Robert Schindler - Real Defender of the Downtrodden, Teddy Kennedy - Anything But
After posting the article about the death of Robert Schindler a while ago I got to thinking of the contrast between him & Teddy Kennedy. The last few days Teddy has been lionized, deified & built up as a hero for the helpless & downtrodden. He was anything but.
I have long said he was nowhere near the person either of his brothers, John & Bobby, were. In fact, he owes his entire career to them, esp their deaths. Much of what he did was only because he was able to play on the tragedy of their assasinations.
He was no family man. His tomcatting arround is proof enough of that. He was also a drunk who got away with murder. If he wasn't a Kennedy he would never have gotten the special treatment in the investigation & pass for how he left Mary Jo Kopeckne to drown. Any regular Joe would have spent time in jail for negligent homicide etc. & his support of abortion meant that he allowed the murder of over 3200 people every day of the most downtrodden people in the USA. Add to that the untold others arround the world also murdered by abortion. He worked to take away our freedom & rights by working to make government big brother.
Then there is Robert Schindler, a real family man who, in fighting for his daughter Terri Schiavo, sought to protect untold others arround the world who were facing the same threats as she did. he tried to save a life, not leave someone to die. He never wanted to trade on his daughter's death, he wanted her to live.
What Wanda Franz, the president of The National Right to Life Committee said is exactly right: "Bob Schindler was an extraordinary father, husband and friend.” "Despite facing legal setbacks at virtually every turn, the Schindlers, with their children at their side, fought unceasingly to defend the right of their daughter, Terri Schindler Schiavo, to receive food and fluids."
I join her in thanking Robert and his family for "advocating for other medically dependent and disabled patients facing similar circumstances."
Sadly Ted Kennedy will get most of the attention. Robert Schindler will get passing mention. & in much of the main stream media it won't be any more positive than it was during his fight for Terri.
I may never have met him, but I am eternally grateful for all he did. He was a true hero. He will be truly missed as well. He has earned his rest & he is now reunited with Terri. May he rest in peace.
