The Dangerous Secret

...is what Kerry believes now, not what he did then.

Stanley Kurtz writes on the subject of how John "war criminal" Kerry and the Angry Left Democrats have tried with mighty effort to avoid the obvious connection between Kerry's anti-war stance regarding Vietnam and his views today on defense and foreign policy. For if Kerry is from the Jimmy Carter/George McGovern wing of the appeasement left, then what can be expected from a Kerry administration with respect to the war against the Islamofascists?

Do we really believe that a dove in the White House will suddenly start to act like a hawk? I think we all know the answer. Kerry and his fellow anti-war protesters of the 60's never learned the real lessons of Vietnam. We live in a dangerous world and sometimes force is needed to protect people's freedom and safety from despots and tyranny. But The Angry Left will have none of it. They still think that America is the focus of evil in the modern world and must be stopped at all costs. To them, all conflicts are Vietnam; a war they still do not wish to understand. And their own actions cost the lives of millions who fell underneath the communist whip. But the Democrats have not come to terms with these facts. And because it means questioning their most basic beliefs about themselves, they never will. Instead they will try to prove once again, that it is all the fault of America and the party which believes in her fundamental goodness: the Republicans.
