Not Just a Political Problem
Does John Kerry think it's evil to behead innocent men?

Abu Musab al-Zarqawi cut off Nicholas Berg's head in May. Paul M. Johnson was beheaded last week, and Kim Sun Il was beheaded this week. Yesterday Zarqawi stage-managed a "Tet offensive" across Iraq to dishearten the media audience in the U.S. But I think it is the beheadings that could pose a political problem for John Kerry.

These beheadings come before us as a peculiarly modern atrocity. The captors use television and the Internet to display their victims before a world audience, eyes tightly taped and arms bound behind.

The "negotiation" is a charade that merely increases the pain of the victim's family and friends. Then, crudely, they cut off his head. In terms of the degree of civilized behavior the West admits to since perhaps the French Revolution, these beheadings are evil. If they are not evil, then the West no longer accepts the possibility or idea of evil. And indeed some would prefer not to.

He doesn't think it's evil. He has stated that we are in an unjust war and we deserve what we get. So in his mind the beheadings are just. I have added more names to my personal boycott list, Neil Diamond, Willy Nelson, Billy Crystal they were at Kerry's fund raiser last night. Semper Fi.

Well just like most of Kerry's fund raisers they are mostly dopers, so I am not sure that Willy will even know he was there until next month sometime. Semper Fi.

> Does John Kerry think it's evil to behead innocent men?

No, in the scheme of moral relativism, there is no absolute evil. One man's beheading is another man's exercise of religion. Kerry believes these people can be negotiated with, and that the U.N. is the best party to do so.

Mr. Kerry: do you believe the League of Nations could have solved the Hitler problem? What's different about the U.N. regarding Islamofascism?

This is a major reason why Kerry - and the leftist Democrats - need to be voted out of office. For nihilism, and its resultant chaos, death and destruction, is their creed.

I know what ya mean. I keep asking myself what would I do if John "F" kerry actually won! I keep thinking that JUST can not be. But there are lots of stupid people out there who are either a) voting against George Bush just because they don't like George Bush...not once looking at the issues b) just a down right hardhead democrat who will not or can not listen to reason and issues of why you should not. They are going to put in John Kerry's name regardless of who would be running against it.

I keep thinking where can I go. I liked Holland OK. Could we get jobs there. Could not live in Germany...lived their for 4 years. Nope. Hell no to France. Would never spent any money there! Could go to England but the cost of living is soooo high. So feels like I will be stuck here if Geroge Bush doesn't pull it out....but then I just love this great country. I wish every could as american as I do.

I still get misty eyed when the star spangled is sanged! I know I am a dork and my kids tell me. But I am going to think positive and believe that George W. Bush will win.

For close to 30 years, Willie Nelson has been my favorite musician. I hate to hear this. If true -- I need to add him to my list of people to boycott. This is a sad day for me.

BTW -- I know Willie was very bitter over the IRS ruining him financially -- but I can't remember who was President when it happened. Was it RR? That might explain his support for the Dems.

His IRS problem was under Slick Willy. He was at the fund raiser along with N. Diamond, of course B. Stiesand and her hubby, B. Afleck, B. Crystal, and many more. Sorry day for sure. We still have some good ones B. Willis, D. Partridge. Semper Fi.
