So why don't the media on our side get the huevos to expose more of what is going on?

Expose it? The media is a combination of two things. There are those who are deliberate participants in assisting the Kerry campaign. And there are those that have been indoctrinated in the public schools and universities of this country who lack historical perspective and believe moral clarity is dangerous and intolerant. Their orientation and singular goal is to read any misstep by the United States as evidence of the bankruptcy of our policy and leadership.

I have previously posted a part of Kerry's Senate Viet Nam testimony. It's a damning perspective and one that cannot be dismissed by youth or the passion of his advocacy since is entire public record says he continues to believe the same thing. Kerry was speaking about the foolishness of our military power against the phony threat of communism. He believed our focus was at the expense of the publics needs and this in turn made us vulnerable.

"...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 another. In this name it is democratic; in other it is communism; in others it is benevolent dictatorship. As long as those needs are satisfied, that structure will exist."

So, then as today, John Kerry does not see freedom and liberty or its defense as the defining success of a government or the primary scream of the individual. Instead he sees us a collection of needs to be met. Most damning is that he says democracy, communism and benevolent dictatorships are equally able to succeed.

sKerry said in the early 70's that we were waging some 'mystic war against Communism' as he pulled the NV/VC Communists Vietnamese bacon out of the fire...and now he's alligned with the World Communists of the UN, the EU, the M.E. and places from Nicaragua to North Korea.

BTW, does anyone know if pediatricians are required to ask children if their parents own firearms? TIA for the answer.
