I'm trying to be sensible here but this Kerry quote, folks it bought tears to my eyes.
I have a grandson getting close to military age. Whatever his choice, know that I could never be less prideful should he choose the uniform of his country and serve it so bravely or strive for physician status.
For Kerry to have said what he said, I'm perfectly serious, I felt the pain those prideful and hopeful troops might feel when they hear about it. What a very mean slap in the face. A slap in the face to the best this country has to offer.
Ladies and gems, it's the Middle Class who supplies the soldiers to defend this country. Get it? The Middle Class, that great body of people who carry this country on their backs while struggling to raise the next generation of citizens and soldiers. In other words, it's US!
Sure we're just average schlubs, not blue-blooded like the great John F. Kerry. We obey the laws, we don't riot over cartoons, we work jobs and we keep this country neat and clean out here in la-la land. No country ever succeeds without a mighty but mostly productive Middle Class.
And here this man just reached out and slapped every one of us in the face. Slapped us and haughtily reminded us that we but a hoard of idiots existing to keep the likes of John Kerry and his ilk up at their proper social status as he sees it.
There is not enough anger in the universe as I feel for this despicable man and trying not to be too melodramatic, I apologize to our military right now for the words of this man. Not a single one of us carrying this country on our backs shares John Kerry's disdain. We admire our soldiers as it was US, America's mighty Middle Class, who supplied the soldiers. Our military will always be a source of our silly plebian pride and joy.
Hope some military guys see this.
