Thanks for your service, shooter. (And welcome to FR, the greatest news source ever)
All kinds of things might come out in the discovery phase. I wonder if Kerry is somehow behind the lawsuits filed against VVLF. If so, he's playing with fire - but he's egotistical enough to think he can't get burned.
If they win. A man can hope :)
thanx for your kind words and your welcome......I haven't trusted MSM for years........now that I have found FR,I feel vindicated(recent threads on the OU bomber are but one example)
John Kerry Sued PING!!!
:>)
Nothing would make me happier than to see a Clinton and a Kerry on the stand defending their past....would be a laugh a minute.
Defining Disloyalty Down
by Adam Teiichi Yoshida[snip]
The only reasonable conclusion one can come to is this: as a result of the Vietnam experience what constitutes “disloyalty” in America has been defined downwards. As in other matters, a society can only recognize so much behavior as “disloyal” or “treasonous.” After all, if half of society came to fully regard the other half as treasonous, our options would very rapidly be reduced to a choice between segregation and a genocidal civil war.
This is the sick legacy of John Kerry and his comrades in the anti-war movement during the Vietnam era. They have poisoned the minds of tens of millions of people at created a permanent fifth column within the United States. As a result of this, as we wage the war which will define our age, all patriots are perpetually haunted by the grim and inescapable truth that we are never more than one election away from defeat.
“Disloyalty”, as a result of the anti-war movement of the Vietnam era, has been defined downwards. Behavior would have certainly drawn the label of “traitor” is now dismissed as mere “dissent.” The sort of treasonous behavior which they engaged in has been lionized and venerated, especially in public schools across the land. Two generations of students since the Vietnam War have been taught that opposing American victory in a war is an act which as at least as patriotic (if not more patriotic) than supporting it. This indoctrination hasn’t stuck in every case, but it’s done so in enough to make a difference.
So, what is to be done now? We can’t simply roll back the clock, as much as some of us would like. We can’t simply jump from where we are back to the old, traditional, definitions.
As I see it, the only road open to us is to wage a relentless campaign of attrition against all emanations of disloyalty. This means, more than anything else, a campaign to retake the schools and the media. Education and the popular media can be used, as they have been used in the past, to inoculate the public against the menace of treason and treasonable ideas. They must be used in this fashion once again.

It is therefore essential that we begin to revise the meaning of “loyalty” upwards in order to demand an ever-increasing degree of fidelity. Those of us who wish to see a strong and victorious America must take this election (assuming we win) not as a final victory, but as a stay of execution.
