“if it were not for the disunity created by…stateside protests, Hanoi would have ultimately surrendered.”

General Vo Nguyen Giap - North Vietnamese War Hero

Isn’t that special? The Vietnamese communists credited the American Anti-War crowd at home with their victory. So much, in fact, that they honored John Kerry in the war remnants museum for the part he played in the Anti-War movement after he returned from Vietnam:

This the infamous picture of John Kerry’s meeting with Comrade Do Muoi, the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam, in Vietnam, July 15-18, 1993. This Photo was taken in the War Remnants Museum (formerly the “War Crimes Museum”) in Saigon in May 2004.

It is because of this that we need to steadfastly stand against the democrats’ yearning for the days of Vietnam, looking to recreate what happened to Nixon’s administration. It is because of this that we need to recognize that rooting for the enemy and destroying our ability to defend ourselves is precisely what they are working toward.

And, it’s another reason to keep pounding on the Kerry’s 180 drum all day.

As you may recall, John Kerry promised the American people on the Tim Russert Show that he would release his military records. He then pulled a dirty trick: he released what was already out there to his biographer, Mike Cranish, at the Boston Globe, declaring triumphantly that he’d fulfilled his promise. But surely he doesn’t think the American people are that easy! Surely he doesn’t think we’re willing to drop our interest in the 100+ missing pages that would fill in the blanks about his military service, Christmas in Cambodia, the paperwork he wrote up for his purple hearts and the 6 years between his leaving the Navy and your discharge, etc.

All of those questions and others remain unanswered, and Kerry is supposed to be, in his capacity as a Senator, an American public servant; and NOT a puppet for communist dictators.

The American Spectator reports:

After Kerry met with Ortega, he returned to Washington waving a promise from Ortega that the Communist leader would moderate his policies. “We believe this is a wonderful opening for a peaceful settlement without having to militarize the region,” Kerry said. “The real issue is: Is this administration going to overthrow the government of the Sandinistas no matter what they do? This opportunity puts this to the test.” The normally cautious Secretary of State George Shultz was so flabbergasted by Kerry’s shilling for Ortega that he denounced Kerry publicly for “dealing with the communists” and letting himself be “used” by Ortega.

Kerry’s diplomacy blew up in his face. As Kerry was reassuring his colleagues that Ortega wouldn’t establish Soviet and Cuban bases in Nicaragua, Ortega (a few days after he met with Kerry) was flying to Moscow to arrange a $200 million transfer of Soviet monies to Nicaragua. Kerry’s sales pitch for the Sandinistas — “I see an enormous haughtiness in the United States trying to tell them what to do. Our economic squeeze on them is very sad. The whole population is suffering” — worked in Congress. It voted against aid to the Contras, even as Ortega was collecting aid from his Soviet bosses.

This is just one example of what I’m talking about.
