This is a very long 8-page article, and the above is only a brief excerpt.
Reading this article, I felt like freepers have totally succeeded in convincing the Dem Party that Kerry is a loser. So, score another one for FR.
Unfit John Kerry is a Maoist, a UN whore, a detached-from-the-people-elite demagogue, a self-entitled aristocRAT, and, (!) AND a Viet Cong war hero! Thank God for his free speech exercise because Kerry's free speech exposes under critical parsing his convoluted thinking process and disordered cognition...as well as his having a strong streak of treasonous ideation. Kerry is a disgraceful American and senator. Here in New England the best that REAL PEOPLE can say about John Kerry is that he is a prime phony.
This despicable Kerry is so unworthy of being a senator for 20 years!!! He consults with named enemies and presumes cabals with international adversary interests. Kerry's anti-free speech mafioso-courtiers attempted threats, extortion, and other oppressive means to prevent any (FREE SPEECH) adverse truthful facts and criticism about John Kerry. John Kerry can buy anything but he cannot buy the infinite TRUTH. AND, furthermore into my rant, Kerry has a *THING* for France's president Chirac! (!wink!wink!) Howard Dean is just insane; John Kerry, who would seek "global consensus" to set policies for America, is a by his very expressed idea proves Kerry is a menace.
For those who "forgot" what Hanoi Kerry
did in the past read on and learn the truth.
Hanoi Kerry was still a USNR officer while he:
gave false hearsay testimony to Congress
negotiated with the enemy
helped the US lose a war
abetted in the deaths of millions
created a hostile environment for all servicemen

Stolen Valor Act of 2005 (Introduced in House)
HR 3352 IH
109th CONGRESS
1st Session
H. R. 3352
To amend title 18, United States Code, with respect to protections for the Medal of Honor, and for other purposes.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
July 19, 2005
Mr. SALAZAR introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary
A BILL
To amend title 18, United States Code, with respect to protections for the Medal of Honor, and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the `Stolen Valor Act of 2005'.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds that--
(1) fraudulent claims surrounding receipt of the Medal of Honor, the Distinguished-Service Cross, the Air Force Cross, the Navy Cross, the Purple Heart, or any other medal or decoration awarded by Congress or the armed forces damage the reputation and meaning of these medals;
(2) Federal law enforcement officers are currently limited in their ability to prosecute fraudulent claims of receipt of military medals; and
(3) changes to the current statute are necessary to allow law enforcement personnel to protect the reputation and meaning of these medals.
SEC. 3. MILITARY MEDAL PROTECTIONS.
Section 704 of title 18, United States Code, is amended--
(1) in subsection (a)--
(A) by inserting `purchases, attempts to purchase, solicits for purchase, mails, ships, imports, exports, produces blank certificates of receipt,' after `wears'; and
(B) by inserting `attempts to sell, advertises for sale, trades, barters or exchanges for anything of value' after `sells';
(2) in subsection (b)(1), by inserting `or (b)' after `subsection (a)'
(3) by redesignating subsection (b) as subsection (c);
(4) by inserting after subsection (a) the following:
`(b) False Claims About Receipt of Military Medals- Whoever falsely represents himself or herself, verbally or in writing, to have been awarded any decoration or medal authorized by Congress for the armed forces of the United States, or any of the service medals or badges awarded to the members of such forces, or the ribbon, button, or rosette of any such badge, decoration or medal, or any colorable imitation thereof shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than six months, or both.'; and
(5) by adding at the end the following:
`(d) Other Medals- If a decoration or medal involved in an offense under subsection (a) or (b) is a Distinguished Service Cross awarded under Section 3742 of title 10, an Air Force Cross awarded under section 8742 of section 10, a Navy cross awarded under section 6242 of title 10, a silver star awarded under section 3746, 6244, or 8746 of title 10, or a Purple Heart awarded under section 1129 of title 10, or any replacement or duplicate medal as authorized by statute, in lieu of the punishment provided in that subsection, the offender shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than 1 year, or both.'.
"From Ray Funderburk, MOPH
The greatest threat to the sanctity and significance of the Purple Heart comes from the medal's easy availability. Anyone can buy one at flea markets, pawnshops or on the Internet, where Web sites offer the decoration, no questions asked, for as little as $35. An accompanying certificate on onion skin parchment and personalized with your name and any rank you choose costs about $25.
Such commerce in the symbols of American courage and sacrifice would be outlawed by a measure spearheaded last July by Rep. John Salazar, D-Colo.
His "Stolen Valor Act" would make it a federal crime to falsely wear the Purple Heart and other top military decorations, or to even list them on a resume if they were not officially earned.
But the proposed bill now sits in the House Judiciary Committee, and its fate remains unclear.
"We're waiting for the committee to act," said Salazar

Any Republican or Democrat politicians who don't get this bill passed is
as guilty as the phonies that this bill targets.
The Swift Boat Vets already proved, beyond a doubt,
that hanoi kerry's 1st Purple Heart is fraudulent.
A US Attorney General can get ALL of hanoi kerry's
records and once and for all prove that the
Swift Boat Vets were accurate and true.
All that has to be done is to get this bill passed and signed into law now, before the '06 election.
Since hanoi kerry will be under indictment he'll
have to sit out the '06 election for his illegal seat
in the US Senate.
AND the best part is that it is a Democrat sponsored
bill that will his downfall.

and be signed by President Bush
BEFORE the '06 elections.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1345603/posts"Among former Kerry staffers, thereÂ’s particular anger over his refusal during the campaign to release his complete military record, which fueled conspiracy theories and made it nearly impossible to shoot them down. After the election, Kerry finally agreed to release everything. Reporters—and his aides—were stunned to find there was nothing to hide." Really? What about Form-180?
