"Johnny, we already knew ye"

A revealing column in Monday's Boston Globe by renowned author James Carroll makes an eloquent statement of John Kerry's politics. He clearly states the far left positions that are driving the Democrat Party, and have been driving away people from Ronald Reagan to Zell Miller. Like the the ideas that the US is the terrorist nation, and Gorbachev's good offices ended the Cold War that had been the delight of the American military-industrial complex. I guess it shows that eloquence doesn't rule out stupidity. In fact, eloquence is trumped by the malicious silliness of ideas like Carroll's.

Any thought that Kerry had changed his stripes from being the country's disciple of defeat to a viable commander-in-chief disappeared on that same Monday with Kerry's speech at NYU. Now, Iraq is a disaster and Kerry wants us to flee the scene ASAP.

Surprisingly, the nuanced and mutable candidate turns out to be exactly who we always knew him to be. Obviously, the reason he cares so much about the opinions of Europe, the UN and the world is that he rather disdains this country, especially the opinions of those who enjoy brat and beer at "Lambert" Field in Green Bay. Kerry is focused on the defeat of US interests, just like he was 35 years ago and ever since. If that's what you want, don't punch that chad for Bush: he's the candidate who is focused on victory.
