Veterans

John Kerry, the oh so pompous…who is seeking some legacy other than the betrayal of his comrades in arms in Viet Nam, has decided to extend his treasonous activities to brand new generations of our servicemen and women. Kerry is despicable. Thank the Lord above that the honorable men of the Swift Boat Veterans had the courage of their convictions and stopped Kerry’s White House aspirations. As it turned out it only deferred us the disaster which is Barack Hussein Obama. Barry and Kerry deserve each other. They share the same yellow streak. Obama’s inability to make a decision to send the resources to Afghanistan that the field commanders in charge have determined are required to accomplish the mission, despite the advice of the finest military minds in the country, is irresponsible and well… it’s cowardly. Every two bit tinhorn  bad guy in the world sees Obama for what he is…weak, ineffectual, indecisive and therefore not to be feared. John Kerry has already proven his yellow creds…his shameless self promotion and the outright prevarication of his service record were and are an embarrassment to the entire officer corps of the US military. Except perhaps a Jack Murtha who gave his honor away long ago. Kerry’s appearance before Congress as a member of the Viet Nam Veterans against the war was a LITANY of untruths created of whole cloth…and an insult to hundreds of thousands of men and women who served during the Viet Nam era faithfully upholding the oaths they swore. Now John Kerry seeks to falsify another  LEGACY on the bodies of our honored dead. Every day that Obama stalls in his decision and every day that the BOMBASTIC Mr Kerry goes in front of the cameras to play out his seditious game at our military’s expense is a day there is American blood on his and  Obama’s hands. Clearly there is gross malfeasance at work in the administration and in the halls of Congress. How long will we allow these truly evil people to play with the lives of those for who they are not fit to carry water? The day of reckoning cannot come soon enough. The ballot box is our recourse…The nearest opportunity is 2010. Let them hear us loudly and clearly.

There is a largely ignored, little known or understood demographic out there, that the Obama Thugfest would prefer stayed silent or went away. America’s veterans are only usually consulted or cited when some one, or another politician, needs to use us for election, or to save an incumbency, or to legitimize some political scheme or another. This by NO measure is meant to denigrate the excellent works of Veteran’s Organizations such as The American Legion, the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the Marine Corps League and the Purple Heart Society. There are others with which I am not as familiar, they are not excluded here on purpose. These organizations are known for their selfless good works and generosity. Heretofore, they have been pretty much the only voice of millions of veterans, past and present. This a huge and GROWING demographic…there are some 23.7 MILLION vets out there of all stripes. Women, Men, Hispanics, Blacks, Whites, and Asians. They have one thing in common…a profound love and respect for this country, the Constitution they swore to protect and defend and the service they gave.

Naturally, as with any large grouping there are notable exceptions. The Reverend Jeremiah Wright, Obama’s mentor and the guy Obama listened to spewing hatred against the country that nurtured him for 20 years, is one. He was a naval hospital corpsman. And there is John ‘Gunboats’ Kerry, who clandestinely met with our enemy, the North Vietnamese, in the dark of night in Paris, France, and then with instructions from his handlers firmly in mind returned home to stab his erstwhile brothers-in-arms in the back by going in front of Congress and manufacturing atrocities, supposedly committed by US forces, out of whole cloth. There are the inevitable dropouts to alcohol and drugs…but this is nothing new and has  been with us from every war. This is a miniscule number when considered against the whole…most of us come back, live our lives as responsible citizens, husbands, wives, fathers and mothers. I used to wonder what would happen if this largely passive, immense demographic were pushed to the point of intolerability by an increasingly oppressive and unresponsive government. I may get a chance to find out.

There is an emerging group of veterans, both active and retired, and police active and retired. They are called “Oath Keepers” who have pledged to prevent dictatorship in this country by pledging  to ask police and the military to lay down their arms and not obey orders they deem unlawful or unconstitutional, and to stand by their Oaths to the Constitution. You know…the first American revolution didn’t start over a hell of a lot more than this. Please note: these folks are NOT calling for the overthrow of the government…though this government certainly needs a wake up call. Neither are they calling for armed insurrection. They are simply calling for our elected government and the people who are supposed to represent us in it, who swore to OBEY the Constitution of the United States of America to… ABIDE BY THE OATHS THEY AFFIRMED BEFORE GOD!!

It sure seems that some forms of hardline anarchist liberalism weren't very well received in NY 20, now does it?

Maybe President Obama ought to hold the next G-20 meeting in Rennsalaer County?

Today's VDH column is priceless.  Money quote:

We are warned that we must be careful not to explicitly associate the radical Islam that fueled the September 11 attacks with terrorism; yet, we are advised that we should worry about returning American veterans as potential terrorists.

One of the more annoying/juvenile attributes of the American left is that they see the American right as more dangerous than Communists/Terrorists/Whoever Comes Next.

That is all.

Cahnman out.
