We exaggerate, but not by much. John Kerry is out there burnishing his liberal credentials by demanding that immigration agents be more “humane” while risking their lives arresting drug dealers and human traffickers.
Politico.com has the details:
As Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano led a naturalization ceremony for more than 5,000 new Americans at Fenway Park, Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) on Tuesday pitched a bill requiring federal authorities to take a more “humane” approach when enforcing immigration laws.
The “Families First Immigration Enforcement Act of 2010” calls for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials to give state agencies advanced notice before an immigration raid so they can provide translators for the detainees.
The Kerry bill would also require ICE to check detainees to see if any should be released on the grounds that they are too sick, too old, pregnant or nursing, or fall under other vulnerable groups.
You know that the liberals will stretch the definition of “sick” until it includes the common cold. “Oops. Can’t arrest Jose. He says he feels a scratchy throat coming on.”

Excuse me?! Is this for real? What kind of idiot would vote for this? Really ADVANCE notification of a raid? Doesn't that defeat the purpose of a RAID? Doesn't Kerry know what a raid is?
Idiot.
Of course "sweet potato head" Kerry knows what he's saying and doing Kimmy... it's all stock and trade of the libartd complicity with criminal activity, lack of common decency, and hatred of what the honest American citizen stands for. He could have just as easily asked that the residents of a crack house be tipped off before DEA agents show up, or murderers be given a head start leaving a crime scene before police are allowed to pursue them, or that a mosque be constructed on or near the very spot that Muslims killed a bunch of people.
I really dislike the hypocrisy of these people who love all the amenities that come with this country but have the gall to hate the backbone and the laws of it. Pretending to be compassionate when all they want is control. It is absolutely disgusting.
And add to that the fact that these boobs live in a rarefied atmosphere of armored limos, walled mansions, private jets, and personal security escorts... they have no inkling of what the average citizen has to go through on a daily basis to survive... nor do they care... all they want is to stay in power and will pander to any and all who will ignorantly help them stay there.
"...Doesn’t Kerry know what a raid is?"
He's probably confusing it with the panty raid's back in the day at Yale.
I'll put my feelings for the likes of him and fonda etc. like this, I have absolutely NO respect for them. Between a stray manegy dog and either of them the dog wins big time.
The question comes to mind - with all the bloated budgets of burocracies, doesn't ICE have translators on-staff? If not, why not?
Some people have an issue with those of us that call the subjects of posts names, like my calling kerry a hammer headed pussy, and others idiots etc. Well thats too bad, when kerry calls guys with the balls to risk thier lives over seas murdering hoards he won't get any respect from me, he's a pussy.
Please don't denigrate pussies by referring to them as Kerry. Even pussies have redeeming qualities.
Kerry has none. If he didn't have his old lady to milk, he'd be nothing politically, As a member of homo sapiens who makes his living off of his rich old lady, he's nothing as a human being. Just another 3rd rate human cockroach, playing at M*A*S*H in his fake uniform. That picture probably was taken when he was auditioning for G*A*S*H, a gay porn movie that never got going.
I wish never to see this picture of Kerry again!
He has this weasel look on his face, his hair is WAY too long by military standards, he's wearing this tacky, faux uniform with all those unearned medals.. it's just sickening to see this, time and again. How is it that the people in Mass. can be so duped?
How long did they vote for Ted Kennedy? I figure Kerry's job is relatively secure for years to come.
That picture pisses me off as does the memory of his testimony, where he pronounces Gengis Khan as normal Americans do, "Jenjis Kan" in his eliitist New England private schooling accent. He's a pussy. In that testimony her was comparing American soldiers to Gengi Khan.
Well, you've heard of Mass hysteria, and Mass hypnosis, and Mass stupidity? Originally, there was a period after Mass., but when Bubba knocked it up, it lost its period, and became spread across the country, eventually helping another useless tool get elected.
Kerry sees this, and thinks "Well, I'm a useless tool, too, so I MUST BE RELEVANT."
You forgot Mass-holes.
In other news, during a Swiftboater retirement anniversary party, old hands reminisced back to the days when Senator John Kerry was a lowly First Lieutenant they nicknamed Donavan, as from the old Science Fiction flick Donavan's Brain, because he certainly acted as if HIS brain was in a glass jar somewhere and not...
kerry is a hammer headed pussy. I'd like to run into that fk some day.
Pregnant huh? Well that just about rules half out does't it? Biologists have observed mexicans that are born pregnant. it's called recursively knocked up in science gringo.....I mean lingo.
Awesome Science! LOL!!! 4 Starts
do people seriously think this way? are we not all human? i'm conservative, but i'm not an ass. when did we all decide to start hating people? i guess the very name of this site is indicative of what it's all about... i "HATE" the media. are there not other things we can be doing besides reading all this HATE?
