Blind squirrel finds nut. Kerry is right. Franklin could never be confirmed to a cabinet post or ambassadorship now. Why? Because he believed in republican virtue and limited government, and therefore the left would dig up stories about his womanizing and use them to vilify him in the media during his confirmation hearings, while every Democrat senator postured hypocritically about moral issues and bloviated that confirming Franklin would be a concession to the Republican “War on Women”.
Why is it that Kerry has to openly act out the precise goals of the communists that Skousen laid out in his book?
- Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
- Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the common man.
