The Odyessy Ends For Vietnam Vets
The Nathan Hale Institute | November 4, 2004

Posted on 11/04/2004 10:07:28 AM PST by Capodsitrias

The Odyssey Ends For Vietnam Vets

They’re finally home and they kicked ass. Never defeated in a major battle in Vietnam, American Vietnam Vets finally came home this past Tuesday, November 2, 2004.

Led by John O’Neill and the Swift Boat Vets, America’s Vietnam Vets came home and threw the usurpers, the imposters and their leader out of the palace of our Republic and reclaimed their rightful place as our true heroes and leaders.

Their fellow citizens heard the truth of their words cloaked and ravaged for more than thirty years by the self-serving lies and slanders of pretend heroes.

Their intrepid spirit has been honored by the votes of millions of Americans who never forgot them and never wanted to believe the calumnies and lies of the usurpers.

On this coming Inauguration Day, the parade is not just for the re-election of our current commander-in-chief; it is the welcome home parade for our Vietnam Veterans, even the chastened Lt John Kerry.

God Bless the Swift Boat Vets, the POWs, the MIAs and all our Vietnam Vets.

A belated thank you from a grateful nation.

Bravo!!! God Bless the SwiftVets!

This isn't time to relax, though. The 'Rats are already promoting their version of the 2004 campaign, and the SwiftVets get dismissed as 'discredited Bush tactic'. Guess what story will get air time over the MainStreamMedia?

Don't let the MainStreamMedia get aways with it! Here is an example of the kind of MainStreamMedia spin the SwiftVet can expect. It is a quote from TIME magazine, pulled off Drudge. Note how it makes no specific claim, just implies Kerry had integrity:

http://www.drudgereport.com/flash5.htm
"KERRY: Waiting Too Long To Fight Back Against Swift Boat Veterans for Truth: Kerry’s handlers, led by pollster Mark Mellman and consultant Bob Shrum, had convinced themselves it was unwise to respond to the Swifties’ ads, which were running in only three states, because it would serve to amplify the phony charges. But Kerry was jolted to respond when, at the Veterans of Foreign Wars national convention in Cincinnati, Ohio, on Aug. 18, dozens of vets asked, "What are you waiting for? You gotta fight back!" Kerry was livid. The campaign quickly changed gears, TIME reports."

"A belated thank you from a grateful nation."


Amen!!

Their work should not be done, however, until the entire military record of Kerry is made public. Never again should there be a question in the minds of any American as to his record.

That record shows clearly that he publicly opposed the Vietnam War prior to entering the Navy; that he did not, as he claimed, "volunteer" in the sense that that term is used today, but that he only went into the Navy after he was refused a draft deferment to study in France (had he not "volunteered" for the Navy, he would have been drafted into the Army); and that his testimony and actions upon his return caused harm to be inflicted on those he left behind in Vietnam.

In his first campaign for public office in 1971-72, he laid out in the Harvard "Crimson" interview his firmly-held conviction that the CIA should be abolished and that American troops should be dispersed throughout the world only at the direction of the United Nations. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THIS SO-CALLED "FLIP-FLOPPER" HAS REMAINED TOTALLY CONSISTENT THROUGHOUT HIS POLITICAL CAREER IN THESE TWO BELIEFS,AS EVIDENCED BY HIS SENATE VOTING RECORD AND HIS RECENT DEVOTION TO A "GLOBAL TEST" FOR AMERICAN ACTION!!!

I would like to see one last thing come to conclusion..the discharge that Kerry was given..clear it up once and for all. If he comes around in 08 that issue is sure to rise again.

God Bless the Swiftees and all the Vietnam Veterans who completed their last mission and saved America from an unfit commander in chief.

We hope that this great victory was the parade you never got.

Yes, Nov 2 was a great battle victory!
But the war is NOT over.
I've seen on TV and heard on the Radio
attacks about Swift Boat Vets AFTER the election.
And what liars they are.
So closure is NOT going to happen for Viet Nam Vets, yet.
Time to expose Hanoi Kerry in the MSM once and for all!
Then Viet Nam Vets will FINALLY be vindicated.
THEN it will be over!

DON'T LET THIS STORY DIE!

THE story that
ABC, AP, CBS, CNN, FOX, MSNBC, NBC, NY Times
DON'T WANT AMERICA TO KNOW!

John Kerry's Discharge
He won't sign Form 180
What is he hiding?

Ex-Navy sec to Kerry: Open up your records
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=41230

NY Sun 11/01/04
Kerry's Discharge Is Questioned by An Ex-JAG Officer

http://www.nysun.com/article/4040

"There is overwhelming evidence that the Navy gave John Kerry either a dishonorable discharge
or an undesirable discharge – which is the equivalent of a dishonorable discharge
without the felony conviction – and that, as a result of such discharge,
he was stripped of all of his famous but questionable Navy awards and medals.

And the kicker? The evidence is on his website!"

http://worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=41200

BUT
ABC, AP, CBS, CNN, FOX, MSNBC, NBC, NY Times
made sure you knew about the Bush phony National Guard documents.

Q) Why did
ABC, AP, CBS, CNN, FOX, MSNBC, NBC, NY Times
NOT ask Kerry about why he wouldn't sign Form 180?

A) Because they are AFRAID of the REAL story!




EXPOSE HANOI KERRY!

Tonk, you are fighting the good fight. I personally appreciate all the posts and pings over the last few weeks. We do need to keep the pressure on.

SIGN THE 180!

His justice has been served to Mr. Kerry.

Kerry still has his cushy Senate seat, and five or so mansions for comfort. Living with that shrew Theresa is probably not so appetizing, but hey he still has 2 out of 3 good things, and that ain't bad.

I hope that the Swifties do not let up on this puke!

Amen.

I know it is an overused and sometimes trite phrase, but it really rings true now:

"God's wheels of Justice may appear slow, but they grind exceedingly fine."
