Kerry quotes the unibomber to bolster his argument ?

[No Longer Free State]

Kerry also manages to show his disdain for the 2nd amendment with quotes like, "Individuals must be held accountable when they buy cocaine, guns, and the service of prostitutes."

Isn't there a stronger word than 'distain' to describe likening the God-given and constitutionally protected right to self protection to the despicably criminal acts of supporting the criminals who run the drug trade and the desecration of women for profit?

[No Longer Free State]

Who in their right mind would quote the Unabomber on ANYTHING?

Al Gore. Of course, his 'right mind' ain't right.

[BenLurkin]

Wait a minute . . . I thought it was the Unabomber who quoted Algore.

This man was on the Senate Intelligence committee?

He must have missed many more briefings than we thought.

there's a reason why Bush's campaign website reccomends this book!

In the book Kerry doesn't really spell out why we should or shouldn't trade with China...That squares with his record.


In 1991, Kerry Supported Most-Favored Trade Status For China. “Sen. John Kerry said yesterday that he is breaking party ranks to support most-favored-nation trade status for China … ‘I think the president has some strong arguments about some of the assets of most-favored-nation status for China,’ Kerry said.” (John Aloysius Farrell, “Kerry Breaks Party Ranks To Back China Trade Status,” The Boston Globe, 6/15/91)

In 2000, Kerry Voted In Favor Of Permanent Normal Trade Relations With China. (H.R. 4444, CQ Vote #251: Passed 83-15: R 46-8; D 37-7, 9/19/00, Kerry Voted Yea)

Now Kerry Criticizes The Bush Administration For Trading With China. “Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry said on Monday Americans workers were paying the price for President Bush's weak stance on trade with China and other countries. … On the bus tour, Kerry singled out the Bush administration's handling of trade with China and said that country was manipulating its currency.” (Caren Bohan, "Kerry Pledges Aggressive Trade Stance," Reuters, 4/26/04)

Like the Al Gore - Unabomber test. You read the quote and try to guess if it is taken from Earth in the Balance by Gore, or the Unabomber Manifesto. Sounds like Kerry quotes should be added to that test, like minds.....

or how about this Kerry gem from page 25: Some types of terrorists are, of course, fairly pure.

Last night I finally got around to watching this DVD I have called Churchill - The Wilderness Years, 1929-1939. The above comments from Kerry's book reminds me a lot of Neville Chamberlain

To be objective, "The New War," the book appears to be written/published a while ago. John Kerry has as much a crystal ball as anybody had on the dot com crash of 2000. How did George W. Bush perceive these topics in his book?

[ttedly]

Maybe a book/movie burning is order.

awesome! Thank you, that's very cool!

[votelife]

you're welcome. I couldn't help but chuckle in the debate when Kerry mentioned this fine piece of scholarship...I wonder why he didn't mention his other book, New Soldier?

[nw_arizona_granny]

I do think that he is learning that we will take his books apart and send them back to him with the truth.

I listened on the radio, the lies were there, if kerry is
elected, clinton will learn how the big boys run a country.

Kerry is a much better speaker than most of the commies and that scares me to death.

From listening to the talk shows in Calif., Arizona and
Utah, it sounds like every democrat got the memo to call a talk show.

They all had the same message, Bush is stupid and Kerry is
wonderful, kerry will win.

I do pray that they are wrong.

From the Washington Monthly, July-August 1997 review by Mark Feldstein.

"...Kerry offers a number of solutions: beefing up U.S. law enforcement abroad, expanding laws for extradition and asset forfeiture, cracking down on money laundering centers like the Cayman Islands, establishing transnational courts to try global gangsters, and creating sorely needed minimum standards in international law...
...for all of his soaring war rhetoric, he ducks the really hard question of whether the US. should use military force to tackle these global gangs. "

Thanks for reading it through, don't think I could.

It's obvious why the media doesn't give it much mention LOL!

.
Now that we know that Kerry was receiving big bucks from Iranians and the KLA, it's no wonder that he avoids mentioning the Islamic terrorists.

And all Kerry would have had to do was read the newspaper, he didn't even have to go to all those closed door hearings in the Senate committee hearings.

They connected the dots in 1998 but Senator Kerry and MSM can't seem to connect the dots in 2004.

Here is an easy to read chart of what the media was saying pre-911 (and after): Connect the Dots...Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden.

And HUSSEINandTERROR.com

Lots of facts and quotes about the president-wannabe at the John F. Kerry Timeline.