There is no hate here. If people are sick and old etc then they should not be working in the first place, then they should be at their home where they can be taken care off by their own families instead of being here sick and infirm without them, then we have to think about legal and born citizens and their needs and their pockets, all of these things completely speaks to the truth about illegal immigration and EXACTLY why it needs to be curtailed. Making pregnant, old, infirm and sick people work for low wages is a form of slavery so it is in their best interest to be sent back where they can get the care they need in the hands of people that better know them.
Hey FlowerChild, it's an expression. Just chill.
As to Kerry, he is an imbecile and a traitor, totally undeserving of the freedoms he so happily abuses. It is small wonder that any stupidity coming out of his mouth will set people off. Use some of that compassion to try to understand why people who went into harms' way get mad about him, instead of sympathizing with the political class jerk.
wow! such intellect! clearly a discerning audience for this site... not sure i ever said i was a kerry fan, which i'm not. but because i find the article to be misleading and full of half truths... i guess i'm all bad and an "ass", according to the rocket scientist chillie willie.
You are not an "Obama apologist" or a "kerry fan" , yet you defend them.
No, I am not a rocket scientist donavan, nor have I claimed to be. I'm just a simple schmuck living in a flyover state - utterly disgusted with this "government" we have. Does not matter which party (pubs or dems) as they ALL lie, cheat and steal.
Calling someone out for their nefarious activities differs greatly from calling them out based upon their party designation. This theory holds true for defending them also. I'll call G.W.Bush out for his stupidity just as quickly as I will call out John Kerry (or Obama).
The topic of this thread is John Kerry - a man that I personally find disingenuous, elitist and downright scary. I don't agree with his politics and I find him to be a "gold digger" of sorts. If it's good for John, then, by golly, it is good for John.
So, if you wish debate - then debate on merit, debate on facts....don't throw out talking points, throw out some truth, some facts; give something to convince the so called "haters" here a reason to believe in John Kerry.
As far as calling you an ass, I apologize....I simply took a statement you made and turned it around. I try hard to rise above the current state of affairs as far as the division between right and left is concerned and I am not really all that interested in name calling and prefer a good debate. A debate based upon facts without the innuendo and talking points we are all fed each day by the mass media.
Based upon your posts, I do not believe you are a conservative ( or a libertarian)...I believe you are a democrat, but this is just my own personal thought....this is okay...if you are a liberal or a dem or a progressive - who cares? Your point of view is just as valid as mine...IF YOU BACK IT UP WITH FACTS.
There are some really good and smart people on this web site and if you give some of us a chance - a chance meaning that you are willing to actually debate (with) facts instead of rude comments you might be surprised.
for instance: You know that the liberals will stretch the definition of “sick” until it includes the common cold. “Oops. Can’t arrest Jose. He says he feels a scratchy throat coming on.” moronic commentary, based on ideological slant... and actually borderline racist. give me a break "editor" pick and choose pieces of an article that fit your agenda and never investigate the whole story... makes you an idiot. i would say to you chillie willie... i give everyone a chance however you called me an "ass". i didn't call you an ass. i have no idea who you are, what you're all about and you call me an "ass"... and you say to me give a chance for debate? ok....?
i have no affinity for john kerry... i do however respect the fact that he served our country. i also respect that speech he gave to congress about what was happening.... good men... really good men where doing bad things as a result of being put in situations that most of us could not comprehend and that was the premise of his speech to congress and added to his objection of the war. good men... in a needless war... doing bad things. things they would never conceive of if they had not been put in a needless war. so... we can all hate john kerry for who he is today, but it doesn't change the fact that he gave a compelling and truth-full speech about what happens to men in a horrible situation. said my peace.
You know, I disbelieve that speech he gave. I think that he was doing the usual populist trick -- "Sincerity is key -- if you can fake that, you've got it made".
The shit he put his fellow service members through thoroughly negates any honor that would normally be owed to a service members.
Military people are human beings, and have to do their best in situations you would never wish on your worst enemy. He made them out to be less than trash, and he did it for political gain, making him a scumbag of the lowest order. If you cannot figure out the depth of hatred that his fellow service members have for him because of that, then all your pretense of empathy is nothing more than pretense.
What you see as a "compelling and truth-full speech" is viewed as a vile and disgusting betrayal by many others. Taken in light of his subsequent career, I'd say the vile and disgusting part is more of the truth.
Your statement that Vietnam was needless is an outrageous oversimplification of a very complex situation that denigrates a whole lot of people, not the least of which were the Vietnamese themselves. When we bailed on that country, we created the vacuum that led DIRECTLY to the killing fields of Cambodia. We owe those people a debt that can never be repaid, and the protesters and communist sympathizers who worked tirelessly to propagandize against it are especially guilty.
