Vietnam Veterans Are Vindicated
Finally and Forever!!!
Yesterday’s decision made by the American public was a referendum on America itself… I believe this election was easily the most critical in my lifetime of forty years… America has been fighting a cultural civil war since the late 1960’s, and I’ve had the honor and privilege to live through it… yesterday’s election had our society as we know it in the balance…

For those of our veterans’ community who served honorably and have lived with a terrible burden of charges of unsubstantiated war crimes, of claims of dereliction of duty, of broad based, excessive drug use, and the pall of defeat that has hung over their collective heads for thirty years… the honorable, duty bound men and women who left their families and lives behind to risk their own persons in a far away land most had never heard of; and the 58,000 plus members who never came home from the unpopular war in Southeast Asia, have been vindicated by America’s citizenry once and for all.

With the resounding defeat of Senator John F. Kerry for his bid to become Commander in Chief of our Armed Forces, America has repudiated the far Left in this country who seem to believe that the United States is the root of all evil in the world… America has decided who is contemptible… not the Hollywood elites, nor the Howard “Deaniacs”…

Michael Moore, who as a 21st century Joseph Goebbels created the propaganda film “Fahrenheit 911” and was allowed to sit at the most prestigious seat in the democratic party convention next to former President Jimmy Carter, has been dismissed by the American voters as the real “extremist” in America… NOT the average American in this nation that believe that marriage should be defined as a union between one man and one woman…

America also gave France and the other nations in Europe and the rest of the world who have refused to support the US and her allies in the War on Terror the middle finger!!! Those who will give away the security of the entire civilized world for financial gain – Germany, Russia, France, and others – will be even more minimized in the affairs of the civilized world because of the decision made by American in yesterday’s elections…

We elected a president with the largest number of affirmative votes in the history of American Politics…we have also sent a clear and concise message to our enemies and their willing accomplices, that America has the resolve to do what’s right, regardless of what the world’s popular consensus might be… the better America prevailed with yesterday’s decision to return President Bush…

Our enemies and their accomplices will have to face the realization that they will have to endure four more years of attempting to dig deep enough holes that our Armed Forces and our Intelligence Community cannot locate them in…

The man who came home from Vietnam and joined the anti-war movement along with the likes of Hanoi Jane Fonda to publicly work against his government and the servicemen and women while the war was still being waged, was not rewarded by giving him the opportunity to lead this nation… his actions thirty years ago that he has built his entire political career on the defamation of American Servicemen was soundly rejected by America…

The man that made his own service in Vietnam a potential rally point for much of the first half of his presidential campaign and then later dishonored his own service and the service of hundreds of thousands of fellow veterans who did their service time honorably, in most cases for YEARS not months, was told by America that this nation has NOT forgotten his participation in smearing the good name of America’s veteran community…

The man who all these years as a Senior United States Senator whose own service record was dubious at best and not expunged until the Carter Administration’s Amnesty for the Vietnam era draft dodgers allowed for him to upgrade his Other Than Honorable Discharge to that of Honorable Service Discharge was told by America that he was not acceptable to be our Commander in Chief nor the single most important leader of the free world…



The man who supported the treasonous lies of the Winter Soldier Conference in Detroit and mocked the Flag Raising on Iwo Jima with an anti-war book that trashed the service of America’s involvement in Vietnam for his own political gain… at the expense of American POW’s still in captivity… was told once and for all by the American public that his personal actions against our community have been made dramatically clear. Does America believe in Michael Moore’s vision of America our do they believe in President Bush’s views…

The man who spent his early days in politics railing about false atrocities purportedly being levied against the Vietnamese by the lowly American servicemen, John Kerry will now be thrown onto the trash heap of history and the demons he helped create for an entire generation of American servicemen and women, have now been vanquished with his defeat… HIS views of America’s Armed Forces have been repudiated – completely and forever!!!

