Kerry, John
- Rollingstone says Democrats have been afraid to stand up against swiftboating for years!-
and that's exactly what we've been saying for years, so it's not exactly BREAKING NEWS
Follow me below the jump to see more of what they said...
- My 'Brothers' Want Their Proud Name Back!!- When you hear the term "Swiftboat" what comes into your mind?
I already know your answer, but it isn't the meaning for those who served on nor any Navy Personal who served In-Country Vietnam.
Not to far back a small group of misguided Navy personal, who served aboard 'Swiftboats' in 'Nam, took that once proud name and used it for their political purposes and gains, with some others joining them, who not only never served on swiftboats, and the extremely dangerous missions they were sent into, but some never served at all, in the Military nor In War/Occupations!
They not only Disgraced their own service but the service of all who served on Swiftboats as well as All of us Navy personal who served In-Country as well as the Blue - Water Navy serving off the shores of 'Nam. They 'Verbally Spit' on themselves and their brothers, All their Navy brothers and sisters!
Recently some who served on but did not partake in the slanderous actions have been back in the news, They want their Proud Name and Proud Service to Country back, especially for the brothers who were Lost!
- Shame On You T Boone, Shame- Your word has turned to slime, hope the business world is paying attention, though you'll always find
snakes like you to deal with and make some bucks, and I'm sure many already have learned about you
through your years of building your billions.
What's this all about? Well,
- John Kerry, Part 8: A Matter of Life and Death.-
We proceed into the chapter on Global Climate Change in "This Moment on Earth." By now, most of us know the basic facts on global warming from Inconvienient Truth, these diaries, or other such works. John Kerry's chapter is an excellent overview of these facts and is an excellent reference to debunk and global warming denial arguments.
- John Kerry, Part 7: "Prisoners in our own homes."-
In this seventh part of our series reviewing John and Teresa Kerry's "This Moment on Earth," we take a look at how environmental pollution can strike painfully close to our own homes. When the first Earth Day was held on April 22nd, 1970, there were 20 million people around the country calling for action to stop the dumping of pollutants into our water and air.
- John Kerry, Part 1: Making America America.-
This is the first part of a series discussing John and Teresa Kerry's book, "This Moment on Earth." This is a book that compliments "Inconvenient Truth" nicely. Inconvenient Truth discusses the facts and the figures about global warming and the environment. This Moment on Earth, on the other hand, discusses how environmentalism is taken out of the ivory tower and actually put into action.
- John Kerry Part 5: The Burden of Proof-
We continue our series reviewing John and Teresa Kerry's book, "This Moment on Earth," by discussing the burden of proof and how it has been misplaced. Specifically, we will discuss a lot of moral and ethical questions as we consider the impact of chemicals on our lives and the harm that they can bring.
- John Kerry, part 2: Rachel Carson-
Yesterday, I discussed John Kerry's thesis that environmental politics is local in his book, "This Moment on Earth." Today, we are going follow along as Kerry develops his thesis by turning to the work of Rachael Carson, who was in many respects, one of the forerunners both of our blogging movement as well as the environmental movement.
- John Kerry, Part 3: Good Intentions Gone Wrong.-
This is the third in a series of diaries about John and Teresa Kerry's book, "This Moment on Earth." Yesterday, we discussed Rachel Carson and her work in getting DDT banned. She was a citizen activist with little resources and little to go on but her concern, yet she succeeded in putting a halt to one of the most dangerous pesticides of modern times in this country.
