RSSRep. Patrick Joseph Kennedy, Theologian

Could there be a finer Irish name than Patrick Kennedy? 
Sure and begorrah, there could not, and, Patrick, you’ve done a foine job at presenting yourself, indeed.
Could there be a worse exemplar of Irishness and Catholicity than Congressman Patrick Kennedy? Sure, now, there couldn’t!
Catholic theologian-wannabe Patrick has now weighed in on the abortion-in-Obamacare controversy and the right of the Catholic Church to express an opinion on the matter: http://bit.ly/zt9Wr.
He declared that the Church is sowing the seeds, “flames of dissent and discord,” he called it, by its opposition to Obamacare simply because Obama’s cure for the nation’s health care issue incorporates provisions for solving any health problems of the pre-born by killing them.
Patrick, Patrick, Patrick, me-boy, are you not aware that the other Irishman, Barack O’Bama, has said abortion will not be incorporated in Obamacare? If not, would you be beating a dead horse?
And, how can you say, “I can’t understand for the life of me how the Catholic Church could be against the biggest social justice issue of our time, where the very dignity of the human person is being respected by the fact that we’re caring and giving health care to the human person–that right now we have 50 million people who are uninsured?”
That number, by the way, seems to grow and blow in the wind.
Patrick, in the immortal words of Irish playwright, Sean O’Casey, surely you don’t believe that “The whole world’s in a state of chassis” or that health care supersedes the issue of killing pre-born babies as “the biggest social issue of our time?”
For the life of me, I can’t fathom your thinking!
Is not ending the lives of some 50,000,000 human beings long before their time more consequential than inaugurating a socialistic welfare program?
Patrick, Patrick, Patrick! Where did you go wrong, m’lad? Where is your compass?
Was it that scamp of a da of yours who started you down that misbegotten, slippery slope when he willfully let a poor, young lassie drown in his car? Is that what started you believing that human life had no meaning?
Your da always had a soft spot in that lion heart of his for the disadvantaged in our land. He’d often say so while sailing his yacht off the family compound at Martha’s Vineyard.
But did ye know that, “Abortion kills more black Americans than the seven leading causes of death combined, according to data collected” by the CDC?
It’s true! That translates into some 204,000 deaths of pre-born African-Americans in a single year in but 36 states, plus New York City and D.C.: http://bit.ly/kiOCC.
That’s an awful lot of disadvantaged black lives snuffed out before they had a chance, Patrick, and now you say that O’Bama wants to continue that genocidal mayhem and you agree?
Almost worse is your prognostications of violence arising from peaceful protests over this Obamacare thing. Granted the Kennedys have experienced more than their fair share of violence but predicting that people who disagree with you and O’Bama could resort to murder is a bit extreme: http://bit.ly/4sbLNU.
Now, me boy, I fully understand that you’ve had some wee issues with what we call “the drink.” You had that episode of “driving while impaired” in Washington. In Ireland those episodes are usually called driving drunk.
Not that alcoholism in any way reflect on your character or abilities, Patrick. You’re still no doubt a foine man and you did enter rehab, you suffer from bi-polar disorder and addiction to prescription drugs, so there’s more than a bit on your plate.
If I could make some suggestions, first, get yourself married to some fine lass. The family–if I may be so bold–has a long history of illicit liaisons. You need a good woman to preserve you from the divil’s temptations.
They overcame your da, of course, as well as your paternal great-grampa with Gloria Swanson and other ladies, your uncles Jack and Bobby’s with their various escapades with Marilyn, among others, even your cousins, William Kennedy Smith in Florida and that skank, Michael Skakel who raped and murdered that teenager in 1962.
After all, now, you’re a fine broth of a man but don’t you think that at 42 years of age you might think of settlin’ down, as in taking a wife?
My last suggestion, me bucko, is to stick to the family business of politics and keep your opinions of Catholic Church doctrines to yourself. You posing as a theologian is tantamount to your father posing as a driving instructor.
