"Yippie!!!! John Kerry is running for President!!!!"----(READ...BEFORE you ZOT!)
Lost in the Nevada Desert....... | 9/18/04 | redrock

Posted on 09/19/2004 3:53:13 PM PDT by redrock

"It's past midnite said Charles the grinning boy..."
Blue Oyster Cult

For over 30 years...Vietnam Veterans..(and let's be honest here...EVERY veteran is included in John Kerrys statements..as Viet Vets were TRAINED by Korean Veterans...by WWII Veterans..so they are implicated too.) have had a 900 pound gorilla on their backs. They have had the "Scarlet Letter" squarely placed on their foreheads...telling the world that they (in the world of John Kerry) are "..killers and rapists."

For the entire time we have had to live with the knowledge in our hearts that when we said we served in Vietnam...in the backs of peoples minds sprang the word..."babykiller...or rapist."

True, John Kerry did NOT start the movement that painted us as evil, but he did give it a solid base...he did make it a very real thing in some peoples minds.

More than anyone alive today...he made it legitimate to call us those things.

As he is quick to tell you (I can imagine him telling every waiter he finds)..he did serve in Vietnam...and for four long months at that. To the world at large him saying those things about us...made it real.Made it something that those who hate America could run with.

For over 30 years we have had to take the blows...the hits. And we have been hit time and time again. It is now a T.V. and Movie standard that we are all mental defectives...who spent our time in the military roasting small children...just for the fun of it. It is now a cultural standard that,somehow, all of those of us who served in Vietnam....became unhinged and just became plain killers.

But now....(Yippie!!)John Kerry is running for President.

Now John Kerry has placed, and continues to place, his hopes of becoming President on those four long months in Vietnam. He's a "Hero" don't ya know????

But, as is evidenced by the "Swift Boat" ads....it is now our time to fight back.

It is now our time to remember all of those times when we were spit on...or had blood thrown on the uniforms that we proudly wore....and give it back.

Now it is our time to hit back.

We're all older now, those who served in Vietnam, with gray or white hair in place of the blond or brown.

With bodies that are starting to find more than a few reasons NOT to go on that long hike in the mountains.

Some of us (and in this area I would have to include myself) are terrified of re-visiting those times. Afraid of the demons that we no longer feel strong enough to withstand.

..and yet...we have one more 'tour of duty'.(Thanks Tonk!!)

One more time we have to put on the uniform of our Nation and fight for what we believe in...for our families...for our Country.

...and we will KNOW when we have achieved Victory.

We will know when we have re-claimed that Honour that was denied us.

We will know when the 'Scarlet Letter' is removed from our foreheads.

That day will be when we see John Kerry lose this election...when we view him behind the podium for one last time...admitting defeat.

For on that day all that he has said and done will be plainly revealed (even to the idiot liberals) that all he as said and done was a lie.

Time to hit back.

Only a few more weeks on this 'tour of duty'.

Ditto to everything you said Sallysconcerns! I remember, as a 14 year old - hating the antiwar protesters. I remember wonderful young men in my small town who were like heroes to me - those young men who were serving in Vietnam to whom my Aunt and her sister sent boxes of needed items and goodies. And just last year, I stood with my arm around the shoulders of a Vietnam vet who cried as he told me of the lies told about them and the horrible reception he received when he got home.

Yes, I hope sKerry goes straight to hell for the lies he told and the pain he caused!

And I will take great pleasure in watching him lose in November. I hope it's by a landslide so that he gets the message!

I need a little help here.

As closely as I have been following the Swift Vets, I have seen zero direct repudiation of their allegations, nor that of "Unfit for Duty." But in the the last few days' Pravda (LAT) I have read several columns that suggest such repudiation has taken place.

Did I miss something major? I need to know befoe I blow up some guy at work (in argumentation).

NOTHING...has been refuted by Kerry.

But...the Liberals think that they can make people believe that it has..if they just keep pretending.

NOTHING has been refuted by Kerry.

I'm more of a "type in my boxers" sorta guy, but I'm going to post my own "Pajama Patrol" badge above my desk, with y'all's permission... (my wife has pajamas, but she says y'all didn't mean that kind of patrolling... LOL!) Sorry - back to topic - we are both VERY proud of our Vets, Vietnam and otherwise - you guys have given all of America a huge gift - Thank you from two of your biggest Fans!

I never served in Vietnam.....in fact, I never even served one day in the military, but that doesn't stop me from being proud of the United States Military. To all of those who have served and are serving today, I thank you for what you have done for this country.

Last but not least, I want to thank my Uncle Bobby who passed away two years ago. Thank you Uncle Bobby for your service in Vietnam. The garbage you had to put up with when you came home allows me the opportunity to make sure it doesn't happen to those soldiers who are fighting in Iraq and Afghanastan.

I thought that they were just repeating the "false allegations" line over and over, but I wanted to make sure.

I am ready to sent a Letter to the Editor asking them to refrain from publishing articles with these lies (even editorials) until they can name WHAT SPECIFIC FACTS FROM THE SBVFT HAVE BEEN PROVEN FALSE!

Thanks -- I thought I was having a Senior Moment there.

"That day will be when we see John Kerry lose this election...when we view him behind the podium for one last time...admitting defeat."

I, for one, would like to view him BEHIND BARS for the atrocities he has admitted to and committed, against Vets, MIA's, POW's and the American public.

He should not be put behind a high security wall, either. He likes to be in the public eye. So, we should put him on view, a 24 hour videocam, in his own special zoo.

Lets dedicate this election to the fallen, tortured & MIA caused by Kerry and his fellow communist cronies that cost this great country the victory in Vietnam, and the scorn & burdens that our soldiers had to bear because his ilk made them out to be BabyKillers etc.

Definitely a huge part of what it's become for me. It wouldn't have been if Kerry hadn't been the Rats' "chosen one" but he's opened a lot of old, festering wounds that have never healed. I want to see him ground into the dirt by a Landslide.
