(2,770 posts)because Kerry - who BTW has more experience than you, has access to intelligence you'll never see, and is in a position you'll never be in - disagrees with YOUR assessment of things, he is a soul-less sell-out.
According to you, we should all ignore the fact that the world is a different place than it was in 1971. We should all just hold people like Kerry to what they said over four decades ago about a specific circumstance, and insist that if they say something different in a totally different circumstance, their soul is dead - they are liars, they've been bought by the MIC, their humanity is forever gone.
Evil flourishes when good men do nothing. Evil also flourishes when good men who speak against doing nothing are relegated to the status of soul-less sell-outs because they had the courage to speak their minds, regardless of whether YOU agree with their assessment of things or not.
Your sense of self-importance, on this issue and many others, is the one thing that always comes through, loud and clear. You never miss a chance to declare that any opinion contrary to yours is the direct result of kool-aide drinking by those who disagree with your perception of things.
Sadly, DU is now full of those who can't wait to drink your own brand of kool-aide, which you are more than happy to dispense - like so much ambrosia to quench the thirst of those who can't think for themselves.
