The real thing
It’s downright laughable to see liberal Democrats trying to assume the mantle of two of the many things they despise about America: religion and the military. Are they fooling you?
John Kerry of late has been quoting Scripture in churches, no doubt because the Bible has played such an important part in his life. This would be something of a surprise, since neither a personal relationship with God nor familiarity with Scripture is the usual focus for Catholics. It’s revealing, therefore, that the Scripture he quotes is from the Protestant Bible, not that of the Catholic Church. Not only Protestant, but from the King James Version, written when the fields were still blood-soaked from the religious wars of the sixteenth century.
Revealing, but not surprising for a candidate whose web site proudly declared that his favorite verse was John 16:3. Now, as anyone who has watched a sporting event knows, even one at “Lambert” Field, that nut with the funny hair usually holds up a sign that cites John 3:16, known to many Christians as “the Bible in miniature.” I leave it to you to look up Kerry’s favorite verse and see how prescient his choice is.
As uncomfortable as they are with religion, the Liberals are even more out of place when the military is mentioned. It is clear that they have no interest in Kerry’s military record beyond the fact that he served in Vietnam, since it serves as an anodyne for the shameful way they treated the returning soldiers in that war. They also use it like wolfbane against the accusations of being soft on defense.
The truth is that they want what Kerry wants: to retreat from Iraq, cut joint and bone from the military budget and abandon the remains to the regency of the UN. In the meantime they will submit the autonomy of their own country to the guidance of that same entity and judge our actions in the World Court.
Kerry’s a phony on both faith and war, and his record attests to that point. In fact, his supporters are counting on it. You want the Real Thing? Vote for Bush.
