Many people may not like ***** Morris on ethical grounds, but he is still a
shrewd political analyst and operative. That is why Bill Clinton,
when things were going bad for him after 1996, hired Morris as a White House adviser.
In the following article titled "Kerry, the Democrats' Albatross", Morris
argues that the Demagogues have made a bad mistake in selecting someone so
far out of the American ideological mainstream. Kerry in his "liberalism"
can be compared to McGovern, Mondale and
Dukakis whom American voters rejected by landslides . Jimmy Carter
and Bill Clinton, two disastrous closet "liberals" slipped by while pretending
to be something else, moderates from the South.
Morris points out that Kerry's radical liberalism comes out in his senate voting
record where he opposed the first Gulf War, voted against a funding bill for the
U.S. military in Afghanistan and Iraq and voted to emasculate American intelligence
agencies by cutting their funding. He showed himself to be against American family
values and for gay marriage; he opposes capital punishment,
and is soft, soft, soft against America's terrorist enemies. In summary, Kerry in these
very dangerous times would be a disaster for the U.S. as president. It would be like
installing Jane Fonda or Michael Moore in the White House.
Kerry has even made veiled references to wanting American to withdraw from the
war against Islamic terrorism, as if it would be even possible to carry out such a
defeatist act.

Laissez faire as the theory of the hour
seems to have replaced central planning,
nationalization, "democratic" socialism,
and the thoughts of Senator Edward
Kennedy. The free market--triumphing or not--
has been recognized as a potent and ultimately
unavoidable force in human events.--P.J.O'Rourke
