John Kerry Briefly Re-Analyzed (Sorry)

Excerpt:

To me, John Kerry always seems somehow like a scrawny high school debater dressed up his first oversized suit. He’s impressed with himself and his suit, and he’s clean and well scrubbed, but from the perspective of an adult observer he’s still a kid in his first suit.

The impression is not based on John Kerry’s age, of course. It’s based on his opinons. They’re cobbled together from bits and pieces of learning, but lacking in depth, breadth, or firm foundations. They’re shallow, like plants unlucky enough to take root in a thin half inch of soil on top of solid rock.

Ask Kerry about how important faith is in his policy decisions during a presidential debate, for example, and instead of straightforwardly answering the question about applying his own faith to life choices, he’ll wander from one religion to next, proclaiming himself a former Catholic altar boy but then mentioning the Torah, the Koran, and some Native American blessing he received the other day. It’s shallow and uncommitted, and obviously so.

I couldn’t help but get the irony of his saying this at a place called “Honest John’s”. Uhm….yeah. Anyway, Herman would have us believe that if he were President, he’d have this entire thing under control:

Would Have Dealt With Hezbollah Aggression “As Effortlessly As Dispatching A Rude Valet”…

How well summed up. Yes, indeed we are. On 9/11/01 many Democrats I know actually fell on their knees and thanked God, believe it or not, that Al Gore wasn’t President.

How sad that they have now forgotten and generally act as if it never happened or that it was just a crime.

With all his ‘warts’, I’ll still take our President any day.

Bryan brings up an excellent point with the following:

“That mistake is to assume that the US operates in some kind of vacuum chamber where only its actions and agendas affect outcomes. If we just did this, it would fix that, and if we just did this one thing, it would fix all these other things, because in the end we’re the only ones that can have any effect on the outcome of any given struggle.”

The term for this is, “Arrogant Ethnocentrism.” That is, the proposition that only the U.S. and Israel are capable of “acting;” everybody else in the world can only “react” to whatever we do, because like plants or infants they’re somehow incapable of forming or acting upon their own agendas. See also its close cousin in donkey party domestic politics, “Condescending Racism.”

No matter how dicey things may seem in the world these days, we can always have two concrete things to be grateful for:

(1) That Al Gore wasn’t President on 9/11; and
(2) That John Kerry isn’t President today.

Consider those prospects, and repress a shudder.

Adapted in honor of Mr. Kerry, from the ‘female’ version of “If I were president”:

If I were president, if I were president,
There’d be at least on big buffoon
For folks to spend with in June
And night winds would all have the sweetest scent.
If I were president.
If I were president, if I were president,
Thought-erasers in every house would grow
And they would all be on the go
(In case there were a flip-flop accident).
If I were president.
There’d be anti-germ agents like you’ve never seen.
And streets would all be freaky clean!
If I were president, if I were president,
I’d have a cure that would work right,
For those who couldn’t think at night.
The time they spent confused would be well-spent.
If I were president. If I were president.
If I were president, if I were president,
The dogs whose habits all were strange
Would undergo a brand new change.
An all-day neutering would cost a cent.
If I were president.
If I were president, if I were president,
Each bus wouldn’t have to run,
With lots of ‘gas’ for everyone.
Apartments once again would be for rent.
If I were president.
There would be no wrangling anymore,
For coconuts in Washington that fell short before.
If I were president, if I were president,
I’d pick up feminine morale,
And get a man for every gal, PC to go to Hall
More holidays would get my strong consent.
If I were president.
[Congress]
He’s a jolly good female,
He’s a jolly good female,
He’s a jolly good female.
We love our president.

Then I remembered. In an old Popyeye cartoon Olive Oyl sings “If I were President”. It was a classic. I wonder of this all came out of Kerry’s childhood? He is certainly more Olive Oyl than Popeye or Bluto.
