Just one small nit to pick...

John Kerry "saw extensive combat..." In three months? Lest we forget the standard tour for sons of the middle class was 12 to 14 months depending on your branch of service.

Prince Albert's daddy, the King of Tennessee, arranged a safe, short, tour for his baby to ensure if history was ever revised to show the sacrifices made by our soldiers, Prince Albert could say "I invented sacrifice because I was there," thus maintaining his political viability.

King Jean Francois The Fatuous, rode around on a boat for a few months writing himself up for decorations every time someone shot at him. He then approved those decorations and awarded them to himself and went home far short of a full tour because of those awards he made to himself.

His comrades of course, we not rich sons of the democrat elite and so had to soldier (sailor) on and actually see extensive combat.

So please, do not write about either of these sons of arrogant liberal privilege in the same sentence as those brave young men who wrote that blank check to their country. It said "pay to bearer _____________."

The payment could be as simple as a year or even simpler: eternity. Neither John Kerry or Al Gore ever wrote that check.

Re: Peter Ferrara's Obama's Left-Wing Extremism:

Terrific roundup.

America will not elect this scoundrel. There are too many decent and thoughtful people left in this country to allow this disaster caused by the narrow-minded spite, resentment, hatred, and misdirection of others.

But it does appear that some in America -- the elite-Democrats-and-liberals-leftists-progressives coalition and anyone aiding and abetting them -- no longer take seriously not just the position of the presidency, but also our very freedoms and sovereignty.

How could they, offering this arrogant, dangerous, morally anchorless, inexperienced, ignorant-in-the-things-that-matter narcissist, fascist and mercenary -- and, yes, fake Christian -- from Illinois?

Peter Ferrara opined:

"So the true picture of who Obama is should now be clear. His consistently extreme left policy positions are well grounded deep into his past, dating back even to the prep school Marxism of his youth."

I know that this will make me sound like an unsophisticated heathen, but I've come to realize that my preferences in wine are exactly the Obamas' preferences in societal groups: I'm very, very fond of reds -- and I despise whites!
