By the way, a word on Kerry's recent conversion to being a defense hawk:

After decades of attempts by liberals to screw the military, including Clinton's gay entry social experiment, it galls me to see them now pretend to be for a strong military! Listen, I grew up in a military family...my father and grandfather were both U.S. Marines and served honorably (they didn't march with Jane Fonda and falsely accuse their comrades of being baby-killers). There was a stark contrast in how Republican adminstrations viewed the military and how Democrat administrations viewed it, and their views were implemented in policy.

Today's Democratic party has been overtaken by the dope-smoking, tree-hugging, tie-dye hippie anti-war crowd from the 1960's. Their contempt for the military and for intelligence has been palpable for nearly four decades now. They wanted to make nice with the USSR while Reagan was winning the Cold War against them. They (especially Kerry) fought Reagan's attempt to stop the spread of communism to Central America. They (especially Kerry) fought against the first Gulf War, which had the things Kerry purports to seek today: UN approval, a broad international coalition, etc. Never mind that Iraq had invaded and conquered Kuwait, and was going to do the same to Saudi Arabia after that...seems like liberals never learned the lesson of appeasement from similar German behavior 50 years prior.

Yet now, here we are in a war for our survival, and wouldn't you know it? In their apoplectic fits and insatiable thirst to depose George W. Bush from office, they're trying to convince the American people that they have been converted to military jock sniffers!

Welcome to the game, liberals...albeit about 40 years too late! Their rhetoric today belies their record of 40 years. Oh, well, there are enough "Kerry Kool-Aid drinkers" voting to make this race interesting.
