It looks like John Kerry will soon be our next Secretary of State. The initial nominee, Susan Rice, went down as a sacrificial lamb so that the Republicans can say that they got their pound of flesh and President Obama can get the person he probably wanted in the first place without the same intense scrutiny. The conspiracy theorist in me thinks that this was the same thing that President G.W. Bush did with his nomination of Harriet Meyers to the Supreme Court, but that's neither here nor there. I'm not even going to focus on how many ways Kerry's past statements on foreign policy make him incredibly unqualified for this position. While I don't like the idea of Kerry representing the United States in this role, just like potentially appointing Anna Wintour as our ambassador to the U. K. I think that Kerry is a perfect representative for the Obama administration and how it sees the United States' role in the world. There is one small problem - John Kerry belongs in jail.
Back in December in an effort to try to boost Al Sharpton, MSNBC managed to find one of the few people who could make Sharpton look intelligent by comparison and booked Harry Belafonte as a guest. Belafonte went on to make some... interesting comments:
“That there should be this lingering infestation of really corrupt people who sit trying to dismantle the wishes of the people, the mandate that has been given to Barack Obama, and I don't know what more they want,” he said. “The only thing left for Barack Obama to do is to work like a third world dictator and just put all these guys in jail.”
This got some attention from the political junkie class, but not much else. Such blatant stupidity is only newsworthy when it's spoken by a conservative. Belafonte is asserting that opposing the president's Obamacare mandate and the higher taxes needed to fund it is a crime that warrants imprisonment. Well, you can add John Kerry to that category. You can also add Al Franken, Elizabeth Warren, and Joe Lieberman among 18 Democrats who signed a petition to Harry Reid asking for a delay in the implementation of the medical device tax that was scheduled to kick in on January 1st. Their complaint is that the deferment is needed because the medical device industry had been given insufficient guidance as to how to comply with the new medical device tax. You read that correctly - a delay was requested because clarification was needed for a bill that was signed into law nearly two years ago.

It’s called the Logan Act........Paging Senator Cruz, please report to the confirmation hearings. The lemmings of Massachusetts can vote for him, but that doesn’t mean he needs to be confirmed.
So does the outgoing, brain damaged SOS, as well as the
AG, Treas.Sec, and a whole lot of the Congress!
Hildabeast should be in jail too - ask Vince Foster and about 40 others.
So does Hillary for numerous felonies and treasonous acts during her stay in the White House.
And since they're both devout anti-Semites, you'd think the Jewish community would be outraged . . . of course they DID vote for the anti-Semitic muslim illegal alien in our White House, so . . .
Doesn't all this just make your sick to your stomach . . . that we've come this far down into the sewer.
John Kerry is a hero.
You seem to forget that you’re living in America. He should’ve been thrown in jail a long time ago and they didn’t.
Too late now.
I sooo agree with the headline. Does the article ever discuss the details?
He is a traitor pure and simple.
Kerry should have been hung from a gibbet
Violation of Article 104 of the Punitive Articles of the UCMJ: Aiding the Enemy (5) Communicating with the Enemy. This carries the maximum of the death penalty. Prison, hell. Kerry should have been before a firing squad. F***ing traitor!
Also Amendment XIV, Article 3 of the U.S. Constitution states he is not eligible to hold his current office for the same reason.
Now for the big one. Kerry was present at the 1971 Vietnam Veterans Against the War Kansas City “Phoenix” meeting where they conspired to assassinate U.S. Senators. There were FBI informants in the meeting and the records were available online. His staff even made media statements when he was campaigning for the office of President that he reigned from VVAW the next day.... but that doesn’t excuse the crime of conspiracy he committed. I had links to articles on my homepage to those articles but they don’t work after all these years. The sources are still noted.
