A friend dropped off the book today.
Reading this book is one of the most eye opening experiences I have had in the power of media. They let Kerry perpetuate his lies without challenge.
I knew the media was powerful. Powerful enough to get a president elected and let him stay in office. But I had no idea they could mis-portray an entire war and our soldiers in quite the way that they permitted Kerry to do. (That isn't a grammatical sentence but between being sick and outraged...)
I am not sure I felt this much anger, even in the aftermath of 9/11. That may sound overly dramatic to some people, but I can almost accept the fact that there are fanatical people on this planet who hate us enough to try and destroy the country.
What I can't accept is that our OWN people darned near destroyed the country in the 60's and 70's and completely demolished our country's will to fight a war and let millions and millions of Southern Vietnamese get killed because of our untimely withdrawal.
I cannot accept that our OWN people ruined the reputations of our fine, brave soldiers. I could absolutely sob. It is a tragic story. Tragic.
Hey, Kerry had good reason to miss those meetings! He was either in Cambodia getting his hat blocked or in Georgetown getting his ashes hauled!
He didn't have to. He married rich x2.
Kerry missed all the meeting of thois committee , he miised 77% of the National Security he hasnt been at most of the senate meeting s this year, One thing stands out this guy doesnt care enough about his job or the US to attend meetings and do his job.
When Clinton was parsing words like this he WAS the sitting president. Hard to throw out a lout who's been duly elected.
But Kerry hasn't done that. He still has got to woo the vote. Simply not liking the way he looks condescendingly on people is enough to lose. If he looks and feels like a fraud, (and he does), he's cooked.
Where was the Navy Secretary Lehman of 1986, during this time???
How is it possible that JFKerry gets an even more glowing citation 18 years after the fact signed by Navy Secretary Lehman????
It is what he did when he came home that counts!
This is another thing I don't get... how he got a "pass" on this, too. I think Kerry (& most Democrats) opperate in "projecting" what they do onto somebody else.
