JOHN KERRY: RESOLVED TO BE IRRESOLUTE -- Our Post-Modern Neville Chamberlain!

ICONOCLAST ^ | Stephen Rittenberg

Why do utopian fantasies like Communism and Socialism persist, even after they have been calamitous failures in the real world? Why should organizations like the UN be looked to admiringly by the John Kerrys of the world, long after they've been shown to be vast criminal enterprises? Why does the New York Times regularly run glowing obits for dying members of the Communist Internationale? Why did so many cheer Neville Chamberlain's return from Munich with "Peace in our time"? The answer lies in the liberal mind's inability to face and deal with the dark side of human nature -- the murderous aggression whose gratification suffuses the faces of Muslim beheaders of infidels..............

Tells it like it is. Kerry as president will be the biggest disaster for America and the world. Get ready for the Third Islamist Reich!

"...Kerry is our Neville Chamberlain, assuring us that we are not really at war, that the seeming conflict is all a misunderstanding that can be cleared up with a little clever diplomacy, and that he will bring us "peace in our time..."

Neville Chamberlain at least was up front in his belief (wrong though it nay have been).
J(flip flop)K is willing to lie about his position when he feels the situation will be to his advantage.

Indeed. Thanks

...Basically Kerry wants to return to his nap and Bush wants him and the rest of us to stay awake. This is an eternal, recurring struggle rooted in human nature. Our utopian enemies are enraged at us for reminding them of their own primitive inadequacies and centuries of failure. They are even more dangerous than were Hitler and Stalin because of their billion plus Muslim co-religionists and the easy availability of WMD's. They want a perfect sharia world where nothing ever changes and bliss resides in Allah's perfect presence.

These utopian fanatics find allies in our own utopian liberals who, like the 1930's pacifists, seek to transcend human nature, to live in a world free of human aggression, and thereby become "objective" allies of radical Islamists. So this election, once again brings a clash between the sleep seeking utopians and the modern day Churchillians telling us we are at war...

The clarity of the choice was made evident in the now-famous recent Kerry profile by an admiring NY Times Magazine reporter [Matt Bai]. Everyone should read it to learn how the forceful debater turns into an irresolute, unprincipled politician who can't even decide what bottled water he prefers. William Tucker, deconstructing the profile, nails it perfectly when he writes: "...Kerry is our Neville Chamberlain, assuring us that we are not really at war, that the seeming conflict is all a misunderstanding that can be cleared up with a little clever diplomacy, and that he will bring us "peace in our time..." See the rest here.

Nailed It!
Moral Clarity BUMP !

This ping list is not author-specific for articles I'd like to share. Some for perfect moral clarity, some for provocative thoughts; or simply interesting articles I'd hate to miss myself. (I don't have to agree with the author 100% to feel the need to share an article.) I will try not to abuse the ping list and not to annoy you too much, but on some days there is more of good stuff that is worthy attention. I keep separate PING lists for my favorite authors Victor Davis Hanson, Lee Harris, David Warren, Orson Scott Card. You are welcome in or out, just freepmail me (and note which PING list you are talking about).
