"You know, education, if you make the most of it, if you study hard and you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, uh, you, you can do well. If you don’t, you get stuck in Iraq." –Senator John Kerry (D-MA)
Anyone who asked the question, "Does the Democratic Party really support our troops?" need go no further for the answer. It’s "No." What kind of despicable American would make such comments about our fighting men and women? John Kerry.
Three things happened when I heard this comment from the hateful Senator. First, blinding outrage and complete disgust with all things Democrat. Second, the realization that Mr. Kerry never passes up an opportunity to insult America. And third, I felt shame that any soldier would hear or read it. The men and women that join our military are the brightest and bravest our country has to offer. In short, they are our best and do not deserve to be insulted in this way or any other.
Since John Kerry and the Democrats refuse to apologize to our troops for not only his remarks, but the beliefs that his remarks so obviously reflect; I will. I am not a Democrat nor do I work for or support John Kerry. I am nevertheless ashamed that these people are considered Americans. I am ashamed that our troops in the field, and elsewhere, had to hear this come out of the mouth of a sitting U.S. Senator. I am ashamed that the hard working and patriotic families of our troops had to hear this on their radios and televisions throughout the country. I am ashamed as an American that our political system has come to this. And I am truly sorry for the Senator’s elitist remarks and complete disregard for the military that has served this country so well. A veteran should know better.
Anyone who was undecided in this election needs to pay close attention to what the Democratic Party actually stands for. Maybe I should be thanking Senator Kerry for bringing the beliefs of his party into the light.
