In a shocking and absurd comment made from stage, former Presidential candidate, John Kerry said these exact words about our troops in Iraq as he spoke to students at Pasadena City College, “You study hard, you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. And if you don't, you get stuck in Iraq."
These were his words. Not taken out of context and there can be no other way to read or hear them. He clearly inferred that dumb people are serving in Iraq and to void being one, simply be smart.
I thought we had gotten rid of this tired-head making liberal, after the 2004 elections but apparently he is back with his ignorant rants and ravings about our country, our military and our current President. Remember, this quote comes from a man that has been in the military himself. It comes from a man who has married into the Heinz family, and who has hardly ever worked like the rest of us for a living. This comes from a man who voted for the war in Iraq yet later said it was a mistake and has faulted the President for going to war. This comes from the man who voted against providing our troops with armor saying, “I actually did vote for the $87 billion before I voted against it.”
In summary, this insane remark comes from a man who can’t even relate to the real world American. He is gutless, fake, has no clue what he even talks about.
Thank God he did not win the election in 2004. I am not sure which would have been worse – the “inventor of the Internet”, Al Gore in 2000 as our President or “Mr. Ketchup”, John Kerry.
But, John Kerry takes the cake in my mind. Here are some of his recent stupid comments.
“We're all God's children, Bob. And I think if you were to talk to Dick Cheney's daughter, who is a lesbian, she would tell you that she's being who she was, she's being who she was born as.” Smart people don’t use other people’s children for political gain.
“We have to get back to the place we were, where terrorists are not the focus of our lives, but they're a nuisance.” Bombs killing people is just a nuisance?
“This President has made, I regret to say, a colossal error of judgment and judgment is what we look for in the president of the President of the United States of America.” His own judgment made him vote for the war too.
“President Clinton was often known as the first black president. I wouldn't be upset if I could earn the right to be the second.” I can’t even comment on this dumb quote.
“I'm fascinated by rap and by hip-hop. I think there's a lot of poetry in it. There's a lot of anger, a lot of social energy in it. And I think you'd better listen to it pretty carefully, 'cause it's important”. Give me a break.
To insinuate that our military is dumb and the people that serve in it are there as a result of being uneducated is about the most insane quote I have heard someone in his position ever say. Our military is made up of some of the most intelligent people in the world and most of them could run circles around this spoon-fed rich man.
Our country is protected every day by men and women who are smart, determined, educated, and more importantly, human in thought, emotion and feelings. A smart man would see this and understand comments like this should not be thought, much less ever said. A smart man would apologize for having a slip of the mind like he did.
Mr. Kerry needs to go back to school so he can learn how, when and what to speak. I guess he never learned the simple rule, “if you have nothing good to say, then say nothing at all".
Because if he did we certainly would never hear a word from him.
