Kerryâs Campaign Theme, âLet America Be America Againâ
(Hat tip, Drudge)...At a time of national self-doubt, the Massachusetts senator hopes to project an image of reassuring strength that melds âcan-doâ American optimism with a call for a return to the sense of community." Kerry said, "Talking about âLet America be America againâ is tapping into that value system that people think makes this country strong. " ...And I have a long list of international leaders who are telling me how to do it! Why, just the other day, I was on the phone with Kofi Annan who was advising me on how the United States should conduct itâs affairs..." Please, Senator Kerry, enlighten us as to which time period of American history you would return us? The Carter 70âs with itsâ double digit inflation, and pussified treatment of the Iran situation? Maybe the Clinton era of, "If everyone is making a lot of money, they wonât care that Iâm getting it on in the oval office? No, Iâm sure you mean something like the Roosevelt Era, but of course, that would mean a no-holds-barred facing off against oppressive regimes with every resource at our disposal, and creative, bi-partisan efforts to right the countryâs financial problems. No? Oh, you mean like the Kennedy Era. Hmmm... okay. Well, putting aside his extramarital behavior I seem to recall a certain missile crisis, where if our country had so much as blinked in itâs resolve to oppose an evil regime, weâd all be speaking Russian now, or just glowing green in our graves. And hey, which president was so committed to fighting the spread of Communism, that he sent our first "advisors" over to Viet Nam to help out the French? Well, at any rate, once youâre done consulting with just about everyone else in the world except Americans, on clarifying what America really needs to get back to, please clarify it for the rest of us. I wonât hold my breath though, you havenât the best record when it comes to clarity, or consistency. Posted by: Dripping Sarcasm 2004-05-20 |
