Shut Up Mr. Kerry!

Yesterday (Jan 27, 2007) Senator John Kerry (D-Massachusetts) attended the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland to take part in a discussion on “The Future of the Middle East.” Senator Kerry shared the stage with the former President of Iran, Mohammad Khatami.

According to CBS News:

Senator John Kerry (D-Massachusetts) was asked about whether the U.S. government had failed to adequately engage Iran’s government before the election of hard-liner Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in 2005.

Kerry said the Bush administration has failed in addressing a number of foreign policy issues.

“When we walk away from global warming, Kyoto, when we are irresponsibly slow in moving toward AIDS in Africa, when we don’t advance and live up to our own rhetoric and standards, we set a terrible message of duplicity and hypocrisy,” Kerry said.

“So we have a crisis of confidence in the Middle East…” in the world, really. I’ve never seen our country as isolated, as much as a sort of international pariah for a number of reasons as it is today.”

An “international pariah”–harsh words from the man who, like Al Gore, has become somewhat of a pariah among his own democratic colleagues. This is typical sentiment from a socialist who wants nothing more than the United States to sacrifice itself for the sins of the world. I find it very interesting that he seems so concerned about the current isolation of our country, when speeches such as this widen the division and further isolate the United States.

Kerry also criticized what he called the “unfortunate habit” of Americans to see the world “exclusively through an American lens.” Of course we do…we’re Americans! As Americans we must first focus on protecting our own National Interest before satisfying our altruistic desire to give aid and comfort to those in need (which would be our enemies, if Kerry had his way).

Not only is Kerry slamming the United States in a foreign country, but he’s doing it in front of Khatami, who Hot Air reminds us is

“…the former CEO of one of the world’s foremost terrorist states, which as we speak is working on building nuclear weapons, bankrolling Hezbollah’s efforts to foment civil war in Lebanon and Hamas’ exterminationist jihad against Israel, and supplying Shiite militias with IEDs to kill American soldiers in Iraq. Whose current leadership, lest we forget, Kerry has previously signaled a desire to meet with.”

I can’t believe anyone would take this guy seriously! He’s nothing more than a pompous, whining America-hater, whose failed presidential bid defined his legacy as one of this country’s biggest losers!

Senator Kerry: When are you going to start defending America, instead of waging war against her? After all, you are one of the peoples’ elected officials. When will you start looking after their (our) interest instead of your own and those of our enemies?