Americans have resoundingly decided that good will triumph over evil, that the world IS in fact, a better place without the likes of Saddam Hussein, his prison for children, his son’s rape rooms and without his assistance directly and indirectly to terrorist organizations that make America and the entire world a more dangerous place…

Vietnam veterans had a significant impact on this election, and their service in Vietnam may not be an issue in American politics ever again… yesterday, the American People have decided that it was time to finally say “Welcome Home” to those in our Armed Forces who served in Vietnam…

In a world that has been upside down for many of them for over three decades… they woke up today and found the world right side up!!!!

Welcome home brothers and sisters of Vietnam… YOUR victory yesterday against those who have spent their lives speaking out against your honorable service for over three decades without apology - is better than ANY welcome home parade could ever be!!!

I believe the other 48% are those influencing and being influenced by the Elite Media's Propaganda. Our hope is that those still not aware of the truth will soon be enlightened. It may take some time. There are the old trusting, gullible, stubborn americans who are so deep under the influence, that deprogramming them enough to open their minds to the fact that they've been duped will be slow. And there are the corrupt, self-centered, power-hungry liberals who know the facts but will continue their lying and twisting of them for the purpose of control. The rest in the middle, along with conservatives, voted for Bush. They will be paying more attention from now on, because they're pissed at their recent discovery of the truth, thanks to the groups like the Swiftys & POWs, Internet, Cable and talk radio, etc. The media needs continual, constant scrutiny by the viewers, to correct this sham for good.

I don't think we are completely vindicated yet.
We have won the first battle. but winning a battle does not win a war.
The enemy has been beaten up, hurt, and has retreated to lick his wounds and fight again another day.
We have to prepare for the next battle.
Our enemy has stated that he will run again in 2008. We have to insure his failure.

WQith the activity of elections behind us arm-chair stratigist are all sipping their beers and celebrating. Just like the Huns who would fain a retreat the enemy sneaks and prepairs to act on his next battle plan.
Loggically speaking Kerry will more than likely select Clinton as a running mate in 2008 unless the entire plan falls apart by a sudden move by congress to formally declare the Viet Nam war a war and not an offical military police action. In that case it will open the door the file formal charges against Kerry for acts of treason. Hillbilly will then be the front runner for the democratic nomnation in 2008. If you truly fear communism and are aware of the philosophy exercised by Hillbilly Clinton then the fight for democrocy is far from over.
Start contacting your congressmen and women and ask for formal regonition of the Viet-Nam War as an offical regonized war. Since all combat actions are over and both sides have suffered unpresedented losses the Viet-Namese government should be a willing sponsor of such regonition alng with a formal declaration of peace to formally end the war. This will open up trade opportunities for the US and Viet-Nam and place JK in a position he can not retreat from.

"Hate to see the glass half empty, but unfortunately only 51% of us soundly rejected him, and therefore the remaining 48% are still complete whacks!

Considering Kerry's history....that is truly scary."

You're quite right. The glass is half-empty, and not merely for the reasons you state. Where are the good Democrats in all this, assuming there are good Democrats? Aren't some of them furious that this candidate wasn't fully vetted before he ran for Congress and the Senate--much less for the presidency? Where is their righteous indignation at being sold down the river by party operatives and at least one "respected historian" who kept rather important bits of Kerry's past in a lockbox and accused all critics of slander or, worse, calumny? Does this silence from the left connote consent?

It is hard to say what is on the mind of a lot of political leaders. Right now our political system is being ran like a country club. The guys with the most money have the most say. Then they sourround themselves with men in silk ties and women in silk evening dresses and call them volunteers and political advisors.
I am still certain Hillbilly and Billary were up to their eyeballs in illegal action with Whitewater. And they knew good and well what they were doing. So far the political enviorment has ecentually been cleared for an average Joe to qualify as a presedential candidate but they have to bring with them the courage of a true warrior and a trumpet of a voice to be heard over the retorical attacks.
It seems amazing how little choice we have and how quilty we feel if we don't at try to prevent something worse from happening at the polls.
Maybe it's the pain medication I'm on or just a plain old fashion mental problem but I think we are in for a long hard ride untill people recognize the Donkey they think they are riding is actually pulling them closser to Socialism ran by a few rich boys and girls.[/list]

We need to go to trial. We need to have the documents of record opened up to the public.
