Kerry slams Trump's wall, tells grads to prepare for 'borderless world'
2016-05-09
[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] Secretary of State John F. I was in Vietnam, you know Kerry
Former Senator-for-Life from Massachussetts, self-defined war hero, speaker of French, owner of a lucky hat, conqueror of Cambodia, and current Secretary of State...
 took a shot at Donald Trump during his Friday commencement speech at Northeastern University, by saying no wall is big enough to keep dangerous forces of Evil out of the United States.

"Many of you were in elementary school when you learned the toughest lesson of all on 9/11," he said. "There are no walls big enough to stop people from anywhere, tens of thousands of miles away, who are determined to take their own lives while they target others."

"So I think that everything that we've lived and learn tells us that we will never come out on top if we accept advice from sound-bite salesmen and carnival barkers who pretend the most powerful country on Earth can remain great by looking inward," Kerry added. "And hiding behind walls at a time that technology has made that impossible to do and unwise to even attempt."
He says this as armed soldiers roll out razor wire along borders across Europe. Truly a classic John F. Kerry display of "understanding".

#12  As for what kind of govt will it be, ask the Cambodians. Or anyone who survived the Great Leap Forward.

Hell, ask the Tibetans he's screwing over in the present day with the help of The Party.

#11  #9 OK. But I think the biggest question is who will govern this new borderless world and what kind of government will it be?
Please see the Book of Revelation in your Holy Bible. You are welcome.

#10  The biggest question is who will govern this new borderless world

No worries! The world will be run by a well-educated elite. Today's college students are tomorrow's leaders. And kommisars.

As for what kind of govt will it be, ask the Cambodians. Or anyone who survived the Great Leap Forward.

#9  OK. But I think the biggest question is who will govern this new borderless world and what kind of government will it be? Just thinking about it kinda makes me shudder.

#7  We can't remain great by looking inward?

What does that even mean?

When you look outward and see millions upon millions of Third World types trying to get into your country, you build a wall. If you want to keep looking outward you get a ladder so you can look over the wall.

I don't get it. I don't think Kerry is making any sense at all. But what is most disturbing is that a lot if not all of those graduates probably sat there listening to him without questioning any of it.

#6  How about a 'toll wall.' My guess is it would pay for itself in just a few years, the the toll could be removed.

It would be a gov't 'toll wall' what was I thinking :-(

#5  Don't forget foreign aid to Mexico. IIRC, last time I looked it was $500 million a year. So if the wall costs $10 billion you build $500 million worth every year until it's done. But I thought Trump's remittances plan was pretty cool too.

#4  Funding of the wall? Not a problem.

The taxpayer savings realized from the reduction of alien free-loaders to the medical system, care & feeding, housing, education system, law enforcement, and criminal justice system will pay for the wall in no time.

#3  Its obvious that I hate Trump more than most anyone here, but even I know this is simply idiotic, and its one of the few things I do like about him, although he is off in lala land when it comes to funding it.
