Disgraceful Behavior

After thirty-five years of disgraceful behavior this man has finally done in himself and his political party. During a run for Congress three decades ago, john kerry said he opposed a volunteer Army because it would be dominated by the underprivileged (“an army of the poor and the black and the brown’), be less accountable and be more prone to “the perpetuation of war crimes.”

Any democrat or media pundit (Hillary, Keith Olbermann) who tells you that Kerry’s latest slander of the military was just a gaffe should look at his 35 year record of slander.

But most important, with the election next week, is to remember that kerry provides a view into the sick soul of American liberalism and the democratic party. He simply reflects a deep set antipathy that finds expression in michael moore movies and at visits abroad by democratic political figures (jimmy carter) and liberal intellectuals (noam chomsky). A perfect example of this contemptuous anti-American behavior was provided by The New Yorker magazine reporter seymour hersh at McGill University in Montreal.

“In Vietnam, our soldiers came back and they were reviled as baby killers, in shame and humiliation,” hersh said. “It isn’t happening now, but I will tell you – there has never been an army as violent and murderous as our army has been in Iraq.” He claims to have seen a video in which American soldiers massacre a group of people playing soccer. It reminds me of Kerry’s “cut off ears”… diatribe.

I guess it is a strength of the American democracy that we don’t take guys like Kerry and Hersh out and shoot them.

The evil sickness pervades so much of our elite society. Take the University of Pennsylvania president amy gutmann.

Democracy Project describes the Halloween costume party at gutman's home Tuesday night. “Among the guests was Saad Saadi, who came dressed as a suicide bomber, complete with plastic dynamite strapped to his chest and a toy automatic rifle. Worse, Gutmann posed with Saadi!”

“An obvious question: would Gutmann have posed with a guest--or even allowed him into her house--if he'd dressed as Adolf Hitler or a Nazi SS officer? A KKK member? But in modern liberal circles, posing as a Palestinian suicide bomber is just fine. After all, he mainly tries to kill innocent Jews.”
