Somewhere I have saved a, I think, newsmax article that talks about the book or writings that Kerrys dad wrote.

In said writing, RKerry blasts America for going out and warning about how bad communism was. It seems Kerry's father may have thought communism was a good idea.

I will look for the article.

There's some discussion of that in this article, which reproduces Franklin Foer's introduction to Richard Kerry's book:

Kerry's World: Father Knows Best

"Americans," he writes, "are inclined to see the world and foreign affairs in black and white." They celebrate their own form of government and denigrate all others, making them guilty of what he calls "ethnocentric accommodation -- everyone ought to be like us." As a result, America has committed the "fatal error" of "propagating democracy" and fallen prey to "the siren's song of promoting human rights," falsely assuming that our values and institutions are a good fit in the Third World. And, just as Americans exaggerate their own goodness, they exaggerate their enemies' badness. The Soviet Union wasn't nearly as imperialistic as American politicians warned, Kerry argues. "Seeing the Soviet Union as the aggressor in every instance, and the U.S. as only reacting defensively, relieves an American observer from the need to see any parallel between our use of military power in distant parts of the world, and the Soviet use of military power outside the Soviet Union," he writes. He further claims that "Third world Marxist movements were autonomous national movements" -- outside Moscow's orbit. The book culminates in a plea for a hardheaded, realist foreign policy that removes any pretense of U.S. moral superiority.

Thank you, read part of this and had to stop, this makes the picture of JFKerry so much more focused. I will complete reading after the knots in my stomach relax.

Many thanks for the ping and the articles!

I have come up with a new term,which applies to John Kerry and his sister Peggy and probably many more people.They are PINK DIAPER BABIES...not REDS,but awfully close.

We all must do EVERYTHING on our power,to make certain that this man (and I use the word very loosely!) is NEVER elected president!

Thanks, I'm glad to hear it helps focus the picture. I had a hard time focusing the article because there was *so* much information to summarize.

Useful term! Who knows for sure if his diapers were pink or red, but one thing's for sure: they stink!

We may well end up with a "commie" president, these people are playing for real and they do not care what it takes to get what they have been after all these years.

Unless Richard Kerry was a card carrying member of the American ( or other) Communist Party,then Jon's diapers are pink AND smelly! :-)

They got Clinton in there, and they came within inches with Gore in 2000. My sense is that with how close Gore came, they feel like it's time to go for broke, which is reflected in how Kerry is running his campaign.

Only he and the FBI would know! :) If I'd had more time to write this I would've done an FOIA on Richard Kerry's FBI files.

Thanks Fedora,
That is indeed the writing to which the newsmax article was listing.

It is very telling about Kerry, and many other modern democrats.

Kerry claims that his father was a giant impression for his views. The question must be raised...does John Kerry respect communism like his father did. His actions and statements since he started college seem to indicate that he does share that respect.

He has constantly taken the side of evil leaders. Whether be done by supporting and meeting with communist North Vietnam leaders, or supporting despots from places like Haiti where the leader brags about putting buring tires around the necks of people who speak out about atrocities.

This is true but neither of the Clintons nor Gore have this kind of pedigree.

JFKerry using "Vietnam" is very sinister given who it was that was funding North Vietnam, and how he with education and knowledge makes no bones about who he is allied with.

And then there's also his long-time support of the pro-Castro/pro-Sandinista lobby. Pt. 4 of the series will get into that.
