1. That sounded like he genuinely cared about poor people. Didn't he know they were just moochers?

Takers. Shiftless and lazy. Mitt Romney explained all this. And he said people should go ahead and make something of themselves, even if they had to borrow twenty thousands dollars from their parents.

Yep Cruz and the right wing ilk that support you--what have you done.,
One of my hero's, Robert Kennedy saw and went and talked to people that have and did experience poverty, hunger, ect...., what have you done, lately, shut down a government and attack this society with your hate and fear rhetoric.
Kennedy would have been our president and a great president.
Cruz-less on the other hand not much debate when you run on and against you own ego, with talking points from Cruz-less

the Catholic Church in other countries. I talked about many things I did not agree with but one of them was about how the Irish church emphasized the need to help others. The Kennedy brothers definitely learned the lesson.


As to a reference - I will not reference it because this was not a book I recommend. I later sold it on Ebay to a Nazi who acknowledged who he was. There was a lot in the book that fit their philosophy. But I think they were correct regarding the differences in the Catholic Church.

5. a great loss to this nation and the world

I remember being awake in Yonkers when the news came over the tv that RFK had been shot in California. I woke my brother to tell him the news and he cried, having known Bobby peripherally during his time in the Peace Corps. We both had held high hopes for the good RFK could do for this nation and felt the loss personally. It isn't too hard to see how the deaths of millions across the world could be laid at the feet of Sirhan Sirhan. What a waste.
