Thank you, John Kerry, for helping make us Vietnam veterans war heroes now, but you also were the primary reason that the American public grabbed sturdy unbending brooms of judgment and swept us into the closet of silence and shame for so many years. Now, with your latest unreported insanity, you are getting ready for our society to grab those same stiff brooms and sweep our brave, noble young men and women fighting against the War on Terror in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere, into the cold, dark cell of heartbreak and betrayal that we Vietnam veterans endured in silent dignity. I cannot and will not watch this country go through that again.
The hardcore America-hating, Israel-hating, jihad-spouting Muslim clerics in the Mideast are very excited, passing around a front page newspaper story from the very anti-American Tehran Times in Iran. In the country that is home of the world’s toughest theocratic dictatorship, an e-mail from you, Mr. Kerry, sent to the paper by your campaign committee (although they deny sending it) was printed word-for-word on the front page of Iran’s main newspaper. Your message states emphatically that if elected President you plan to travel to the Mideast and elsewhere and apologize for our actions and the actions of President Bush in the War on Terror. You are already apologizing. It says that you plan to apologize to friends and foes alike. You have also made statements you will take these actions within 100 days of becoming President. (That’s right, folks. John Kerry will say he is “sorry” and in his mind all those jihad extremists who have vowed to kill all Americans wherever we are will simply forgive us, hold hands with him and all will be right in the world.) This is insane!
Senior writer Kenneth R. Timmerman in the March 1st edition of Insight, tells about the massive campaign contributions to the Kerry-for-President campaign by three Iranian businessmen living in the US who are lobbying for the US to lift sanctions on Iran and accept the anti-Christian, anti-Jewish, anti-American Tehran regime and the close ties of one to the chairman of Mobil Oil.
“Pro-democracy dissidents” in Iran are shocked and appalled at your remarks and have reported that in Iran and other Mideastern countries all the extremists and anti-west mullahs who strongly supported the attacks on the World Trade Center, Pentagon, USS Cole, Marine Barracks, and anyplace Americans congregate, want you to become our President, but they are scared to death of George W. Bush. Just think: the Democratic candidate for President is endorsed by al Qaida, Hezbollah, PLF, and Hamas.
But on February 27, 2004, in a speech at UCLA, while trying to talk tough despite voting against all major weapons systems for the past 18 years, you stated that you will continue the War on Terror but would use our police forces, and especially those in foreign countries, and you would also put our troops back under the powder blue flag of the United Nations. You recently made comments about Bush making troops fight without Kevlar vests, but you, Senator Kerry, voted against buying them while you were in the Senate. (Senate Bill 1689 passed 87-12. You were one of the 12. Remember?)
Like the Kama Sutra, Senator, you change positions constantly. You’re not going to end the War on Terror but instead use police to handcuff terrorists and read them their rights; then a week later, you say you are going to end the War on Terrorism and apologize to everyone we have offended, such as Iran. What is it going be next week, John Kerry? You flip-flop more than a beached tuna on steroids.
You convinced TV reporters Chris Wallace on Fox and NBC’s Tim Russert that a photograph circulating the web and news showing you a few rows away from Jane Fonda at a September, 1970, Anti-War Rally at Valley Forge was simply a coincidence and that you and Hanoi Jane barely knew each other. But, in fact, Senator, there were only eight speakers that day, including Fonda, Donald Southerland, and Bella Abzug. Hanoi Jane funded that rally, and the keynote speaker was you, John Forbes Kerry, executive committee member of Vietnam Veterans Against the War.
We must be Americans first and think about our political parties second. Sometimes we lose sight of that. I have six grown children and two are Democrats. I voted for Jimmy Carter. This is not about politics. It is about standing up to the ultimate playground bully, and not simply cowering and kissing his shoes.
Santayana said, “Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”
John Kerry, I now call on my “Band of Brothers,” those who have heard the sound of guns and cries of orphaned children, those who hate war more than anyone who has not been there, to join me in this difficult battle ahead., I call on the 25,000,000 veterans of this country, Republicans, Democrats, independents, and apolitical, to help me confront this evil facing our great nation, not with guns and bombs, but with our voices, our votes, our computers, and with all our fighting spirit.
My fellow veterans, your families, survivors, and neighbors: God bless you and God bless America.
