From My E-mail...Notice the comment i've highlighted about Kerry's discharge. I do hope this comes into full daylight.

This was forwarded to me by a former (40 years ago) commanding officer, and 1947 USNA classmate of Jimmy Carter, William Crowe, and Stansfield Turner. The actual author is a retired Admiral, and former Chief of Naval Research. I couldn't have stated it better myself, nor could you.
Enjoy,

PARDON ME WHILE I GLOAT
by Dick Van Orden
I am not normally a cheerful loser or a gracious
winner. Whether its tiddly-winks or war at sea, I want to win,
win, win! In fact, I hate to lose and when I win I sometimes
want to rub the loser's nose in his defeat. After a sleepless
night I feel just rotten enough that the past six months of lies
and innuendos from the Kerry camp have it all come home to make
me more vindictive than usual. As a result, I want to gloat.
Here's why:
I am happy that the sound common sense of a majority
of America's voters resulted in a solid victory for a true
patriot-and in the humiliating defeat of a lying traitor. There
was no doubt in my mind that Bush's truthfulness and
forthrightness would prevail against the lies and half-truths of
Kerry and his supporters, and I am pleased that a majority of
good folks saw the light and pushed the Bush/Cheney button for
justice and for increasing support for the nation's bright
future.
I am pleased that the left-leaning media-newspapers,
radio, TV and newsmagazines-got their bell rung, but good. Now
we are assured that these self-appointed "opinion makers" cannot
pull the wool over the eyes of most of us, no matter how hard
they twist the facts. Their early reporting of the "leaked"
fraudulent exit polls, and their sponsorship of other badly
skewed voter polls were designed to mislead voters, in which
they failed-miserably. And Dan Rather deserves a special place
in hell.
I am delighted that the fat, disgusting a-hole,
Michael Moore did not achieve the success that he wished for and
that he was repulsed by so many intelligent Americans. May his
soul burn in hell.
I hope the Hollywood friends of Michael
Moore-especially Barbara Streisand, Whopi Goldberg, P-Diddler,
and their friends-are roasting in the hell of their own making.
It seems to me that they all offered to depart the U.S. if Bush
won the first time, which they did not do. The time is now
doubly ripe for their exit.
I am blissful that all the treasure and invective of
George Soros devoted to defeating George Bush went for naught.
I only wish for a financial future of similar poor decisions by
Soros; I want to see him as bankrupt in bank account as he is in
patriotism.
I find it particularly satisfying that the high
ranking military suck-ups whose lack of integrity led them to
desert their commander-in-chief and follow a lying cheat, even
though they knew, or should have known, that his dismissal from
the Navy was "less than honorable," as detailed in the military
record that he refused to release. It is sad that such Navy
types as Bill Crowe, Stan Turner, and even Jimmy Carter would be
in that group. It is obvious that their motivation was the hope
of a cushy job when their new-found knight in shining armor
moved into the White House. Even their strategy was flawed, for
Kerry is, and always has been, anti-military; he only used his
military service-and those military "advisors"-for personal
political gain. He would never have offered that cushy job,
once he had used them, just as he never voted for the needed
armament that they and their shipmates and their Marine Corps,
Army, and Air Force brothers-in-arms needed so badly.
I am thrilled that the whiners who have complained
bitterly about the "stolen" 2000 Presidential election must
leave that fallacy in the past and now try to find something
else to whine about-maybe they can even develop a fantasy that
the four million vote plurality was a miscount, and continue
their whining as they slink away into their caves.
It pleases me that Kofi Annan and the other United
Nations sycophants failed miserably when they tried so hard to
influence this election to ensure that a more pliable President
Kerry would be elected. I hope they will now realize that
either they clean up the bureaucratic, corrupt, do-nothing UN,
or they will be short of funds when the Bush-led US decreases-or
ends-its support.
