Special Report:  Bizarre in Boston
by Jack Kinsella

Democrats are gathering in Boston for their national convention - with
John Kerry expected to be crowned as their nominee to run for president.
With just 100 days left before polling day, Kerry told the New York Times
enough time remained for him to prove his credentials on national
security.

 "I'm just quite confident that as the next months of the campaign go on,
I am going to have the ability to be able to make it clear to America that
I can make this country safe and strong," he said.

 This morning, as part of its coverage of the week-long party, MSNBC
profiled the beginnings of John Kerry's political career, including
considerable footage of young John Kerry's criticism of the Vietnam War
and the men who fought in it.

 The footage included the famous medal-throwing incident in which Vietnam
veterans took turns throwing their medals over the White House fence.
There was footage of John Kerry describing his former comrades-in-arms as
'monsters' who committed unspeakable atrocities in combat.

I don't know if it was deliberate or not, but during the commercial break,
a John Kerry campaign ad aired in which Kerry's service in Vietnam and his
three Purple Hearts were the highlight of the spot.

 It was probably a coincidence that it aired when it did, but it seemed
more than a little bizarre to watch the young John Kerry damning all
Vietnam veterans as monsters in one moment, and then to see an older John
Kerry asking voters to elect him because he is a Vietnam war 'hero'.

 Even more bizarre, given the circumstances, was when MSNBC returned to
its coverage of John Kerry, describing his efforts to convince America
that the Kerry/Edwards ticket will make America safer than George Bush --
because Kerry served in Vietnam while Bush was a National Guard pilot,
'ensuring Texas didn't get invaded by Oklahoma', as Kerry once sneeringly
described it.

 I could be wrong, but I don't think John Kerry quite gets it.  The
Vietnam War is over, and we lost. The reason that we lost was because of
John Kerry and his compatriots.  The Vietnam War had been won militarily
in 1969, but the political war concurrently waged by Hanoi on the home
front was racking up victory after victory.  Hanoi's aim was to use public
opinion to accomplish what the communists failed to do using force of
arms.

In the political war against America, Hanoi's top 'general' was John
Kerry.  The Watergate Scandal resulted in a judicial coup d'etat by the
Democrats against Richard Nixon.  John Kerry led the anti-war front, while
Hillary Clinton was among the fresh-faced Democratic lawyers orchestrating
Nixon's ultimate removal from the Oval Office.

 I know, I know. Nixon broke the law.  Then he lied about it.  So did
Johnson (Gulf of Tonkin), as did Kennedy before him (Bay of Pigs) and
Eisenhower (Gary Powers/U2 incident) before him . . . I could go on, but
that should be sufficient to making the point.

 Historians like to explain it as a 'turbulent time in our history' and
let it go at that, because nobody wants to be seen defending Richard
Nixon. Forget about Richard Nixon for a minute, and look at the Big
Picture.

 The sitting President of the United States was forced from office --
during wartime -- over a cover-up effort that, when compared to the
whoppers told by his three consecutive predecessors, barely rose to the
level of a scandal, let alone a full-blown impeachment.  With Nixon's
resignation, Gerald Ford became the first appointed President in US
history.  (Nixon appointed Ford as VP after Agnew had similarly been
forced from office)

 Are you starting to get the picture?  No?  Within months of Nixon's
resignation, Hanoi declared victory over South Vietnam and Saigon was
renamed Ho Chi Minh City.

 We now return to John Kerry's Vietnam 'service' -- not the part he wants
to highlight, but the part he wants to hide.  The part where he went to
Vietnam, somehow managed to garner three Purple Hearts in four months
without actually getting hurt, before returning home to lead the political
effort to end the Vietnam War in Hanoi's favor.

 What Kerry doesn't get is that there aren't any more Vietnam War
protestors, especially among its veterans.  Like Kerry, they've gotten
older, and now see things from the perspective of hindsight.  In
retrospect, they see what their comrades died for. One need look no
further than what Vietnam became once the North took control. I typed the
search phrase "Vietnam Christian" into Google and the following news
report came up second.

"An estimated 400 Christians have been killed in brutal repression of
peaceful and prayerful demonstrations by Montagnard Christians in the
Central Highlands of Vietnam, according to the Barnabas Fund, quoting
information from The Montagnard Foundation.

The report states that on Saturday April 10 up to 400,000 Vietnamese
Christians, from the Degar people, gathered in several Vietnamese cities
to demonstrate against the government's refusal to allow them to follow
the Christian faith freely.

"The demonstrators in the cities, which included the Central Highland city
of Buonmathuot, were attacked by soldiers, police and other Vietnamese
civilians. The Christians were shot at, beaten with electric batons and
bombarded with rocks and stones. Hundreds were killed (400 according to
one report) and many others have suffered broken bones," the Barnabas Fund
said."

To get a sense of what Americans shed their blood on the battlefields of
Vietnam to PREVENT, browse

The men who died in Vietnam didn't 'die for nothing' -- they died for a
noble cause that guys like John Kerry dragged through the mud for their
own political gain.  They died for the cause of freedom -- to prevent
Vietnam from becoming what it is today.  They didn't die for a lost cause;
the cause was betrayed for political gain.

This week, the Democrats will honor their heroes, with Bill Clinton,
Hillary Clinton, Al Gore and Jimmy Carter all slated to speak to the party
faithful, and by extension, to the nation and the world.

Hillary Rodham Clinton, Watergate lawyer.  Bill Clinton, who avoided the
draft by breaking the law, Jimmy Carter, who was elected on a platform
that amounted to a total capitulation to Hanoi.  Al Gore, whose own
service in Vietnam was the subject of controversy after it was revealed
that Senator Gore's son Al was kept from combat and had a cadre of
'bodyguards' assigned to him.

All there to introduce John Kerry, the antiwar leader that Richard Nixon
himself called the 'most dangerous' of the antiwarrior leadership.  Kerry
will undoubtedly cite his service in Vietnam, proudly display his medals
that he once claimed to have returned in the medal-throwing protest, and
talk about how only John Kerry can keep 'America safe'.

And there are still people out there who think they are too smart to be
brainwashed. Even as their brains are in full spin cycle.  Previous
generations of Americans would shake their heads in astonishment -- this
generation is unique.

It is the generation that will one day worship the antichrist, mindlessly
chanting the mantra of the day;

"And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they
worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to
make war with him?" (Revelation  13:4)
