John Kerry's Resume for Commander and Chief and Defender of the
Working Man: Protest with Jane Fonda, Accuse the American Military of
War Crimes, and Marry Two Women with Inherited Fortunes? Bring it On!

Every time the Democrats place all their intellectual resources behind
a "winning" strategy they ultimately find themselves on ice so thin
that the heat from a single candle can melt the ice beneath their
feet. Today's democratic strategy is to base John F. Kerry's eventual
candidacy on the strength of his war record and his defense of the
working class. Howard Dean had not even finished the last note of his
infamous screech before this strategy was embraced by almost every
liberal constituency of the Democratic Party. These constituencies are
now led by career operatives at the DNC, actors in Hollywood whose
careers are on the decline, and a parade of failed Democratic
candidates who now have time for party activities since they have
nothing better to do. I think this strategy will ultimately fail since
John Kerry's congressional record and life after Vietnam does not show
he has the wisdom required to defend our country or any possible
connection to the working man.
Claim Number One in the Kerry Campaign: John Kerry is eminently
qualified to be Commander in Chief of our military and to lead the war
against terrorism because of his service as a courageous young soldier
in the 1960's. No one can dispute that John Kerry volunteered to go
into military service and won several medals during his time in the
Vietnam War. John Kerry's courage as a young man in the jungles of
Vietnam will forever deserve the gratitude and admiration of our
nation. However, courage as a young soldier does not automatically
translate into wisdom as an older politician. Let us examine how John
Kerry translated his youthful combat experience into further service
to his country.
After he returned from active duty, he became a leading anti-war
activist and worked hard to support the anti-American programs of
radicals like Jane Fonda. He attended a seminar bankrolled by Fonda in
Detroit in February 1971 during which 125 self-proclaimed Vietnam
veterans testified at a Howard Johnson's about atrocities allegedly
committed by our own forces. In order to further ingratiate himself
with his new friends he participated in and even led efforts to
humiliate and discredit our armed forces and our country's leadership.
Although, honest policy disagreements are a fundamental part of our
democratic system, symbolic gestures of hatred and disrespect for our
country are not. These acts of hate not only add no value to the
national debate, but encourage our enemies and discourage our allies.
Both Jane Fonda and John Kerry translated their disputes over our
country's policy on Vietnam into the most heinous acts of disrespect
for our military and national character.
Pictures of Jane Fonda on top of the very tanks which fired on and
most likely wounded and killed our troops gave the enemy a morale
boost and public relations edge against the United States. John Kerry,
who was not invited to that particular photo shoot, led his own
efforts to embarrass and humiliate our military. Navy lieutenant John
Kerry, as leader of the Vietnam Veterans Against the War, testified
before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on April 23, 1971 that
U.S. soldiers had "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, shot cattle and dogs for fun, poisoned food stocks, and
generally ravaged the countryside of South Vietnam." It is important
to note that while Lt. Kerry sat in plush offices on Capital Hill and
testified that American soldiers routinely committed these war crimes
against Vietnamese civilians for fun, our soldiers were still fighting
and dying in the jungles of that country. Did John Kerry's testimony
provide additional justification and passion for the torture of
American soldiers at the hands of their North Vietnamese captures? We
will probably never know. Should a man who loved his country have made
those inflammatory charges in public while his brothers and sisters in
the military were being held prisoner? Absolutely not.
As a further public relations coup for our adversaries and to gain
more publicity for himself he then threw medals he claimed were his
own over the White House garden wall. However, as soon as his medals
proved to be a political asset as opposed to a publicity liability he
confessed that the medals he threw over the garden wall in fact were
not his own and now displays his own medals. He has used them for
political advantage ever since and they are now the centerpiece of his
presidential campaign. We may never find out who owned the medals he
so callously threw over the garden wall or what sacrifices that
soldier endured to win those medals. I guess John Kerry wants us to
honor his medals which he now so prominently hangs on his wall more
than he honored the medals of that fellow veteran. I wonder if John
Kerry would have thrown the veteran over the wall wearing those medals
if it would have resulted in better press or more accolades from his
anti-American admirers.
