To: Doren who wrote (561643 ) 4/8/2004 2:10:13 PM From: Neeka Respond to of 769667 Yes.....well.....that is certainly a personal decision. I certainly couldn't support a man that deserted his men in Vietnam before his tour of duty was complete. Nor could I support a man who was present at an anti-America meeting in which leftist activists discussed assassinating American politicians. And the very disturbing fact that he did not report this criminal activity to any authorities.November 12-15, 1971 -- the VVAW leadership meets in Kansas City. Fearing surveillance by authorities, the group relocates the meeting to another building. They debate, then vote down a plan to assassinate several pro-war U.S. Senators. Several witnesses, meeting minutes and FBI records eventually place John Kerry at this meeting. Or a man who allege widespread atrocities by U.S. soldiers in Vietnam without evidence or proof. A man who said this: February 13, 1970 -- Candidate Kerry tells the Harvard Crimson, "I'm an internationalist. I'd like to see our troops dispersed through the world only at the directive of the United Nations," and that he wants "to almost eliminate CIA activity." Or this:"There are all kinds of atrocities, and I would have to say that, yes, yes, I committed the same kind of atrocities as thousands of other soldiers have committed in that I took part in shootings in free fire zones. I conducted harassment and interdiction fire. I used 50 calibre machine guns, which we were granted and ordered to use, which were our only weapon against people. I took part in search and destroy missions, in the burning of villages." April 18, 1971 Or this:April 22, 1971 -- John Kerry testifies on behalf of the VVAW before the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs. He claims that American soldiers had "personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan..." and that these acts were "not isolated incidents but crimes committed on a day-to-day basis with the full awareness of officers at all levels of command." Kerry also accuses the U.S. military of "rampant" racism and of being "more guilty than any other body" of violating the Geneva Conventions, supports "Madame Binh's points" when asked to recommend a peace proposal, and states that any reprisals against the South Vietnamese after an American withdrawal would be "far, far less than the 200,000 a year who are murdered by the United States of America." Or this:July 24, 1971 -- the Daily World features a photograph of John Kerry speaking in support of the Provisional Revolutionary Government (Vietcong) Seven Point Plan. I certainly couldn't support a man that tells the world that the murdering Moqtada al-Sadr is a "legitmate" voice despite that fact that he's led an uprising that has killed American GIs and has a warrant out for his arrest for murdering a fellow Iraqi. Nor could I support a man who spent a good portion of his youth protesting against his country but then derides and ridicules young republicans who are exercising their right to protest as being "rude and without manners" when they protest against him. But more than anything I will not support a man that systematically has marginalized the war on terror. A man who "actually voted for the war before he voted against it." He doesn't have one clue about the danger we all face. He is ignorant and blind to the facts. It is impossible to support a man who so appeals to fringe leftists like the ones portrayed here. It’s easy to dismiss the fellows at Democratic Underground (another site linked to by JohnKerry.com), where the desecrated bodies had the loony Left high-fiving: ‘Death to ALL mercenaries. The beer is on me.’ But then you go back to the senator’s page and below the announcement deploring Mr Zuniga’s ‘unacceptable statement’ are hundreds of comments from Kerry supporters denouncing their man for being such a gutless wimp as to distance himself from the Screw-The-Dead-Mercenaries approach. ‘Greed is Irak’s most vicious enemy, and sensorship is America’s most vicious anemy at this hour in history,’ warns Barbara Curbelo Cusack, who writes like a middle-school teacher. ‘Go home and wash the piss out of your trousers,’ sneers Meyer from St Pete. ‘Howard Dean helped you get a spine.’ More pertinently, K.M. Thurman asks Kerry what he’s going to do with the $48,500 he raised through the Daily Kos site. But I see that you can...and that is your right....perhaps you are one of them? Democrats are trying to undermine the reconstruction in Iraq. Democrats are trying to marginalize the war against terrorists. Democrats would turn over United States sovereignty to the UN. Democrats have been slowly whittling away at our constitution and Democrats have proven over and over again that they and their ideology are more important to them than our nation. Democrats would look to Europe for moral leadership rather than stand for what is right and best for our nation. Democrats lay the blame for the world's problems on America's doorstep. Liberals control 92% of academia. Liberals control 90% of the media and that is appalling. This is a nation of, by and for the people........all of them, and we are starting to hear a chorus of protest in the form of dissenting opinion through talk radio, cable TV and newsprint. The so called left is absolutely furious about it, and don't seem capable of accepting the fact that there are millions of Americans that disagree with their point of view. But go ahead and go wobbly on America. Thanks to dissenting opinion, to talk radio, cable tv and alternative publications there are millions of Americans that see through the deceit and lies that is the corrupt democrat party. Nope......can't support such an anti-American presidential candidate such as him. But you go right ahead......make his day. M
