Sometimes I wonder if I?m not being too hard on John Kerry. As a veteran, I resent him playing up his short time on duty and playing down all he did to distance himself after the fact.
But when I read something like this, I have no doubts about my views.
Isolationists have always been with us. They are often derided as being hicks with no appreciation for the world at large. And they are generally assumed to be conservative?Republican.
You have to look at how the Democrats are acting, though, and you?ll see they are the ones who are isolationist. Free trade? Not on my watch. Foreign intervention? Only if we get permission from abroad to enter their yard.
Kerry knows America must be defended. He knows nobody else in the world can do it, and that nobody else in the world is willing to do it. If he cannot see that, and he is sincere in his beliefs, he doesn?t have the analytical skills necessary to be President. I don?t think he?s sincere. He?s intelligent, and has heard all the facts in ways none of his followers have. He chooses to ignore the fact, and pander to a group he hopes will give him the prize he?s sought all his life.
If he gets it, he promises to go around the world, hat in hand, to make nice. He?ll get chewed to bits, and won?t see it coming. As I?ve said before, he has all the markings of a new Jimmy Carter?without the integrity.
Picture Kerry and imagine the cursor as Kofi Annan!
Off topic, but I’m too lazy to open my email to write you properly. Per your comment about trying to find s charity for Afghanistan, have you tried contacting Sgt Hook? He’s getting ready to head there soon…maybe he knows something or might want to start something.

Stupid, stupid, stupid. I wrote it in Word, and the quote marks for the hyperlink become something else in HTML. I knew that. Attention to detail.
Fixed now.
