YET AGAIN, proving he just DOESN'T get it...John Kerry spoke in New Hampshire today, and he told the audience that we had to go into this election knowing that it would be an international thing, that the whole world would be looking upon the voters to do the right thing (and vote for him)...that, the world would demand we go back to the american experience- one where we lead and not bully (Bush has bullied? If you believe that, have some more crack!), that we cannot mislead (here we go again with this word...how on earth did Bush mislead anyone? He did not...Kerry voted for the same thing with the same exact intel- which means, in Kerry's view, he's also a liar!)
The obvious problem with these statements is- we shouldn't care one bit what other nations want us to do in our election, or what they think of us (you'll never get the majority of the godless europeans to like us!), and the fact is- this is the US election and no one outside of the US has any business in it whatsoever. Kerry's views that we have to worry about what other nations think and we have to justify our actions to them is 1. idiotic and 2. dangerous as hell. He claims he'll never give any nation or international body a veto over US policy and action, but that's nonsense when you hear him talk everyday about how we have to think in an international way and how we have to justify our actions to other countries. This scares me personally, because if Kerry were to win, US policy would drastically change- and in a negative manner! Our policy would surely become much more lame- we would be forced into going with the "international" flow and appeasing terrorist groups and not fighting them before they get here on US soil...we would surely be looking at the end of pre-emptive attacks on those nations and groups who pose a serious risk to our safety, and like most of Europe and the UN, we would see an end to actually destroying terrorist groups. Europeans have dealt with terrorism on their soil for decades, and they've done almost nothing about it...the war on terror, you'll notice, only started as a world wide effort when we were attacked...Kerry doesn't understand that. Kerry doesn't seem to grasp the reality that European nations and the UN don't act- they talk, and talk, and talk, and talk...they pass an endless stream of resolutions that serve absolutely no purpose. We can't go convert to that dangerous European mindset with terrorism. With Kerry, this is almost a certainty.
As I've said before...the scariest thing might be the fact that, according to the polls, half of this nation wants to go over to this appeasement policy. The sad reality is, it will take another Sept 11-like attack to wake half of this nation up.
