Unpleasant Truths

The Ocean Guy has this to say about Jean-Francois Kerrie:

The problem is Kerry's activities after the war... The problem is Kerry trying to be an anti-war war hero. It just doesn't make sense.

I strongly suspect that Kerry's actions would make perfect sense to any committed socialist. Remember, socialism is a systematic and aggressive assault on the rational and productive in society, Kerry's resume actually makes him the almost perfect candidate for the job of Big Brother. (You didn't actually believe that he was running for president, did you?)

First, there's his admission to being a war criminal, which is to say his demonstrated willingness to deliberately exercise deadly force on innocent people, a course of action which has been demonstrated over time to necessary to the imposition of socialism. Of course his actions also had the additional effect of sabotaging the effort to win the hearts and minds of the indigenous people, few things will more effectively lose the hearts of the people you're supposed to be protecting than blowing out their brains.

Second, there's his record in public life, both as a traitor anti-war activist and as a holder of public office. His well recorded efforts to defame, disarm, and plunder our Republic and its citizens places him higher in the esteem of the left than, let's say, the record of a certain champion swimmer and ladykiller from Massachusetts.

Third, there's his marriage. One may ask, how could a good socialist marry for money?

Well, that Überparasit Karl Marx did it, but that's not important here. What is important is that money is a tool, in normal use it is a means to facilitate the exchange of goods and services between productive people. But in the wrong hands it can be used to support those who are attacking our civilization from within, as Teresa's share of the Heinz fortune is being used today.

Granted, he doesn't have the charm of Bill Clinton or the vagina special qualification of Hillary, but Kerry is very much best candidate for the highest office from the socialist point of view.
