March 22, 2004
Morning everyone! Now that the election campaigns have begun in earnest in both Canada and the US, I will devote the lion's share of the weekly posts to politics. However, there will still be Kyle time, hockey time and baseball time. So don't worry.
I think today I will focus on John Kerry and maybe throw in some tidbits about the man I see as the Dukakis for the new millenium.
So we all know that Senator Kerry served in Vietnam and was awarded the Purple Heart, more than once actually. I would never and will never dispute the fact that Kerry fought and shed blood for his country. One of Kerry's comrades has suggested that Kerry wasn't the gung ho soldier he professes to be and in fact tried to avoid contact with the enemy whenever possible. Kerry's only rebuttal to this accusation was to call the man a "Republican".
However, Kerry's record once he returned home is dispicable. He so much as called his fellow soldiers murderers and quite possibly attended a meeting of a radical veterans group that was committed to the assassination of US Senators that supported the war. Further into Senator Kerry's career, he has voted against nearly every bill designed to aid the military. He tried to shoot down everything from the Bradley Fighting Vehicle to body armor for soldiers to combat pay for soldiers. Not exactly what you would call a true friend of the military.
Old Flip Flop Kerry also has an abysmal attendance record in the Senate. The man who votes for things before he votes against them rarely shows up. The last time he did (as far as I know) was to vote on a gun control bill. So much for Kerry portraying himself as an avid hunter.
Finally, the International Man of Mystery, who came out and said that unnamed foreign leaders want him to be President before declaring he no longer wants foreign endorsments has received a few doozies over the last little while. The former Prime Minister of Malaysia (a rabid anti-Semite), the Socialist Prime Minister-Elect of Spain, and everyone's favorite despot, Kim Jong Il of North Korea have all come out in favor of Senator Kerry. The North Koreans even broadcast his speeches on state radio. With ringing endorsements like these, why does George W. even bother??
I could go on and on about Mr. Kerry, but would likely get carpal tunnel syndrome. Instead I will just mention again that I love the fact that liberals and their ilk hate GWB so much that they will resort to anything to get him ousted. They even seem to like terrorists more than their own President.
Israel
The Israelis have assassinated the Palestinian spiritual leader recently (I forget his name) and the ensuing condemnations from everyone come as no surprise. I cant say I blame the Israelis for this one as they are engaged in a war with the Palestinians that no one seems to recognize. Are they just supposed to endure random acts of violence against their citizens and take it with a grin? If I were in their shoes and had to share space with a terrorist organization like the PLO who are the darling of the far left and peace protestors the world over, I would be a little edgy too. Its high time that we put anti-Semitism to bed for good so the world can move on to a more prosperous future.
Canada
Congratulations to Mr. Harper for winning the leadership of the Conservative Party of Canada. Hopefully the new party will have much success in the upcoming election and oust the tired and corrupt Liberal government. I would go so far as to predict a new wave of optimism and prosperity in Canada if this were to come to fruition. It would also do wonders for Canada-US relations.
I am likely going to post again later today.
I'm out.
