Powerful! The sixties brought forth the worst in so many people. Thank goodness, we also had William F Buckley to explain reality.

Kerry's words:

"To attempt to justify the loss of one American life in Vietnam, Cambodia, or Laos by linking such loss to the preservation of freedom . . . is . . . the height of criminal hypocrisy, and it is that kind of hypocrisy which we feel has torn this country apart." It is then, we reason retrospectively, not alone an act of hypocrisy that caused the joint chiefs of staff and the heads of the civilian departments engaged in strategic calculations to make the recommendations they made over the past ten years, to three Presidents of the United States: it was not merely hypocrisy, but criminal hypocrisy. The nature of that hypocrisy? "All," Mr. Kerry sums up, "that we were told about the mystical war against Communism."

To the people of the left, America's antipathy to communism was always the greatest sin.

I wonder haow many of this Class of '71 went to Viet Nam and how many came home?

I also wonder how many of today's 'voters' know that half of Kerry's service over there was as an officer on a large ship?
