The Harvard Crimson Online from February 18, 1970, is linked by Drudge. The Kerry then pretty much matches the Kerry of today. Scary.
Kerry said that the United Nations should have control over most of our foreign military operations. “I’m an internationalist. I’d like to see our troops dispersed through the world only at the directive of the United Nations.”
On other issues, Kerry wants “to almost eliminate CIA activity. The CIA is fighting its own war in Laos and nobody seems to care.” He also favors a negative income tax and keeping unemployment at a very low level, “even if it means selective economic controls.”
I feel like I’ve been Kerry-bashing the last few days. That wasn’t the original intent, because I was simply trying to learn more about the presumptive Democratic nominee. What concerns me most is that we at least knew Lieberman and Dean. I don’t think Kerry is knowable except as a Kennedy wannabe. And not Robert Kennedy, the best of the bunch, but a new Ted Kennedy, the worst of the bunch.
