...we are probably angriest about all that we were told about Vietnam and about the mystical war against communism.
We found most people didn't even know the difference between communism and democracy.
...if you read carefully the President's last speech to the people of this country, you can see that he says, and says clearly:
"But the issue, gentlemen,the issue is communism, and the question is whether or not we will leave that country to the Communists or whether or not we will try to give it hope to be a free people."
But the point is they are not a free people now under us. They are not a free people, and we cannot fight communism all over the World, and I think we should have learned that lesson by now.
Senator, I will say this. I think that politically, historically, the one thing that people try to do, that society is structured on as a whole, is an attempt to satisfy their felt needs, and you can satisfy those needs with almost any kind of political structure, giving it one name or the other. In this name it is democratic; in others it is communism; in others it is benevolent dictatorship. As long as those needs are satisfied, that structure will exist.
If it had been up to Kerry we would NOT have won the cold war.
Now, we need to fight terrorism. Kerry thinks UN approval is more important, than defending ourselves.
How can we trust him now, to defend us and win THIS War on Terror.
In his entire career, Kerry voted against the defense systems, which won the cold war and are winning the war on terror today.
DID YOU GET THE MEMO?
Kerry's Defense Vision Laid Out In 1984 Campaign Memo: Cut, Cut, Cut, Cancel, Cancel, Cancel
http://commrnc.grassroots.com/resources/kerry1984defensememo.pdf
Same sex "marriages" would be the same thing, taking money in the form of taxes for practices that most Americans don't condone.
Stem cell research being funded by the federal government would be the same sort of a situation.
Foreign aid to pay for abortion would also be this sort of a problematic use of federal funds.
Kerry has followed the path to taxation without representation every chance he got. His attitude has always been, "If you can't beat the communists, join them."
Self serving, egotistical, liberal that would lead our beloved country into a nation of retreat.
Abandoning leadership on the world stage, turning the issues that affect our very survival over to the world court of public opinion.
In a nutshell, the entire socialist/dem philosophy.
Kerry is either ignorant or a communist, or both.
No sane person thinks that there is no difference between communism and democracy for the people who live under that form of government.
Thank goodness The Gipper didn't subscribe to Jean Fraude Kerri's philosophy.
john f. kerry(not capitolised on purpose) as seen in the April 22nd, 1971 testimony to the Senate foreign Relations Committee, was improperly wearing his uniform.
Disgraceful conduct, especially for an Officer(kerry was still in the inactive Naval Reserve at the time).
john f. kerry was in grossly improper uniform during his Senate testimony, 22 April, 1971.
1.) Improper Hair Length while in uniform.(Way out of regulation hair length while in uniform)
2.) Improper uniform wear.
a. Utility uniforms are meant for work areas only. not for formal(Such as a Senate Hearing) attire.
b. Awards(Ribbons which signify medals and devices) are prohibited from being worn on utility uniforms. (badges in cloth form excepted.)
c. Awards(Ribbons and devices) are worn on Semi-Dress and Full Dress Uniforms only, NOT utility uniforms.
d. Medals are worn on Mess Dress Uniforms only.
22 April, 1971, john f. kerry(an Officer in the Naval Reserve), by the blatant act of his improper uniform wear as well as his treasonous testimony was showing his complete contempt for the United States and United States Military. Further aggravated by the slanderous words he(kerry) uttered about his fellow servicemen, which were used by the enemy in torturing our prisoners in the infamous Hanoi Hilton!!!!
Here's some pertinent kerry history!!!!
Below is excerpted statements to Congress, 22 April, 1971 by Lt. John F. Kerry USNR(Inactive Reserve Status).
"Mr. KERRY. My feeling, Senator, is undoubtedly this Congress, and I don't mean to sound pessimistic, but I do not believe that this Congress will, in fact, end the war as we would like to, which is immediately and unilaterally and, therefore, if I were to speak I would say we would set a date and the date obviously would be the earliest possible date. But I would like to say, in answering that, that I do not believe it is necessary to stall any longer. I have been to Paris. I have talked with both delegations at the peace talks, that is to say the Democratic Republic of Vietnam and the Provisional Revolutionary Government and of all eight of Madam Binh's points it has been stated time and time again, and was stated by Senator Vance Hartke when he returned from Paris, and it has been stated by many other officials of this Government, if the United States were to set a date for withdrawal the prisoners of war would be returned."
Furhter paired down to:
"I have been to Paris. I have talked with both delegations at the peace talks, that is to say the Democratic Republic of Vietnam and the Provisional Revolutionary Government and of all eight of Madam Binh's points..."(kerry and his VVAW negotiated in Paris with the then enemy.)
Stated by kerry to Our U.S. Congress which is in the Official Congressional Record, 22 April, 1971.
I'll let ALL of you think your own thoughts about this, however, I cannot for the life of me, picture kerry in any elected office, never mind being Commander in Chief!!!!
Why kerry was not indicted, tried and convicted for Treason and Sedition under the appropriate Articles, We will never know.
The Media SHAMELESSLY hides this TRUTH(In the Congressional Record, dated 22 April, 1971) from the Public!!!! They are equally Treasonous and Seditionous as kerry is!!!!This Blatant Example of the media shows that we no longer have a FREE and TRUTHFUL Press(Straight ALL the Way LEFT of Center)!!!!
kerry had his VVAW which led to the deaths of thousands or hundreds of thousands of deaths in Viet Nam, Laos and Cambodia after he and his VVAW accomplished their mission in getting U.S. withdrawal in South Viet Nam. kerry and his VVAW forever tarnished the image of U.S. Viet Nam Vets!!!!
The Democratic Party is no longer the Democratic Party!!!! For them to select kerry and his two forunners Clinton and Gore show they have become the party of our enemies!!!!
We cannot ALLOW this to STAND!!!!

You're right! Kerry spent his Senate career in the late '80s trying to insure that the United States did not win the Cold War. That's what the Reps should be proclaiming this week. Kerry's testimony linked to his Senate voting record. Let him NUANCE that!!!
That thought, put in another perspective, is not original to Kerry (as if anything is):
"..and accordingly all experience hath shown , that man-kind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed."................The Declaration of Independence, 4ht. Paragraph.
The Founding Fathers question the wisdom of suffering, unjustly, as long as the; "evils are sufferable". Kerry argues for the opposite conclusion. Kerry would have been a "Red Coat".
a bump for BUSH and http://www.swiftvets.com/
Sorry, ERF, but I spent from 62 til 69 at university in B.C.
My experiences with the 'student' leftist toadies then do not put me in the mood now to forgive their intellectual and moral trespasses.
So JF'nK needs his *ss kicked, along with thousands of his comrades.
Fortunately, the Vets are doing it without my help. ;^)
Did you not see my post 2?
Exactly. John Kerry is nothing more than a Jimmy Carter with a New England accent (and a droll tone).
If it had been up to Kerry we would NOT have won the cold war.
You can bet that Kerry feels that Islamic terrorism is inevitible, and there is no point in fighting it. The fact that communism was defeated and discredited in no way redeems America in Kerry's eyes. His unconscious contempt for all things American leads him to cling to the belief that anything else, French, communist, Islamic, etc, as being inherently more genuine and noble.
So how do you feel about Stasi informants? Their youthful acts are forgivable, even if they send good people to the Gulag?
So, he was just a litte "over the top." Besides, they weren't his words; he overheard other people saying that at a meeting. And we have to stop living in the 70's.
Oh, and did you know Kerry was in Vietnam?
