Frank asks, “What’s Missing From Kerry’s Vocabulary?”
In 1971, he said this:
“we cannot fight communism all over the world, and I think we should have learned that lesson by now.”
I won’t spoil the rest of it for you. He has broken the code that’s troubled him for nine months regarding Kerry’s mein.
Kerry parrots what RFK said in the famous debate with Ronald Reagan: we have to learn to live with Communism.
I’ve said for a long time that RFK was one of the most influential politicians of the 1960s for all the wanna-bes he created. It was the start of the end for the Democratic Party that FDR built, right there: “soft on communism,” and look where it got all of us.

Of course. That’s how this blog game is played! Every time I’ve had something similar happen, the server goes down or I get spammed, or the server is slow….
You write and think well. Glad to have you on my link list.
