It is clear - what the John Kerry and the Democrats are doing is NOT patriotism, it's treasonous MURDER. Why are we so hesitant to say this? Why are we apologetic when we should be outraged?
Ralph Peters of illuminates this brilliantly in his New York Post editorial:
-----
"September 23, 2004 -- Taking comfort from Kerry: Celebrating in Baghdad under the black flag of Abu Mussab al-Zarqawi's group around a burning U.S. tank. AFP
IMAGINE if, in the presidential election of 1944, the candidate opposing FDR had insisted that we were losing the Second World War and that, if elected, he would begin to withdraw American troops from Europe and the Pacific.
We would have called it treason. And we would have been right.
In WWII, broadcasts from Tokyo Rose in Japan and from Axis Sally in Germany warned our troops that their lives were being squandered in vain, that they were dying for big business and "the Jew" Roosevelt.
Today, we have a presidential candidate, the conscienceless Sen. John Kerry, doing the work of the enemy propagandists of yesteryear.
Is there nothing Kerry won't say to win the election? Is there no position he won't change? Doesn't he care anything for the sacrifices of our troops in Iraq?
And if he does care about our soldiers and Marines, why is he broadcasting remarks that insist - against all hard evidence - that the terrorists are winning?"
-----
This must be made clear, somehow, some way. Does anyone remember March of 2004? Before the Democrats began their onslaught against the war in Iraq? Deaths, though still grievously mourned, slowed dramatically; the reconstruction was well underway. A hopeful beginning was being unveiled. Then Teddy Kennedy stood up and declared, out of the blue, that Iraq was "our Vietnam" - and suddenly all hell broke loose. Deaths in April skyrocketed. The enemy saw an out - and they have continued to pound us, believing that if they could just cause enough bloodshed, the American public would demand a withdrawal...
just like they did in Vietnam.
I wonder who gave them that idea?
Let us be honest, finally, about who gave them that idea...
John Kerry slaughtered one generation of American soldiers in Vietnam, using this same tactic - slander the soldier, slander the cause, and promise to meet the enemy on their own terms. His meeting in Paris effectively extended the war by one year, causing the deaths of 20,000 American Soldiers.
Now he comes again, damning the war, denigrating the soldier, bending towards Baghdad with promises of withdrawal and capitulation.
I'll be damned if he does it on my watch.
It's time somebody called out this treasonous liar for what he is - a murdering narcissist who cares nothing for peace, nothing for truth, and everything for himself. John Kerry is backed by a group of leftist thugs who love nothing more than to burn down a village in the name of peace, or to beat up a soldier in the name of tolerance. These pigs are at it again, and they think they can get away with it...
They're wrong. This ends here. NOW.
How many American soldiers have to die before these slavering ghouls will stop? They gather around the glowing candles, drooling over the dead while they weep for the camera. But when real mourners come to grieve, they draw back their lips to reveal fangs, savaging the true victims.
The Left loves the blood. Every dead American Soldier is one more notch in their ideological gun, one more reason to raze the nation. They love to tear down, to destroy, to wreck in the name of "protest". They love to spew venom in the name of "free speech". Theirs is no sorrow for the dead - just the sadistic, onanistic joy they feel in knowing that another American Soldier has died.
What a photo op! What a thrill! What a pleasure to know that the "grim milestone" has been reached - why, surely they can get a photo-op out of this one! The Leftists fly to the graveside to find some weeping relatives to interview -
and they descend, vultures feeding off the raw emotion of the living left behind.
How many American Soldiers must die to satisfy the Left? How many more will be killed to expedite the Left's rise to power? How many more must fall before we realize that Kerry's criticisms and calls to withdraw are really the causes of their deaths?
This is not patriotism. It never was. It is just as wrong today as it was thirty years ago, and it will still be just as wrong a hundred years from now. It is not patriotism; it is treason, it is murder, and it is OVER. John Kerry at last must be called by his true names, and by his fruits he must be known - liar, traitor, murderer of the American Soldier.
The time has come to call it treason.
If it is not treason, exactly what term is it?
I do! I will!

Direct quote from a terrorist. They believe beheadings will help Kerry win the election.
I remember how all of us got worked up in '96 trying to get Clinton canned. The harder we seemed to yell, the higher his poll numbers grew.
Bush seems to be doing well. Maybe we should'nt rock the boat and look like we're the opposite of Michael Moore.
Not that we actually ARE like Michael Moore. But the people who don't pay any attention except the day before the election, the swing people who actually make the difference, THEY will see us that way if we become too shrill.
Main Entry: se·di·tion Pronunciation: si-'di-sh&n Function: noun Etymology: Middle English, from Middle French, from Latin sedition-, seditio, literally, separation, from se- apart + ition-, itio act of going, from ire to go -- more at SECEDE, ISSUE : incitement of resistance to or insurrection against lawful authority
The question is:
Just what would Kerry have to do,
or admit to having done,
for joe sixpack or sally soccermom
to be willing to consider him
"unpatriotic"?
And has he already crossed that line?
I agree - were this coming from a public figure or politician, it would be certainly considered to be extreme. That is the reason they will never say it.
I'm just an average person with a website, and sometimes the truth must told. Cassandra at Troy doesn't expect to be believed, but still she must speak the truth...
bttt
"And has he already crossed that line?"
Unpatriotic? This creep has been a TRAITOR since 1970.
Mike Savage would call it a mental illness known as liberalism.
If Jane Fonda can make a fortune in this country selling exercise videos after what she did in Vietnam -- without facing any criminal prosecution for treason -- then I'd be hard-pressed to identify anything that qualifies as treason anymore.
> This creep has been a TRAITOR since 1970.
Before that. Since high school if not earlier.
Anyway, you and I know that, but the point of
"what would it take" questions is to see if
there's any point whatever in talking with
someone about it.
If there is nothing that Kerry could do, short
of literally admitting to being a traitor, that
would cause your conversational partner to
independently conclude it, don't waste any
further time with them.
Kennedy's right, it's now a repeat of Vietnam, with Kerry at the frontlines and committing precisely the sort of treason he did then.
And let's not forget that in inspiring the enemy, Kerry also is complicit in the deaths of innocent Iraqis, just as he was responsible in part for the deaths of 2,000,000 Cambodians and the tens of thousands of Vietnamese slaughtered after April 1975 (forget about those 600,000 sent for reeducation and the 25 years of misery brought to all of the South Vietnamese people)
This is a damn strong editorial. There are parts of it that I wish Bush would quote at the debate with Kerry.
Americans need to be woken up and this would do it like a Zell Miller speech!
Amen to that, dandelion. Kerry's record AFTER he returned from Vietnam is what should hang him. There can be no question to the fact that he did meet with the enemy and what he did and said harmed our soldiers held as prisoners, not to mention the fact that it prolonged the war and caused the deaths of 20,000 of our countrymen. He should have been prosecuted - yet, he wasn't. IT IS TREASON!
