Smug and vain, John Kerry presents himself as the John Paul Jones of the Mekong, the war hero who fears no foe.

Holy crap! Smackdown.

I just can't figure out how you can be a war hero when you've been against every single war or conflict this country has ever been involved in.

Kerry's a war hero, all right, to the Viet Cong.

"I just can't figure out how you can be a war hero when you've been against every single war or conflict this country has ever been involved in."

When you have a communist media helping you every step of the way, it isn't hard. The fact that this man even made it to the senate and has stayed on, is a sad commentary on our nations media.

Somewhere in this litany lies your answer

What's scary is that similar voices are raised in our own midst, that a serious, credible candidate for president of the United States encourages these voices of fear with articulate nuances, subtleties, modulations, explanations, variations, distinctions, innuendos and pious evasions.

Kerry is a sophist. He will become anything for for his own political expediency, for his own advancement. Truly, I was "Howlin" inside when he stated "I have never wavered."

We've got to put this one to rest but, before I do, I need to find the answers to the following questions. As a preface, I believe that men find themselves "fighting for their country" for a variety of reasons, not all of them noble. Hell, I personally know of one who, when younger, had the choice of jail or enlisting. Anyway, I need to find specifics about the black muslim who chucked a few grenades under the tent and killed a few of his fellow soldiers, in 1993, I think.

Did he enlist? How long was he "in country"? Longer than Kerry? Has he made any claims to exceptional insights about the wrong war in the wrong place... blah blah blah? Perhaps Jon Effing can give him some rhetoric lessons?

That quote's good, but I like this one better--

He imagines that an American president, in a world of evil run amok, must demonstrate leadership by submitting the security of Americans to something he calls a "global test," showing the practiced deference that a French poodle might show the rich widow taking him out for a stroll on the avenue.

Pruden is a real word-wizard. Thanks for this ping!