I am overjoyed at the failure of Osama bin Laden's
carefully timed video of invective against the US and its
President in hopes of using Islamic scare tactics on the
American people. Bin Laden's aim was to entice our voters to
elect a new President who will not be as robust in his pursuit
of terrorists and more willing to "negotiate" with Islamic
Fundamentalists. He did not understand that Americans are not
so panicky as the French, fearful as the Spanish, or unthinking
as the English. (As for the Germans, they should know better;
we have defeated them in battle often enough to convince them of
the rightness of our ways.) I hope Osama dies in a blast from a
bunker-buster before he gets a chance to make another video or
another attack on our nation.
The blatant attempts of European nations and the EU
to cause our President discomfort in his efforts to bring peace
to the world make me glad that they are so disappointed with the
election results. My joy is unbounded at the chagrin of the
French and German and other anti-Bush, anti-American nations
(including the people of the UK-but not their loyal and faithful
government led by Prime Minister, Tony Blair). Now let those
U.S.-sheltered Europeans worry about the end of American
financial and military assistance when they have problems. Let
them beg for American military aid and other handouts that have
helped to sustain their economies. And let them perish in their
own sweat when we remove out troops from Germany, the Balkans,
and other trouble spots where we have pulled their chestnuts out
of the fire.
I relish the hope that Islamic fundamentalists will
now understand the election result as a blow from which they
cannot recover. It fills me with joy that their dreams of world
domination will be shattered by Bush's and the American nation's
resolve to see them defeated and sent to join their
Allah-without the 72 virgins waiting for them.
It pleases me more than I can say that the Senate
Minority Leader, Thomas Daschle lost his seat. As the leading
obstructionist for the Democrat party, he was primarily
responsible for withholding approval of many Bush appointments
to Federal judgeships, high-level positions, and other necessary
personnel. Good riddance.
The demise of the junk-yard dog, loudmouth James
Carville, also brings me great happiness. That happiness is
further enhanced by the victory of the first Republican to win a
Senate seat in Louisiana, Carville's home state.
I am delighted with the success of John O'Neil and
his Swift Boat Vets-and with those thousands of non-Swifties who
joined with them-on their forthright revelation of the truth of
Kerry's service in Vietnam. They took a truthful but difficult
position and made an impact-good and honorable Navy men all.
Bush gets gentlemanly credit for not using them and their data
in his campaign to demean Kerry, but the word was out that they
spoke the truth. I maintain that they were the MVPs of this
election; their testimony turned the tide against Kerry, and he
never recovered.
And, finally, I must express my unbounded
gratification at the defeat of Senator Kerry, a worthless
Senator, anti-military extremist, lying self-promoter, and
former Naval officer who disgraced us all. His traitorous
collusion with the enemy is second only to that of Jane Fonda.
He should have been court-martialed for giving aid and comfort
to the enemy in time of war. His dishonorable quest for medals
and a quick return to the US, where he turned against his
shipmates and lied about their actions resulted in a less than
honorable separation from the Navy. Jimmy Carter's amnesty
allowed him to file for, and get, an honorable discharge 18
years after he left the service. He should have received a
court martial.
While my thoughts may seem to be mean-spirited, do
not be confused-they really are mean-spirited, as I mean them to
be. I have suffered the tortures of the damned over the past
year as I heard and read the lies and nasty remarks from
politicians, citizens, and media "experts" about our President.
I have barely tolerated the feeble but divisive attempts of
foreign and domestic peaceniks to build a case against our war
on the Islamic fundamentalists, who use terrorism as a weapon
against us in order to intimidate out citizens and drive some of
our gutless politicians to seek "negotiations" to avoid
"confrontations" with those who seek to kill our citizens.
Most of all, I have seethed with anger at those who
shamefully derided out military, blissfully reporting on their
failures and neglecting their successes. They triumphantly
celebrated our difficulties by running daily body counts of our
own heroic men killed in battle with the enemy, even publishing
their pictures in papers and on TV as if to mock the President
who sent them to defend our nation. I have only disgust for
such tactics. And those are the very same people who now plead
for "united actions" in the House and Senate, now that they are
in a steadily declining minority. I would advise our President
to "watch your six" because these are really enemies and they
are not to be trusted.
Four more years! How sweet it is! |
