With mere days remaining in office, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry returned to Southeast Asia to reminisce with his Communist friends and ideological soulmates in Vietnam.
He was welcomed with open arms in Vietnam, still a Communist dictatorship after all these decades. And why shouldn’t he be? He’s one of the reasons the United States lost the war there.
Kerry’s vicious lies about the behavior of the U.S. military during the Vietnam War launched a thousand draft-card burning ceremonies.
It’s a wonder he wasn’t awarded the Vietnamese equivalent of America’s Presidential Medal of Freedom for his service to Vietnamese Communism.
Throughout his adult life, Kerry has instinctively sided with America’s enemies. After serving in the Vietnam War, Kerry made a long, profitable career out of bashing America, insulting and belittling U.S. troops – even going as far as promoting false stories about them committing war atrocities, and aiding hostile foreign powers.
In 2005, Kerry falsely accused U.S. forces of "terrorizing" the Iraqi people. He told Bob Schieffer on “Face the Nation”: “And there is no reason, Bob, that young American soldiers need to be going into the homes of Iraqis in the dead of night, terrorizing kids and children, you know, women…”
A liar and a useful idiot whose Botox obsession has turned his face into a Halloween mask, Kerry is the man who sent American singer James Taylor to France to sing soothing songs to the French people after brutal Muslim terrorist attacks while refusing to acknowledge the attackers were Muslim.
In addition to being a booster of Vietnam and the now-defunct Soviet Union, Kerry has long been an enemy of Israel and a friend of the Islamic Republic of Iran and its nuclear weapons development program, as well as a friend of Communist dictatorships in Cuba, Nicaragua, and Grenada.
So a final, nostalgic trip down the Ho Chi Minh Trail at U.S. taxpayer expense only seems appropriate.
The former presidential candidate, Democrat senator from Massachusetts, and long-time America-hater just visited the Bay Hap River in search of the location where his actions won him a Silver Star medal for bravery as a young lieutenant in the U.S. Navy. He shook hands with Vo Ban Tam, now a 70-year-old shrimp farmer in the Mekong delta, who had been his adversary on Feb. 28, 1969.
Kerry was on patrol that day as skipper of Swift boat PCF-94, when his troops were ambushed by Viet Cong soldier Vo Ban Tam and others. Reacting quickly to the danger, Kerry beached the boat, grabbed an M-16 rifle, chased down a rocket launcher-bearing guerrilla, and killed him, preventing the Viet Cong from counterattacking and saving his crew.
But that was probably the only patriotic thing Kerry ever did.
Alongside Jane Fonda and Ramsey Clark, Kerry managed to become a symbol of anti-war hysteria and anti-American anger after he returned to the U.S. from Vietnam in 1970. He effectively became an enemy propagandist as he maligned his brothers-in-arms publicly, accusing them of horrible war crimes. He spoke and organized for the radical group Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW).
In May 1970 he violated U.S. law by conducting his own peace negotiations with the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (DRV, the government of the North Vietnamese communists) and the Provisional Revolutionary Government (PVR, which was an arm of the DRV that included the Vietcong) while National Security Adviser Henry Kissinger was trying to negotiate formally with the enemy on behalf of the Nixon administration. Kerry’s peace proposal included the U.S. paying reparations and asking for Vietnamese forgiveness.
VVAW went as far as signing a “People’s Peace Treaty” that was reportedly drafted in Communist East Germany in December 1970). The nine points were all taken from a list of Viet Cong conditions for ending the war. Kerry backed the treaty.

How appropriate to begin and end in Nam.
Just wish he would stay there.
