So PING

[PeoplesRepublicOfWashington]

Wow!

[jolie560]

An entire World religion has declared war on us and is dedicated to killing us.

the National Democratic party has ignored that.

Every war has pacifists and conscientious objectors and even disenchanted veterans, but there's simply no precedent for what John Kerry did: a man who put his combat credentials to the service of smearing his country's entire armed forces as rapists, decapitators and baby killers. That's the ''wound,'' Sen. McCain. That's why a crummy little war on the other side of the world still festers. That's why the band didn't play ''Fings Ain't Wot They Used T'Be'' and move on to the next item of business. Because Kerry didn't just call for U.S. withdrawal, he impugned the honor of every man he served with.

Steyn bump

Mark Steyn is always good. This column is one of his best, right through the great last sentence.

Remember that formulation a lot of Democrats were using last year? They oppose the war but ''of course'' they support our troops. Kerry's campaign is a walking illustration of the deficiencies of that straddle: When you divorce the heroism of soldiering from the justice of the cause, what's left but a hollow braggart?

Brilliant

Kerry's legacy : BIG march in NYC Sunday AGAINST THE WAR!

Kerry's "peace" lovers to spit on US Troops again!

So Kerry is now the first self-confessed war criminal in the history of the Republic to be nominated for president. Normally this would be considered an electoral plus only in the more cynical banana republics. But the Democrats seemed to think they could run an anti-war anti-hero as a war hero and nobody would mind.

Why not? The Democrats ran an anti-war candidate in 1964, LBJ. All the time Johnson was telling voters on the stump the he "Won't send our boys to South East Asia", he was planning the escalation to begin just after his inauguration in '65.

Vietnam all started with liars and lies of the Democrats. Why should the Dems be any different now.

[ottothedog]

Hardcore. Ok, so maybe I can see a little Coulter in this excellent one from Steyn. This perfectly captures the truth about Vietnam. I really wish more people would talk about this.

'Nuff said.

Great Steyn!

Thanks for posting this great article. I have a feeling that in the long run, whether we like it or not, the issues related to what happened with the boats and the Silver Stars and the Purple Hearts is not going to decide the election; the average person on the street will not sort it out. But this material can't be ignored or denied, because it is based on the man's clear, on-record statements. And very importantly, these points have weight with people who both supported and opposed the war at the time. There were plenty of decent people who opposed the war and didn't go over to the Jane Fonda treason level, and people like that don't find Kerry's post-war actions honorable.

a brief history of Brittan and Aden

[Caoilfhionn]

There is so much material on him it's revolting, but I'll try to limit myself to just the Vietnam fiasco for the moment. Kerry has been honored at the Communist Museum in North Korea as one of the contributors to their victory. The display photograph's "unquestionable significance lies in its placement in the American protesters' section of the War Crimes Museum" in Ho Chi Minh City, the former Saigon.

"The Vietnamese communists clearly recognize John Kerry's contributions to their victory," he said. "This find can be compared to the discovery of a painting of Neville Chamberlain hanging in a place of honor in Hitler's Eagle's Nest in 1945."

The last I checked, the North Koreans were the enemy. But, in fact, Kerry has a long and well-documented history of providing "aid and comfort" to the enemy in time of war -- particularly in the case of North Vietnam, Nicaragua and Cuba. Kerry, by his own account of his actions and protests, violated the UCMJ, the Geneva Conventions and the U.S. Code while serving as a Navy officer. Kerry met, on two occasions, with North Vietnamese negotiators in 1970 and 1971, willingly placing himself in violation of Article three, Section three of the U.S. Constitution, which defines treason as "giving aid and comfort" to the enemy in time of warfare. Thus, in accordance with the Constitution's Fourteenth Amendment, Section 3, which states, "No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President ... having previously taken an oath ... to support the Constitution of the United States, [who has] engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof," It is for these reasons that John F. Kerry is unfit for public office.

I enjoy reading articles like this where it is obvious that the writer gets it. There is a great deal of anger towards JFK. And he has the stupidity to ask WHY.
JFK you are going down and going down hard. Mercy is not given to dishonorable men.

<< In Aden, Fings Ain't Wot They Used T'Be -- but .... Hanoi Kerry's psychodrama-queen performance is a gift that keeps on giving. >>

Pretty much says it all.
