Senator Kerry’s Permanent Patriotism.

The New Tech Diary ^

[1stFreedom]

Democrat Senator John Kerry recently made a controversial statement about President Bush.

"What we need now is not just a regime change in Saddam Hussein and Iraq, but we need a regime change in the United States," Senator Kerry said.

When controversy erupted over the statement, the Senator refused to back down. "I don't need any lessons in patriotism or in caring for America" he said, justifying himself based upon his past war service.

What Senator Kerry fails to realize is that patriotism is linear, not cumulative. What matters most is Senator Kerry’s current support (or lack thereof), not his past patriotism.

Surely there are people out there who spat on Vietnam Vets but currently support the war in Iraq. They may have been unpatriotic in the past, but today they are patriots. To call them otherwise would be to ignore the obvious.

Serving in a past war doesn’t grant someone free pass to now act in an unpatriotic way. Past patriotism does not automatically mean that one is a permanent patriot. The Senator obviously thinks that he has permanent patriot status. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Yeah. Benedict Arnold was considered a great war hero until he tried to give West Point to the redcoats...

Kerry's a twerp!

Kerry is geting hammered all over the place for his stupid comments.

In a way it is in my opinion ironic. He is known for never taking strong position on anything.

Now here he is defending such blatantly stupid comments.

I think that he just wants to bail out of this race, and not suffer his first election loss.

I find it so offensive when a veteran uses his status to slam a Commander in Chief for political reasons. Kerry is a sad case, who is simply trying to get a few "points" with the left and thinking that he'll come out of this "teflon coated".

Sorry, Kerry, it don't work that way ... for every wacko point you gain, your more moderate support in your party will leave two fold.

To the basement with you.

Theresa Heinz's bitch shot himself in the foot. BIG TIME.

I've got a chant to use at his rallys.

"No Votes for Ketchup"

"What we need now is not just a regime change in Saddam Hussein and Iraq, but we need a regime change in the United States," Senator Kerry said.

Our "regime" is a federally structured constitutional republic. What would he change it to?

He obviously meant a change of administration. His purposeful use of the term "regime" is disgusting in his underhanded attempt to smear our President. It is also a sign of desperation for the Democratic Party. One can only hope they continue to make statements like this, making ever more plain to all their disdain for the Constitution of the United States of America.

WHO IS JOHN KERRY?

[D. Miles]

Patriotism is not like an article of clothing to be worn then discarded! Patriotism comes from the heart. Kerry has no heart, so, he is incapable of patriotism!

WINTER SOLDIER - John Kerry

 

“Just because the U.S. Supreme Court made a decision in its selection, and an error in its decision in the year 2000, doesn’t mean we have to live with it for six more years.” Senator John F. Kerry told an overflow crowd at the Peterborough Public Library. 4/2/2003

He should take a lesson from martin sheen and put ducktape over his mouth.

[MsLady]

What he does have is a really snazzy $200.00 hair cut.

[VRWC For Truth]

Serving in a past war doesn’t grant someone free pass to now act in an unpatriotic way.

This also should be noted to the John McCain cheerleaders.

I shall be passing along links to both of those web sites.

Kerry threw his medals back at an anti-war rally (but really didn't - they're displayed on his office wall). With convictions like this he's a natural Demoncrat.

[chatham]

What "Senator Kerry needs is a Brain, making the statements about regime change puts him in the category of the Profoundly Stupid and shamelessly ignorant.
I am suffering the results of Taxation without representation since he is one of my Leftist Senators the other is a drunk.

[chatham]

Plus a plastic bag over his head tied at the neck.

Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel - Johnson

[zeugma]

Actually, he was a great hero prior to his attempt at selling out. If I remember correctly, he commanded the American forces in some of its few victories against the Brits early on in the revolution.

[EternalVigilance]

Yes, he was the hero of Saratoga, and was also instumental in taking Fort Ticonderoga.
