Flashback 1992: America elects a TRUE draft dodger

He routs a Vietnam war hero -- Bob Kerrey (the truly heroic Kerr[e]y) in the primaries and a WWII hero in the general election.

He repeats the feat in 1996, trouncing another WWII hero.

Case closed: Vietnam status is moot.

So, why the spectacle of Dan Rather and an octogenarian Bush Hater whom echoes DNC talking points -- "selected not elected" -- essentialy acceding that THE FRICKING MEMOS ARE FORGED -- which in a non-Bizarro World would signal the end of Rather's career -- yet continuing to thrash the dead horse that is GW Bush's National Guard Service?

Did Bush receive preferential treatment? Who knows? Some say he did, others -- ignored by Rather -- insist he didn't. We know, at least, that he did not lie to his draft board and hop a steamer to England.

What we do know is that Bush flew F-102's. Planes like that often malfunction. Pilots mess up. Guys can die as a result.

The only similar threat faced by Boy Clinton was the possibility of drowning in Newcastle Brown Ale at his fave Oxford pub.

Risking redundancy: It was KERRY who made Vietnam an issue in 2004. And we don't blame him: aside from those four months, his life has been unimpressive.

At best: an awkward goofus who marries rich women and uses their money to embark on an unaccomplished Senate career.

At worst, worthy of our scorn: returning home and turning on his "band of brothers", giving the enemy hope to fight on and an emotional club to use on our POW's, negotiating with the enemy in Paris, hastening our withdrawal from Vietnam and sentencing millions in the region to re-education, exile and extermination, opposing U.S. interests in the final decade of the Cold War, glad-handing with Daniel Ortega ... it goes on and on.

When 250+ "brothers" are amassed in the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, men who sign affadavits countering Kerry's version of the events that led to his medals, they are ignored by the MSM and Dan Rather and their motivations, credibility and funding are questioned. No interview on "60 Minutes"(despite a best-selling book). No demands from the MSM that their charges be answered.

Nada.

Yet the MSM will trumpet the charges of obvious partisans like Ben Barnes, Richard Clarke, Joe Wilson -- even the fantastic hallucinations from the febrile "brain" of the loathesome blob Michael Moore are given air time -- yet emit not a peep when they are later proven false.

We know young GWB was a screw up and a boozehound. Somewhere along the way, though, he changed his life -- that is, he married a great woman and got religion (boy does THIS burn them and is likely the true source of their venom).

He has since gone on to defeat two nut-jobs who thought themselves brighter than he: Ann "Ma" Richards and The Lunatic Al Gore.

As geniuses (hahahaha!) ourselves, we can tell you that Richards is a mental midget and Gore is worse -- a psuedo-intellectual major loon who spews (often literally, what with his lisping problem) multi-syllabic silliness -- but silliness nonethless -- and would be likely living in a shelter somewhere absent his royal parentage.

There's something to be said for the mundane childhood experiences of setting up a lemondade stand in front of your house and being bullied in a sandbox. You learn about the rules of the Marketplace and the Jungle. Most Leftists believe they can learn and understand these rules by memorizing textbooks and attending seminars and can subvert these truths by using their "superior" intellects and pure motives. But the real world isn't like that. There's nothing new under the sun since Adam bit the apple.

The real world consists of people driven by Evil who want to kill us.

There are those who understand -- and proudly and strongly defend us from that Evil.

There are those who don't see the Evil, or who think we deserve what we get from the disciples of Marx (in Vietnam) and Mohammed (today).

Dan Rather and John Kerry have long been in the latter group.

John Kerry gave aid and comfort to the enemy in 1971 and today worries that failed and corrupt former powers will not approve should we choose to vaporize the enemy.

Dan Rather passes off obviously forged documents in a last ditch attempt to save his laughable career.

GWB faces real world Evil and is responsible for keeping YOU and ME and EVERYONE WE LOVE alive. Any mistakes he has made have been in not acting firmly enough ... we wasted time in 2002 seeking UN approval to dispose Hussein (giving Hussein time to spirit his WMD to Syria and to organize the insurgency), we should have razed Torah Borah and Fallujah and to hell with the recriminations from the pantywaists ... but he is the only viable choice in 2004, indeed the only ADULT choice. His opponent is stuck in 1971 and refuses to admit his egregious errors in judgment (how many million dead in Southeast Asia after we pulled out?) and action.

GWB has long since renounced the days of his misspent youth.

Kerry continues to harbor the same jejune worldview he held 35 years ago.

As Commander in Chief, GWB has led actions that have resulted in the manumission of 50 million people. Were he to resign today, his accomplishments would DWARF those of his detractors (and US, for that matter).

Clinton used the office to get tail.

Reagan and Bush used it to change history.

Choose your side wisely.

Now ... anyone wonder where the forged memos originated?
