KERRY STEPS UP
Re: Jay D. Homnick's Kerry Throws a Party:

Senator Kerry sure stepped in the macaca this time!

Anything Jay D. (David, I hope) Homnick writes, I listen. Yes, LISTEN! I can hear the man speaking as I read his literary judo and cultural teachings. It is, course, a result of my having lived around (and run with some) Jews in my growing-up years. I imagined that TAS would run a commentary on "Snottier-And Stupider-Than Algore." J.D.'s piece was DELUXE. He dispatched one of the lowest of the SS (Satan's Sellouts) with the aplomb of John the Baptist, and the cutting audacious humor of -- Jay D. Homnick

Thanks for speaking my mind on this part of John "F" (pick of word, any word will fit) Kerry's self-selected low life.

Much is being written about John Kerry's recent slander of our troops, but much more needs to be said. Mr. Homnick says that the aphorism directed at him by a friend applies to Kerry as well. Wrong Mr. Homnick! Kerry could never be a wise guy nor a wise man; he can't pull either of them off simply because he is a preening prep schooled, legacy admitted Yale D (for dullard), well-married Boston Brahmin fool of a man. To paraphrase Dean Wormer in the movie Animal House, "Mr. Kerry, rich, arrogant and stupid is no way to go through life". But as Mr. Homnick correctly implies, Kerry is indeed the poster-boy of the upper-echeloned intelligentsia that rules today's Democrat Party and the MSM. These are the rapidly fading, 1960s bi-costal elites that are attempting one last stab, at what Mark Levin calls, their "Mercedes Marxism..."

Since we all are human it is not unusual to "step into it." However, it one "steps into it" one should avoid putting one's foot into one's mouth.

Kerry's claims of being "misquoted" are about the dumbest thing I have ever heard since Charles Barkley claimed he was misquoted in his autobiography.
-- Warren Mowry

I'm proud to be everything Democrats love to hate -- a white Southern male heterosexual Christian military officer. To make things worse I'm the son of a retired Air Force NCO, have a Master's degree and soon will have the equivalent of another one, I'm a lifetime member of the NRA, an active member of the SCV, drive an AWD vehicle, I'm pro-life, have two dogs, own my on home, have money in the bank, own stocks, vote straight Republican and love my wife. Too bad I'm so dumb I'm hoping to be deployed to Iraq in the near future to support the GWOT.

Thanks Senator Kerry for warning young people not follow in my stupid footsteps.

John Kerry is the gift that keeps on giving. In my living room, as testament to his stupidity in 2004, I have a Kerry-sized poster cutout that a German student gave my husband for his birthday. My husband's birthday was just days after the debacle of Kerry's last run. My husband, a Vietnam vet, cannot abide the man. I thought he might mount the poster on a tree in the back pasture for target practice but he didn't. Attached to the poster is a bumper sticker I had printed that reads, "John Kerry is an idiot!" During Kerry's acceptance speech in 2004, I begged my husband, a retired LTC, not to listen, as it would raise his blood pressure. With steel nerves he sat in the living room for all of five minutes and then paced the floor back and forth to the bedroom, where I'd settled for a good movie. He alternately yelled and cussed for the entire speech at Kerry. I still marvel at the creativity of some of my husband's pet phrases for Kerry.

My husband still remembers Kerry the man who committed treason during wartime by meeting with the enemy in Paris. He still remembers the taunts Kerry gave and the lies at the hearing before Congress. He still remembers being reviled and spat upon by other Americans, in part due to behaviors born on American college campuses. He still remembers. And so do others. Wait on Election Day and see what propels us, the silent majority, to vote.

And when John Kerry opens his mouth I thank God in Heaven for allowing that man here on earth. Kerry is the gift that keeps on giving. I believe we will say that on Election Day with all my heart.

John Kerry is a fool and idiot. And should he have the testicularity to visit West Virginia again, I invite him to stop by where I work. There, he can speak with an engineer who, as a member of a National Guard artillery unit, spent time in Iraq. Kerry could also speak with the manager, whose son is an Army major and currently in Iraq. If they don't give the Bay Stater a quick education, I know at least one other person who will.

Oh, I forgot: Both soldiers are college grads. And from what I can tell, they serve their country because they actually love it, not for political purpose. They also have no record of sympathizing with Communists during wartime nor aiding and abetting terrorists by their demoralizing, execrable statements.

No forthcoming apologies? Maybe in a few days, John Kerry will reconsider and offer a Dixie Chick apology for his recent remarks. But it hardly seems worth waiting for…
