Why you shouldn't dare consider John Kerry as a candidate

Folks, do you believe in Communism? Do you believe in a system of government in which the state plans and controls the economy and a single, often authoritarian party holds power, claiming to make progress toward a higher social order in which all goods are equally shared by the people? Folks, do you believe that there is no God? Do you believe that God is dead? Do you believe in waiting on bread lines? Praying to your God in an underground hidden ceremony so that the proletariat does not catch you? Do you believe that one should not worship a deity but should only endorse a government set up for the people, by the people, like your co-op? Or condominium retirement community?

If you do believe in communist principles, then you will be dissappointed that Vietnamese communist officials ordered a war museum in Ho Chi Minh City to remove a photograph of John Kerry from a display that was highlighted in "Unfit for Command," the best-seller challenging the John F'n Kerry's version of his military service and his antiwar activities. "Unfit for Command" described the photo as "part of an exhibit honoring heroes who had helped the Vietnamese communists win the war against the United States."

Folks, there is controversy about every single aspect of Kerry's service – from the time he signed up for duty, to his brief command of a Navy swiftboat in Vietnam, to his commendations, to his medical records, to his departure from Vietnam and, now, even the question of whether he was honorably discharged.

John Kerry, release your records!

It is increasingly clear that Kerry wants to offer the American people only the most sanitized version of events involving his military record. He wants to revise history to portray himself as a hero, rather than a traitor.

John Kerry is intentionally deceiving the American public about who he is and was.

He doesn't want you to know he was a reluctant veteran.

He doesn't want you to know he was a malcontent from the day he took on the swiftboat assignment.

He doesn't want you to know he padded his resume to glorify his own role in every action.

He doesn't want you to know he got medals for self-inflicted wounds.

He doesn't want you to know how and why he left Vietnam after only four months.

He doesn't want you to know how he changed sides in the war after coming home and embraced the enemy.

He doesn't want you to know how he maligned his comrades – falsely accusing them of war crimes and racism.

He doesn't want you to know how he "negotiated" with the enemy on foreign soil and came back promoting their political agenda.

He doesn't want you to know how he marched under the Viet Cong flag and the upside-down American flag.

He doesn't want you to know how he sold his country down the river.

He doesn't want you to know how he sold out the hopes and dreams of freedom for millions of Vietnamese.

He doesn't want you to know how he contributed to the holocaust that followed in Southeast Asia.

He doesn't want you to know ...

He doesn't want you to remember ...

I remember. I will never forget. And I know there are millions of other Americans who will never forget.

It's time for you to share those memories. Americans are a forgetful people. Many younger Americans have not been told the truth about Vietnam. Those of us who know the truth have just over a week to share it with those who don't.

Yes, Kerry is wrong for America because of his constantly evolving and heavily nuanced positions on all sides of issues.

Yes, Kerry is wrong for America because of his notorious track record in the Senate.

Yes, Kerry is wrong for America because of his failed character.

But, most of all, Kerry is wrong for America because of his treason in 1971. His treachery should disqualify him from consideration for the presidency. His sedition should disqualify him from serving in the U.S. Senate.

He has never apologized. He has never acknowledged he made a mistake. He has never asked for forgiveness. He has never tried to repair the damage he has done. Instead he has compounded the lies.

And that record of deceit should disqualify him even from respectable company among decent Americans.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR VOTE ON THE TRAITOR, JOHN KERRY!!
