John Kerry's assault on this country did not rise fullblown in his mind, like Venus from the Cypriot Sea. It is the crystallization of an assault upon America which has been fostered over the years by an intellectual class given over to self-doubt and self-hatred, driven by a cultural disgust with the uses to which so many people put their freedom.

"He had it right 33 years ago and no one paid attention. Now look where we are."

People were too distracted by the Watergate proceedings against Nixon, and wanted the whole chapter closed. The left had won an important victory and Kerry is about to ask them to show their gratitude, by electing him president. This is probably what Jane Fonda promised him back in 1970.
