John Kerry's "outrageous" Comments

[rbis4rbb]

I don't want to ruin my reputation or get into some trouble. Yes, technically I am forced.

Great, don't bring religion into this. I actually consider Christianity a false religion and I don't believe in God, so what does your quote mean to me? Nothing.


Wasn't me who invaded Iraq. Wasn't me who exploited the nations of this world. Wasn't me who segregated the nation. Do I need to go on?

I have nothing to be responsible about, I didn't do anything, nor did I support it. If I had it my way I wouldn't be living in the United States.

What segregation are you talking about?

Ah yes, a self proclaimed communist endorsing John Kerry and the Democratic Party, that group of rich white men pandering to lobbyists. Because y'know, that's the way to free the proletariat from exploitation by the bourgeousie.

He's being Pragmatic comrade,
There's no way that Proletarian Revolution will sweep the US in the forseeable future so he is forced to choose between the lesser evil of the two.

bullfeathers. The Democratic Party is the equal evil to the Republican Party. They are one and the same, both neoconservative institutions with a strangehold on the United States and its masses. Whichever party they "choose," they will remain oppressed and exploited. Accepting the Democratic Partyin its current form is accepting the death of the proletariat movement.

We see this in the CPUSA. They have abandoned socialism as a formal goal, and are no longer insurrectionists. Their chief activity now is to fellate neoconservative democrats. Thus they are revisionist, and in desperate need of a good purge.

If you were to argue that Democratic Socialist elements within the Democratic Party could be used as a front to subvert the Democratic Party and transform the whole of it into a front for the people's movement, I might concede you the point. Of course, they would have to be purged from the postrevolutionary state as well, but that goes without saying.

Purged?! As in Stalin's army purges and so forth? We don't do that to people in the USA with different political views. Shun them, sure, "purge" them? Never.

 

[JerichoHill]

Yes, Pasi says that this purging will be non-violent, and that those purged will go willingly to concentration camps.

I have heard this before.

 

[Pasi Nurminen]

Purged = booted out of the party/government. Quit being melodramatic.

 

[FriendlyFire]

John Kerry is an attention whore. I mean really, he is. His entire life has been spent in trying to put himself in the limelight, even when his star was dimming.

Now he finds himself fading away as a loser, so he continually spouts out one liners in order to grab a headline.

Simply pathetic. Even his own party doesnt care about him anymore, loser that he is.

For a moment there I thought you were talking about BUSH

So you would have socialism ruled by a party elite?
Sounds familiar?

How would you ensure that they dont try to get back their power?

Fair enough, I was just wanting clarification. The only association I am familiar with when purging and communism are mentioned together is Stalin.

 

[A'AbarachAmadan]

Kerry was criticized for denegrading America at a conference in Europe. It is considered wrong by many to talk bad about our nation while in another nation, while perfectly fine when at home. Very similar to calling a friend of yours an idiot in private, but backing them up in public.

 

[Norlamand]

At least the twit won't be running in 2008.

 

[malclave]

Damn right. If America is so great why can't we do some simple things, like signing the damn Kyoto protocol, which what, every other western country has signed?

It has been signed. However, that is meaningless unless it is ratified by the Senate. Neither President Clinton nor President Bush has seen fit to submit it for ratification.

And why can't we send more foreign aid to countries in need? (note, this doesn't mean we should invade them and take their oil)

There are plenty of charities which allow you to make donations.

Americans often think they have the moral highground when it's all full of crap, and full of hipocrisy.

Never mind... too easy.

Why is there so much outrage over this stuff?

I can't speak for anyone else. I wouldn't call my own reaction "outrage", but I note that Senator Kerry seems perfectly willing to criticize, but not to propose solutions.

[yawn]These facts are some of the reasons I'm ASHAMED of my own damn country, every time I go on vacation in a foreign nation I'm forced to say I am from Canada.

What happened to America? It can't even look and accept criticism - they call Kerry out as a traitor and a treasonous rat or something - I guess some people CAN'T handle the truth.[/QUOTE]

Its true, thats how the Bolsheviks started before they get into power. You know, before they can do anything.

Cmon Comrade there are some genuine Social Democrats in the Democratic Party (i.e Denis KucinicH)

 

[amadeus]

...every time I go on vacation in a foreign nation I'm forced to say I am from Canada.

When I'm abroad, I also tell people that you're from Canada.

Nah...Bush can still veto crap, so he at least has something to back him up. Kerry has nothing.
