| WARNING: THIS SITE FEATURES ORIGINAL THINKING...Jim Croce once sang Don't tug on Superman's cape..., which seems like reasonable advice should we not wish to anger the supreme powers. We do have this duality in our culture: the Superman that is the state collective, the leftist call to a politics of meaning managed by the state, the deification of "we're from the government and we'll take care of you" - versus the Superman that celebrates individual freedom, private property, freedom of conscience, free enterprise, and limited government. We humbly take on the latter's mantle and, eschewing the feeble tug, we dare to PULL, in hope of seeing freedom's rescue from the encroaching nanny state. We invite you, dear reader, to come and pull as well... Additionally, if you assume that means that we are unflinching, unquestioning GOP zombies, that would be incorrect. We reject statism in any form and call on individuals in our country to return to the original, classical liberalism of our founders. (We're also passionate about art, photography, cooking, technology, Judeo/Christian values, and satire as unique, individual pursuits of happiness to celebrate.) |
Superman's product of the century (so far):
This one has been brewing a bit and there's a story and a link through to real, live, actual, not-forged documents linking the Vietcong to the VVAW over at World Net Daily.
IMO, though, this story should be fronted by Troy Jenkins (Huge HT InTheBullpen!), the researcher who actually found the documents at The Vietnam Archive at Texas Tech.
It won't take the left long to trash him - but in this case they'll be trashing an enlisted Crypto Chief and show that they don't care who they trash - as long as he's a military man. I think Troy can hold his own.
The initial two documents released (and the World Net Daily story does a good job of elucidating them) are really worth reading through to really feel the impact of them. And it is apparent that there are more documents to come.
It's really a much larger story than just what it means about John Kerry. Our historians have long denigrated the idea that any communist countries have ever effected policy in the United States. In a resounding wake up call, it is now clear that the linchpin of the Vietnam anti-war movement in the United States was directed by Hanoi.
It has long been apparent to many of us that the agenda of the radical left matches that of our enemies. This is proof.
And what of the consequences? In the early 1970's, the radical left, acting as puppets of the Hanoi regime, convinced a wider range of the American public to resist and protest the Vietnam war - to the extent that we withdrew in defeat. Though John Kerry had suggested at the time that only a few thousand people might be affected by our withdrawal, the resulting pogroms, boat people, and the killing fields of Laos and Cambodia took the lives of millions. The impact on our POWs and veterans is still an unhealed scar.
Take your little red pill America - the left has been excoriating our Commander-In-Chief with "Bush lied, soldiers died" - when the truth is "When Kerry lied, millions died." And we, again, face the crossroads with even greater consequences at stake. The lives of more than fifty million Afghanis and Iraqis are in our hands. And, should we falter, we risk our own lives as well - all of them. Some thirty years ago, America allowed a foreign enemy and the radical left to subvert the cause of freedom. Will we allow it again?
What kind of Kool-aid do you have to drink to support a traitor?
UPDATE (Saturday 10/30): News coverage at the Mississippi Press, major blog coverage thist morning (Oct 30th) at Little Green Footballs. Townhall had an article Wednesday. Powerline alluded to 'other than honorable' discharge for Kerry. Friend Beldar weighs in as well.
