Final Thoughts On This Election From Vets Group

[Tazeeyore]

Throughout the long course of history great nations have been largely defined and identified with their wartime leaders and heroes who are deeply honored and revered. This is particularly true of great nations. None, except possibly France, has been defined by its traitors. Take for example, Great Britain whose most revered and respected leaders include Sir Francis Drake, Lord Nelson, Queen Victoria, Field Marshall Montgomery, Winston Churchill and Margaret Thatcher, all wartime leaders.

For us in America, the list of revered and respected wartime leaders is lengthy. It starts with George Washington and runs through Andrew Jackson, Lincoln, Grant, Lee, Teddy Roosevelt, Pershing, Franklin Roosevelt, Eisenhower, McArthur, Patton, Truman, Ronald Reagan (who won the cold war), George Bush Sr. and now, George W. Bush who stood in the ruins of a still-smoldering World Trade Center and told the world that those who attacked us would soon be hearing from us. He meant it. And they did. It was not a time for nuance.

Entire article and more about Kerry's discharge and the questions surrounding his dubious service record. Why did he have to have his medals reinstated unless he was dishonorably discharged?

This line sums it up for me! That's all I need to know.

Yeah Beowolf, me too!

This is my favorite part.



We were faced with the prospect having the Manchurian Candidate as President and Commander-in-Chief. This is a man who managed to game his way into three highly questionable purple hearts and a Silver Star. This is a disgrace and an outright insult to those men killed, wounded or decorated at places like Valley Forge, Gettysburg, Pearl Harbor, Omaha Beach, Iwo Jima, Battle of the Bulge, the Chosin Reservoir, the Battle of Hue, the Gulf War and the liberation of Afghanistan and Iraq.

George Bush was never in combat, but he flew high performance fighter jets as a full time officer for two years and spent parts of the next four years in the service of his country at a time when draftees were only required to serve a total of two years. And he certainly never gave aid and comfort to the enemy. In any case, he wasn't asking the American people to re-elect him on the basis of his record in the National Guard. The President, who already has nearly four years on the job, cares deeply about his country and the American people. He loves America and what it stands for. He would never have thought of cavorting with the enemy in a time of war. He is honest and resolute. He has shown courage, resolve and strong leadership at a time when it has been badly needed. One is reminded of Winston Churchill who suffered the same sort of criticisms in his time that George Bush suffers from today. The British had to quickly dump Neville Chamberlain after his famous "peace in our time" meeting with Adolph Hitler a few months before Hitler invaded Poland. Chamberlain had been elected Prime Minister instead of Churchill because Chamberlain convinced the British that he understood nuance in dealing with the enemy.

John Kerry has been accused of being a flip-flopper. Actually Kerry has been remarkably consistent. Thirty-some years ago, he did what he could to undermine troop morale. He's doing the same today. Thirty-some years ago, he pandered to the leftist elite. He's doing the same today. Thirty-some years ago, he gave aid and comfort to the enemy. He's doing the same today. Thirty-some years ago he wanted us to lose in Vietnam and did all he could to make that happen. Today, he clearly wants us to lose in Iraq. Thirty-some years ago, he was a traitor. So where's the flip-flop?

Basically, the Democrats made a terrible and stupid choice. They could have selected Joe Lieberman, who would have been a legitimate, credible and serious challenger to George Bush and who could have provided reasonable discourse about our position in the world. Instead they chose a candidate endorsed by Michael Moore, Dan Rather, Teddy Kennedy, the Hollywood crowd, the successors to Madam Binh, George Soros, Jane Fonda, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Jacques Chirac, and, this may sound a bit harsh, the Arab terrorists. But ask yourself honestly. Who do you think they would prefer?

Kerry is slick, has a central casting look and is quick on his feet. He¹s so quick he'll say anything to get elected. He'll take any position depending on the day and place. He is a man without any semblance of a moral compass except the one that points to him.

Here's the real point. John Kerry should not have been running for president. He should be serving 25 years to life in a federal penitentiary.

This article clearly belongs in the Hall of Fame because in 4 years Kerry will run again.

You can bet there is more to the Kerry story -- more lies, more sellouts, more treason, more coverups, more secrecy -- than we even suspect. Kerry is another Alger Hiss creeping out from under the Commie rock.
