The Kennedy Legacy and what it stands for can become "hot and heavy" when discussing President Jack, Ted, Bob, Patrick and "Slick Oil"Joe.........A mention of their names brings out the "best and worst" of very good friends and can go on into the night without any agreement.......
It becomes the very focus of our Blue State versus Red State mentality....liberal ..conservative,rich...poor, tax...no tax....,choice.....no choice, peace....war....................... and so on....
However.......It is my opinion that the Kennedy Legacy will be remembered and be fostered in the area of intellectual disabilities not by the above personalities but by Eunice Shriver Kennedy who by news accounts is living her final days on earth.......It appears that Heaven will open its arms to her for the untiring works and vision to care and change forever the lives of people by her founding of the " Special Olympics "........
The Special Olympics was founded by her in 1968 which was inspired by her disabled Sister Rosemary.The group is now the largest amateur sports association in the world serving 2.5 million people ( and all the connected families ) in 180 countries.........
That is what I CALL A LEGACY !!!!!!!!!! Lets forget politics for awhile and give this wonderful woman her due.......Maybe her Daughter Maria ( right ) will take the group to an even higher level