One would also think that someone who fought and saw men die in the
jungles of foreign lands would become a passionate leader in the
effort to provide better weapon systems or intelligence support to
other soldiers in harm's way. However, instead of working as hard for
our military as he did protesting against it, Mr. Kerry decided to
spend his political career attacking, berating and trying to cut
funding for all systems and programs to support the Defense Department
and Intelligence Community. He used his position in the Senate to
label the CIA as "evil" and to fight to cut funding for our military
and intelligence production capabilities whenever possible. It appears
that protest partying with Jane Fonda against the military was a
larger influence on Mr. Kerry than actually serving in it.
Rather than defend the congressional record he modeled after Ted
Kennedy or the anti-military activities he modeled after Jane Fonda,
he has decided to attack the National Guard service of President Bush.
He has attacked the President for not attending certain activities
during his National Guard service while ignoring the fact that
President Bush faithfully fulfilled his military obligation and
received an honorable discharge. Mr. Kerry once again finds himself
questioning the integrity and honor of the military. For the military,
without reservation, awarded President Bush an honorable discharge
while Mr. Kerry and his political hacks are questioning the military's
evaluation of President Bush's service even going as far as to equate
service in the National Guard to a dodge to avoid military service.
That is why Mr. Kerry finds himself attacking a man with honorable
service in the National Guard while defending a known draft dodger -
Bill Clinton. Senator Kerry enthusiastically defended the right of
Bill Clinton to evade all military service in order to go to London to
protest against our troops while they were on the battlefield. We have
to remember he had much to gain politically in defending Bill Clinton
and has even more to gain in defaming President Bush. You can think of
President Bush's National Guard service as the medals of the unknown
veteran which Mr. Kerry threw over the garden wall.
This leads us to Claim Number Two of the Kerry Campaign: John Kerry is
a friend and defender of the working man. This will be a hard sell for
a man who received formal education by the Ivy League, formal training
by anti-American radicals like Jane Fonda and has lived the life of a
millionaire living off the inherited wealth of his two wives. As an
Ivy League educated millionaire who did not have to work for his
fortune, Mr. Kerry never had to worry about the money he earned, the
taxes he paid, or the programs he and Ted Kennedy forced the rest of
us to pay for. Mr. Kerry's complete ignorance of what it is like to
have to live by what you earn is why he actively supports the practice
of giving retired millionaires monthly social security checks paid for
by working men making $7 dollars an hour and trying to support a
family; why he actively supports higher taxes on small businesses so
they can not hire more employees at higher wages; and why he supports
government programs which give undeserving people homes in working
class neighborhoods even when those neighborhoods are destroyed in the
process. Mr. Kerry Heinz is not effected when these neighborhoods are
destroyed and working class families lose the largest asset in their
retirement plans - their home's value.
If Mr. Kerry and his supporters believe that President Bush should not
lead the United States military since he did not serve in the regular
armed forces, than Mr. Kerry should not even claim to defend the
working man since he is living the millionaire lifestyle offered by
his wife's inheritance. As a matter of fact the only indication that
Mr. Kerry understands economics at all is that the inherited fortune
of his second wife is larger than the inherited fortune of his first
wife. And unlike President Bush who once proudly wore the uniform of
the United States military, Mr. Kerry will never know what it is like
to wear the clothes of a working man. The real question is if our
country is ready to elect a president whose view of the military was
shaped by Jane Fonda and whose view of economics was formed by the
inherited fortunes of two wives. If the Democrats want to position the
2004 campaign around a debate on John Kerry's fitness to become
Commander in Chief or connection to the working man, I say, Bring it
on.

Works for me, especially when the alternative is a ***** chickenhawk
deserter with an IQ of 93, a dry drunk religious bigot's rigid, narrow
view, a traitor who violates his oath of office like I change socks.
