The Kerry Effect

11-02-06

Only five days stand until the elections. Liberal spin machines are in full swing. However, their attacks on Conservatives have been muted lately by a very foolish John Kerry, who wrongly insinuated (if not directly stated) that those who serve in Iraq are not "smart". What will be the effect for Democrats as a result of this political nightmare of theirs? In my opinion, it will cause disgruntled Conservatives to mass at the polls on election day. It's quite a shock to the national conscience to suggest that those who serve our country are not educated. It's an insult to the sacrifices they've made for Freedom.

John Kerry was NOT talking about President Bush when he made his comments. John Kerry quite clearly said to those students that if you did well, studied in college, and made an attempt to "be smart", they wouldn't end up in Iraq. He didn't mention Bush. Kerry's excuse that he was talking about Bush doesn't hold water for a couple of reasons. It would have made absolutely no sense to speak of Bush in this manner, as Bush holds an MBA and was a trained fighter pilot. Bush made better grades in college than Kerry, though only by one percentage point. In what context could Kerry have even been IMPLICITLY talking about Bush? Kerry was specifically talking about college education and the benefits therein to a group of college students. The ONLY logical explanation is that Kerry meant exactly what he said.

This was no botched joke. This was a botched Democratic Senator who represents a botched Democratic Party which has been held hostage by Leftist Extremists who despise the concept of a military and those who would voluntarily serve that military. Kerry has made disparaging remarks about U.S. service members in the past. In the 70s, Kerry called military members in Vietnam rapists and pillagers. He even said in 1972 that the concept of an all volunteer army would cause the military to become "poor, black, and brown." It seems to reason that Kerry obviously still feels this way about the U.S. Military. I suppose that not only are they "poor, black and brown", but also not "smart".

The repercussions of John Kerry's statements are far and wide. The leaders of the Democratic Party feel exactly like he does about the military. They despise them and wish them nothing but ill. Americans should pay attention to this issue and realize that if this country can't stand in support of troops in combat.....then we are no longer "a nation under God." Those warriors in harms way must never again hear a Democrat, or anyone else, disparage them in such a public fashion. Rebuking our defenders of Freedom who sacrifice daily for that Freedom...is surely a way of asking God to turn His back on us.