You can beef all you want about JFK's original intentions in sending advisers over and getting us entangled, once that commitment was made, it was no longer "Needless". Saying so is disengenuous at best, and an outrage to the people that died serving their country.
I cannot think of a single war at any point of human history that could not have been misconstrued as 'needless' at one point or another. However, once the commitment was made, decent people had to fight it, and we owe our freedom to them.
No thanks at all to useless pricks like Kerry angling towards a political career after the war, we bailed, proving that he sets the lives of his fellow troops and countless others below his own political career. I will not put my true feelings about him in print, but rest assured, I think that no name, no matter how foul, can adequately capture the depths of his depravity.
I hate to say this Donovan because I realize how sensitive you are but even though the Left Stream Media tried to minimize and discredit those who, as they put it, Swift Boated John Kerry, the fact remains that many of his fellow "Warriors", and I use the term loosely for him, said what they said and they told the truth... John Kerry is and remains a PUSSY...
Donavan: You said -
“obama donated the nobel money to charity, 10 charities in total are the recipients of the nobel money. any ignoramus could google that to find out… and if you all profess to be pro-capitalist, isn’t what obama is doing a in compliance with capitalistic ideals? i’m no apologist for obama and i have my issues with this administrations, but you all seem kind of… well… dumb. this articles topic is ridiculous…”
Making a blanket statement that all of the people here who do not share your views are (“kind of…well…dumb.”) does not go very far in the winning friends and influencing people department. What I found interesting is this was your reply to a post about Obama’s income tax return – not what he did with the money – oh, the irony.
“do people seriously think this way? are we not all human? i’m conservative, but i’m not an ass. when did we all decide to start hating people? i guess the very name of this site is indicative of what it’s all about… i “HATE” the media. are there not other things we can be doing besides reading all this HATE?”
That pesky “ass” thing – I simply turned your statement around; which was crass of me I’ll admit – and I apologized for it. The implication that people on this site are not human and have decided to start hating people is what I took issue with.
“wow! such intellect! clearly a discerning audience for this site… not sure i ever said i was a kerry fan, which i’m not. but because i find the article to be misleading and full of half truths… i guess i’m all bad and an “ass”, according to the rocket scientist chillie willie.”
Once again, your opening statement implies that everyone here is not quite as smart as you. The article is sourced and it is easy enough to find it and read it. Where the “half truths” and “misleading” info that you speak of are, I cannot know because you give no examples – and being that I am a “rocket scientist” I need real examples in order consider your side of the argument.
“for instance: You know that the liberals will stretch the definition of “sick” until it includes the common cold. “Oops. Can’t arrest Jose. He says he feels a scratchy throat coming on.” moronic commentary, based on ideological slant… and actually borderline racist.”
For instance: I do know that liberals will stretch the definition of “racist” until it includes all who oppose Obama’s policies. I do know that liberals will stretch the definition of “hate” until it includes all who have a different political ideology. You do make a point about the “Jose” comment being borderline racist – but it was written as sarcasm, and sarcasm by it’s (real) definition is meant to be cutting. Most can discern the difference between racism and sarcasm.
“…give me a break “editor” pick and choose pieces of an article that fit your agenda and never investigate the whole story… makes you an idiot.”
Again, the article is sourced and is easy enough to find and read. Once again, you give no examples or cite any sources for the problems you claim to have with the article presented – you simply call editor an “idiot”.
"i would say to you chillie willie… i give everyone a chance however you called me an “ass”. i didn’t call you an ass. i have no idea who you are, what you’re all about and you call me an “ass”… and you say to me give a chance for debate? ok….?"
You came out of the box implying that everyone participating in the discussion was dumb, a racist, an idiot and hater. Is this giving everyone a chance? Every post you make is filled with rants and slams against conservative ideology and the people who post here. You make blanket statements and accusations that appear to be based upon the liberal mentality that all conservatives are mean, ugly ill-informed people who have absolutely no right to an opinion (if it differs from yours). There is an opportunity for good debate here, but seemingly just like all the other liberals who periodically grace this site, you choose to make hit and run statements without backing anything up with sources or examples. Now, I’ve said my peace.
If you "find the article to be misleading and full of half-truths," your bitch is with Politico.com, not IHateTheMedia.com. We simply quoted that site's story. Please, please let us know what is misleading and what the half-truths are. Because so far you're just spouting meaningless twaddle.
donavan, you're an ass, but you're not a conservative.
Nope dope! We hate here, that's what we do, if you don't like it go somewhere that will LOVE you to death, please...
We hate you, too.
Kerry really needs to take a home study course in anatomy and geography so he can tell the differences behind his a## and a hole in the ground. He was a first class coward in the military, a stand out for stolen valor he never earned. His continual stupidity in a national forum is a disgrace to this nation, he should take his tax shelter and just sail away, no one will miss his crying pleas from his mansion/s. He is and will forever be pond scum
