It is, under pretext of public utility, and in the name of the general interest, to be placed under contribution, drilled, fleeced, exploited, monopolized, extorted from, squeezed, hoaxed, robbed; then, at the slightest resistance, the first word of complaint, to be repressed, fined, vilified, harrassed, hunted down, abused, clubbed, disarmed, bound, choked, imprisoned, judged, condemned, shot, deported, sacrificed, sold, betrayed; and to crown all, mocked, ridiculed, derided, outraged, dishonored. That is government; that is its justice; that is its morality.” P. J. Proudhon, General Idea of the Revolution in the Nineteenth Century

Yeah, uhm, just a tip for the unionfacts.com folks… Never get between Ted Kennedy and a campaign contributor.

And here’s another tip for the unionfacts.com folks: never get between Ted Kennedy and a jelly donut.

Comment by Matthew Lee — June 25, 2008 @ 12:33 pmGreat commercials.
1. Good for Teddy, he can read like a big boy.
2. Does he think saying “This is what I think of them”, 3 times while tearing up the ad is going to hurt their feelings? Ooooh, I bet they’re shakin’ in their shoes.
3. I hope he got a ticket for littering.
