Kerry’s Baggage: Why has it gone uninspected?
by Daniel Clark
So, what’s the outcome of the interim agreement that’s been struck with Iran? According to the Obama administration, we’re going to dramatically ease the economic sanctions against that country, in exchange for its unverifiable promise that it will limit the enrichment of its uranium so that it cannot be weaponized. According to the Mullahs, we haven’t even got that promise, but instead have open-endedly agreed to the proposition that Iran has a right to enrich uranium.
In either case, that doesn’t sound like a very good deal. Then again, why would we expect it to be, when there was nobody there negotiating on America’s behalf? Instead, President Obama sent John Kerry. If it’s not obvious why the 2004 presidential nominee is unfit to represent America, that’s only because liberals have succeeded in setting rules of decorum – both in Congress and in general political discourse – according to which anyone who questions a liberal’s patriotism is ostracized. The more valid the question, the more forcefully the questioner is denounced (see: McCarthy, Joseph).
Perhaps that’s why, when Obama picked Kerry to head the State Department, nobody found it relevant that his most formative diplomatic experience was an act of treason. In 1970, Kerry met with North Vietnamese representatives in Paris. He held no government position at the time, apart from his being in the Naval Reserves, but instead was there to represent Vietnam Veterans Against the War, the organization whose fraudulent “Winter Soldier Investigation” he recounted in his slanderous 1971 testimony before the Senate.
During the ’04 campaign, Kerry portrayed himself as a well-meaning peacemaker, by saying that he’d met with “both delegations.” What he meant by that, however, was that he’d met with representatives of both the North Vietnamese government and the Vietcong. No representative of the United States was present.
The “People’s Peace Treaty” that resulted was not an agreement between opposing sides of a conflict, but only a propaganda piece that had been agreed upon by America’s foreign and domestic enemies. The Communists did agree to certain concessions, but those were all predicated on a U.S. withdrawal. Once America abandoned the fight, the Reds would release all the POWs, and hold free elections in South Vietnam. Of course, there would be nothing to hold them to that, once their demands had already been met.
Likewise, the Iranian deal requires us to give up our leverage before getting anything in return. Even if the Iranians agree to the enrichment limits, what happens if they simply opt not to comply? By the time we discover their transgression, the development of their program could be so advanced as to deter us from reinstating the sanctions.
There’s no reason to expect Kerry to negotiate any differently now than he did four decades ago, because his behavior has been consistent throughout. As a senator, the purveyor of “People’s Peace” traveled to Nicaragua with Sen. Tom Harkin in 1984, to publicly support the Sandinista military dictatorship headed by Daniel Ortega, and to accuse the American-supported Contras of “terrorism.” As recently as 2005, he characterized the role of American soldiers in Iraq as terrorizing women and children in the dead of night. From one conflict to another, the theme has been, to rephrase an Arabic proverb, the enemy of our enemy is John Kerry’s enemy.
As if to deliberately confirm his pro-enemy position, Kerry stated in 2007 that “there was not a massive bloodbath in Vietnam” after the U.S. pulled out. He did acknowledge that the Communist reeducation camps “weren’t pretty … but on the other hand, I’ve met a lot of people today who were in those education camps, who are thriving in the Vietnam of today.” He stands by his description of his fellow American soldiers as torturers, murderers and rapists, though.
What’s different today is that Kerry is not representing some hippie subversive group, or speaking for the Alger Hiss wing of the Democratic Party. Like it or not, he’s a legitimately appointed and confirmed cabinet secretary, part of whose job is to represent the United States in negotiations.
How has it come to this, that our country is being led by people who don’t even like it or share its interests? The unfortunate fact is that not enough people recognized it while it was happening, which is a direct result of conservatives’ passive adherence to liberal speech codes. But what other choice is there? You can’t just go around accurately describing people as traitors and Communist sympathizers, because …
Well, you just can’t. That’s all.

Can I check me a suitcase?
If you want to know what makes this goof tick follow the money.
Kerry has enriched himself to the tune of millions of dollars by investing in stocks using inside information he gained as a senator. When he was on the POW/MIA select committee he steered a multi-billion-dollar construction contract for work in Vietnam to his cousin Stuart Forbes. And he sure didn’t marry his billionaire wife for her looks or charm.
How many commies are in the Obama Administration? Anyone got a number?
I would say all of them are.
A horse is a horse, of course of course,
and no one can talk to a horse of course,
that is of course, unless the horse,
Is the famous Mister John!
Go right to the source and ask the horse.
He’ll give you the answer that you’ll endorse.
He’s always on a steady course.
Talk to Mister John.
His teeth go yak-it-ti-yak you know
He’ll waste your time of day,
But Mister John will always speak,
Even if he has nothing to say ...
Ohhhhhhh ......
A horse is a horse, of course of course,
And this one will talk ‘til his voice is hoarse.
You never heard of a talking horse?
Well, listen to this...
I am Mister John Frikken Kerry
Then Senator kerry said, “Nothing bad happened in VN after we left.”
Change the question to how many “Marxists” (which includes Communists, i.e. members of an organized party or who belong to a movement/organization such as the Democratic Socialists of America, the key element on the Left for Obama supporters and former Communist Party USA members including Obama’s personal physician and father of “national healthcare” Dr. Quentin Young).
Van Jones - Valerie Jarrett’s favorite communist (STORM organization).
Valerie Jarrett - reds in her family and that of her former husband
Anita Dunn- Likes Mao as one of her two favorite philosophers
Roger? Malley, son of Soviet operative Simon Malley. Once Obama’s unofficial,covert contact with Syria/Assad
David Axelrod: Mentored by two old Soviet-oriented reds, Don Rose, veteran of CPUSA fronts and causes since the 1940’s (he admitted this); David S. Canter, id. CPUSA member, head of a Soviet propaganda operation in Chicago (with CPUSA member Leroy Wolins) - refused to register as agents of a foreign power; son of avowed communist Harry Canter (who took his family to the Soviet Union to live in the 1920’s/30s, and who was a leading member of the COMMUNIST PARTY OF ILLINOIS/CHICAGO as early as 1940. Possibly a founding member of the CPUSA.
David Canter’s son Marc said that his father “knew” Barack Obama in Chicago (apparently a reference to Chicago politics in which Canter was a major player and king maker, i.e. Mayor Harold Washington, another communist sympathizer).
Arne Duncan - Secy of Education. Interesting philosophy about education, from the Left, and had ties to communists/marxists in the Chicago education scene, i.e. Bill Ayers, Obama, Richard Ayers, etc. through the Annenberg Foundation groups.
Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich), once the leading Democrat chairman of the House Judiciary Committee and hardcore Communist/CPUSA supporter and now DSA member.

In Congress, red as can be Barbara Lee (D-Cal), Tom Harkin (D-Io), Jan Schakowky (D-Ill), Danny Davis (D-Ill, Chicago), Laura DeRosa (D-Ct, hardcore red), etc.
Lots more to come on reds in the Obama administration. Enough to change the name of the White House to the “Red House”.
Some former ACORN operatives/leaders now serving as Obamacare Navigators.
And it gets worse.
“Hillary (Obama in a skirt)”
Skirt? Hillary?
Hillary is the more masculine, pants-wearing form of Obama.
Kerry’s Luggage is so UN-Inspected that he probably carried a suitcase nuke to give to the Mullah of Iran as part of a “sweetner” to get them to sign that crappy treaty which isn’t worth the paper that was made in china it was signed on...
