So yesterday I watched John Kerry refuse to apologize to anyone including the soldiers that he insulted. There is no way he can squeak out of the fact that he made an arrogant, condescending and insulting statement about the great men and women who put their lives on the line for freedom every day. I am not a fan of war but I do believe that we live with an evilness in the world and that Iraq is the front line in that battle.

In total disgust I picked up the phone yesterday while Kerry was still speaking and spoke with a staffer in his Washington D.C. office. It felt good to weigh in while he was delivering his angry and bitter statement. I am repulsed by almost all of politics at the moment, but I could not stand by and allow him to make such a haughty and reprehensible statement without challenge.

What I like most is this response from some soldiers in Iraq. For those of you who are uninformed Kerry suggested that is essence if you don't study hard and complete your college education you could get stuck in Iraq. Clearly he was implying that our soldiers are educationally challenged and frankly I find academic arrogance nauseating at any level.
