Vietnam All Over Again


Looks like John Fn Kerry might be right this time...until he changes his tune again.

For the second verifyable time in his otherwise absent political career, John Kerry is plotting against the United States in a foreign war. During the Vietnam War, Kerry worked to publicly discredit the military, the government and to give aid and comfort to those who were killing our troops and contractors.

At least in this one respect, Senator Kerry is consistent. In our current conflict in Iraq, he has used his contacts, influence and platform to try to discredit our military and government. At a time when we should be united as a nation to create a sence of urgency and fear in the hearts of our enemies, John Kerry is complicit in the deaths of every soldier killed in Iraq and Afghanistan.

There may be differences of opinion over what is Patriotic and not. I'm guessing helping people kill our troops is definitely NOT patriotic.

Rathergate 2004

You know how parents can always tell when their kids are lying? I hate to say it, but Dan Rather reminds me of my kids, sometimes.

"William of Occam (or Ockham), a 13th century philosopher, summed it up in what is now paraphrased as “given a choice between two explanations, choose the simpler explanation” (or as he said it, “entities are not to be multiplied without necessity”). You cannot assemble a set of assertions about what MIGHT have been possible using a variety of unrelated technologies that existed in 1972, and somehow magically combine them into a single technology that could have existed in the offices of the Texas Air National Guard, used for casual memos, and produced the memos in question that are VIRTUALLY PIXEL-LEVEL IDENTICAL TO THOSE PRODUCED BY MICROSOFT WORD." (c/o Joseph M. Newcomer at http://www.flounder.com/bush.htm) It's a rather long, technical read -very informative!

Kinda makes you wonder what ELSE CBS has been lying about, doesn't it?
