Ping...Jon, maybe some rumination in the Stein-brain and some additional research can break this into the WashTimes?
Not competing with your analysis anytime soon, but throwing it out there for review.
"all 4 months and 11 days of it-- in Vietnam"
Since the tour in Vietnam was a year, will Kerry serve only 1/3 of his term if he's elected?
Nice analysis. It unfortunately appears that when it comes to US interests and security, Kerry is on the wrong side...all the time. Whether it's direct interventon (Vietnam/Gulf War) or peripheral interventon and support (Nicaragua), Kerry doesn't seem to think anything is worth fighting for. This is a man who said communism wasn't a threat and that the war on terror was an exaggeration. I even think it's safe to say that his most recent vote in support, was nothing but political oppurtunism. The man is a danger to this country.
I have that memory which is seared--seared--in me, that says to me, before we send another generation into harm's way we have a responsibility in the U.S. Senate to go the last step, to make the best effort possible in order to avoid that conflict."
In this statement alone there are many lies:
He was not in Cambodia. Even if he was, it wasn't on Christmas of 1968. No Swift Boats were in Cambodia at any time. President Nixon was not in office on Christmas Day 1968. The Khmer Rouge were not a force to be reckoned with until 1972. He stated that the vietnamese and Cambodians were celebrating Christmas, but Vietnamese and Cambodians are Budhists or Hindus. They would not be celebrating Christmas.
This should tell everyone that this person, John F. Kerry is a habitual liar, and will say anything to sell his viewpoint even knowing that these lies will be found out in the future. He only thinks about the present moment and cares less about the consequences of his lies. That is why he chose a law-suit lawyer as his running mate. They are two peas in a pod. They only think of themselves and no one else. NO ONE ELSE!
.......and 1+ months of that 4 month tour was spent in orientation before becoming a Swift Boat Officer. So combat wise, he only spent 3 months in combat situations in Vietnam.....the ONLY SWIFT BOAT Sailor who did NOT serve his entire tour of duty in Vietnam.
If I had to describe Kerry in 1 word: unprincipled.
First of all, the U.S.A (Capitalized) is not a democracy. It is a "Republic". Second, Germany, Japan, Phillipines, Poland, France, Spain, Portugal and all the other nations that we liberated from tyranny DO NOT HAVE THE U.S. "democracy" you claim we forced on them. No other nation has the rights and privileges that we have. What is a nationalist conservative? Is this the same as a RINO? If you are willing to "fight and die for this American dream for YOUR children, why do you want to deprive it for OTHER CHILDREN AROUND THE WORLD? Me thinks you have been infected with the disease that is spreading rampantly among liberal demonrats and it's called foot in mouth disease.
On Kerry's campaign website, the Bay State's junior senator claims he deserves credit for "holding Oliver North accountable and exposing the fraud and abuse at the heart of the BCCI scandal." In speeches and interviews, he goes even further -- alleging that he "blew the whistle" on my "illegal activities" in support of the Nicaraguan Contras. It's great fodder for the political left and hard-core radicals. It might even leave Ivy League professors panting. There is only one problem: It's not true.
John Kerry wasn't even on the so-called bipartisan congressional committee that spent months investigating the so-called Iran-Contra affair. He never asked me, or any of us involved in supporting the Nicaraguan democratic resistance, a single question. At no time did he question me or anyone else I worked with about our efforts to rescue Americans from dungeons in Beirut. He says he held me accountable? How? When? Where?
Perhaps one of the eager newshounds panting after Kerry will ask him. And maybe Kerry -- or more likely someone on his extensive campaign staff -- will produce some convoluted answers. They may even cite some subcommittee hearings that Kerry held months after the close of the official investigation. His little witch hunt eventually did publish a report that was so incredibly biased as to give the word "slander" an inadequate definition.
< snip >
More likely, the masters of the mainstream media salivating over Kerry will give him yet another free pass on these questions -- like so many others. Unlike President Bush, who has now laid bare his entire record of military service, Kerry has apparently never had to do so. This leads inevitably to the kind of confused hyperbole in the articles attached to the Kerry campaign website.
Kerry and his cronies in the Democratic Party have made Vietnam an issue in this campaign. They have slandered Bush for his service during the war. Until Kerry truthfully answers the questions above -- and a whole lot more about his actions during the war -- many of us are going to wonder what the middle initial "F" in John F. Kerry stands for. Is it "Fiction"? Or is it simply "False"?
Parties Involved: North Vietnamese/Viet Cong/Khmer Rouge vs. South Vietnamese/U.S. - add Russia & China to the other side.
Parties Involved: USSR/Sandinistas vs. Contras/U.S. - add Cuba

Someone should ask Kerry:
What if you are President and you want out of a difficult situaion?
What does it take 3 of to leave with your tail tucked? Not purple hearts, but what?
Consider: Like Moore, Kerry is into ego-driven documentaries. Exaggeration, distortion, and outright whoppers are the 'canvas' on which they do their best work. A fondness for Ho Chi Minh, and the once-ravishing Hanoi Jane (Fonda). And despite stories that have more holes than a moth-eaten black Chappaqua pantsuit, when caught in the lie, they'll be the first to say you're attacking their patriotism.
Who knows, the next thing Kerry will tell us is he was Vice Chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee.

As Kerry said,
As Grampa Dave says: "Christmas, 1968: Kerry with his Swift Boat Crew
in Scambodia. Kerry is wearing his CIA hat that came from Richard Nixon
a month before Nixon was sworn in as President."
Good heavens! Where are you getting this empire crap from?
And, to be kind, in the liberals' mind, their job is not "to not to bitch at conservatives". It is "to rule". They'd rather we conservatives just shut up and go away.
And just what is a "nationalist conservative" anyway? Are you a dues-paying member of the Buchanan Jugend, or something?
