IMAGINE if, in the presiden tial election of 1944, the can didate opposing FDR had in sisted 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?
Has he seen the situation with his own eyes? I'll gladly tell him how to get there. I'll even be his guide. And he can smell what remains of Saddam's mass graves — with new ones still being discovered. He can taste the joy of freedom among the Kurds. He can see the bustling commerce throughout the country — despite the violence that alone makes headlines.
Above all, he could see the magnificent performance of our troops, their dedication and professionalism. And their humanity, their goodness.
But Kerry doesn't want to see those things. He's reverting to form. Just as he lied about our troops three decades ago, encouraging our enemies of the day and worsening the suffering of our POWs in North Vietnam, today he's pandering to a new enemy.

Damned if he didn't return from his tenuous grasp on reality for this one. Maybe he's remembering how he got where he is.No Longer Free State
On target.
Thanks for the heads up. I did not see it but it is really terrific article that some folks may have missed in the last 24 hours. Sometimes so many articles on FR makes it hard ot read all of them.
Again, thank you.

I did not see it but it is really terrific article that some folks may have missed in the last 24 hours. Sometimes so many articles on FR makes it hard ot read all of them.
"Tokyo Rose Kerry"
"Bagdad Rose Kerry"?
I had done a search, and did notice that it had been posted in the wee hours. I only saw one, and when my husband said it was a very good article and suggested posting it again. We both have seen and heard from others that there are reposts if it is good.
Anyway, nothing was intended with malice or rudness. Thus, Moderator if you feel this thread should be shut down I totally understand. I certainly had good intentions.
I think that reposts done circumspectly are fine. Some articles posted at odd times get barely any response and then the reposts are very popular. Thanks.
Bump for later reading.
Thus, it maybe an excellent article but by the time folks get home from work, unless pinged, it makes it hard to find those that interest you (from hours ago). Of course this is mho.
The other day I had post this:
A Kerry for a Nader? Vote-trading gears up
I was told if folks did not see it to repost later. I didn't but recalled that guidance.
Some days I am only on FR for a half hour or so. I have seen alot of good articles that were reposted that I otherwise never would have seen. What is annoying are the pseudo post police who clutter threads with their scorn.
I am certainly glad that you spend some time on FR offering your point of view on various threads, thank you.
I am not familliar with the "pseudo police" exactly which folks on FR would that be.
Again thank you!
AND
Meanwhile, Kerry has assembled the most despicable cast of has-beens and failed officials in campaign history. He's represented by the likes of Jamie Rubin — a Clintonite who so loved America that he moved to London, returning to our shores only to tell real Americans how we need to vote.
Putting Rubin on the talk-show circuit demonstrates how badly the Democratic elite is out of touch with the country it claims to represent. With his permanent sneer and his condescending snicker, Rubin represents nearly all that working Americans — and our troops — despise about today's Dems.
Ralph being Ralph !
It was a very good read. Thanks!
