Kerry Debacle Provides Glimpse Into Attitude of Democrats

Other than showing to the world that he is about three cards shy of a full deck, Senator John Kerry (D-Mass.) gave us a brief glimpse into the attitude of the Democrat party leadership today. He told a group of students in California to study hard or they'll wind up in Iraq, the meaning of which is clear. Smart students don't join the military. Only the dumb ones get 'stuck in Iraq.'

The good Senator, of course, went to View Nam as a young man, which puts on full display his lack of intelligence (to use the Senator's logic).

Be that as it may, the statement made today by the pride of Massachusetts more importantly displays the real attitude Democrats have toward the military and those who join it. They are simply not too smart. One has to study hard, make good grades, and graduate with honors in order to avoid having to resort to the low-life task of defending the country.

This is in spite of the fact that some of America's brightest youths attend schools such as West Point and that many students who graduate at the top of their class in high school delay their college education in order to spend a few years serving their country.

Kerry's comment set off a firestorm of controversy. Yet Kerry refuses to apologize for the remark. One Democrat congressman stated, 'He is not content with just blowing the 2004 Presidential race. Now he wants to blow the 2006 mid-term elections as well.'

He just might. Even some Democrats are up in arms. Veterans' groups are up in arms. Republicans are up in arms. Service men and woman serving in Iraq are up in arms. Any American who truly loves this country should be up in arms.

The problem with Kerry and his ilk who run the Democrat party goes far beyond a few words uttered in a speech. The problem goes straight to the heart of the Party leadership ever since the Viet Nam war. By embracing people like George McGovern, Jimmy Carter, Michael Dukakis, Ted Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi, John Conyers, Diane Feinstein, Barbara Boxer, and John Kerry, the Democrats make it clear that their values are far removed from the heartland of America. They really do feel that people who fight in wars are to be viewed with suspicion, not only for their 'lack of intelligence' but for their actions that result in death. Most of the hard-core Democrat party actitivists spout such nonsense as 'It is just as bad for our military be killing people in Iraq as it was for Saddam to kill people.'

That one statement alone makes it abundantly clear that in the view of these ultra left-wing militants our military personnel in Iraq are just as despicable as Saddam, not to mention that it portrays an alarming inability to discern between good and evil.

They would probably support placing our troops on trial before the International World Court of the European Union, which most Democrats support our joining.

This is one of the many reasons why it is imperative that Americans resist putting the Democrats in control of Congress. The underlying mindset that motivates the Party elite is a dangerous one.
