Kerry slams Trump's wall, tells grads to prepare for 'borderless world'
Washington Examiner ^ | 5/6/16 | PETE KASPEROWICZ

Posted on 05/08/2016 7:42:40 AM PDT by AndyJackson

Secretary of State John Kerry took a shot at Donald Trump during his Friday commencement speech at Northeastern University, by saying no wall is big enough to keep dangerous terrorists out of the United States.

"Many of you were in elementary school when you learned the toughest lesson of all on 9/11," he said. "There are no walls big enough to stop people from anywhere, tens of thousands of miles away, who are determined to take their own lives while they target others."

"So I think that everything that we've lived and learn tells us that we will never come out on top if we accept advice from sound-bite salesmen and carnival barkers who pretend the most powerful country on Earth can remain great by looking inward," Kerry added. "And hiding behind walls at a time that technology has made that impossible to do and unwise to even attempt."

Kerry didn't mention Trump by name, but Trump has repeatedly called for a wall on the southern U.S. border, and many Democrats, and some Republicans, have taken to calling him a carnival barker.

Kerry also seemed to dismiss the importance of national borders, and said technology has reshaped the world into one that the U.S. must engage at the risk of being left behind. He said Trump and others who want to look inward are making a mistake, even in the face of rising tension and violence in the world.

"For some people, that is all they need simply to climb under the sheets, close their eyes and push the world away," Kerry said. "And shockingly, we even see this attitude from some who think they ought to be entrusted with the job of managing international affairs."

"The future demands from us something more than a nostalgia for some rose-tinted version of the past that did not really exist in any case," he said. "You're about to graduate into a complex and borderless world."

Kerry, like virtually everyone in the State Department, forgets that they are supposed to be working for the good of the US.

John Kerry has been a traitor to the United States of America since the 1970s. There is no statute of limitations on treason.

Justice demands that Kerry be tried, convicted, and hanged for giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

Getting to do their jobs will make the Feds happy. Not being allowed to do their jobs makes them miserable.

“Kerry, he’s just an idiot.”

May the barnacles grow strong on his yacht,and ‘The bird of Paradise’ fly up his nose as his wife is saddened by ‘runners in her hose’

Sir Gigolo’s service will go down in history as the worst example of ignorance at State....

You wonder if he knows he is doing Lucifer’s bidding and paving the way for Antichrist. Your post got me to thinking.

We all must realize the antichrist will be here one day. We also know it turns out good for those who believe. So, if Kerry and the rest are “paving the way” for the antichrist it’s because that’s the way God wants it. Personally, I say the sooner the better.

The wall’s not supposed to stop them, Mr. Ed. Just slow them down long enough to draw a bead on them and fire, in case they escape the search and destroy mission on their own stomping ground.

4116 days since 01/30/2005 when John Kerry promised, on national TV, to sign form SF-180 and release his military records. Still waiting, Johnboy!

If they came right out and said their goal is the destruction of America, people wouldn’t vote for them.

Unfortunately, if free stuff was involved, some still would.
