SO You Think John Kerry Serves OUR Country FAITHFULLY?

I recieved this in an email and I asked a good friend of mine that is a veteran to check its authenticity. He did AND is satisfied that it is true. I trust him and here it is.

On 18 Feb. 1966 John Kerry signed a 6 year enlistment contract
with the Navy (plus a 6-month extension during wartime).

On 18 Feb. 1966 John Kerry also signed an Officer Candidate
contract for 6 years -- 5 years of ACTIVE duty & ACTIVE Naval
Reserves, and 1 year of inactive standby reserves (See items #4 & #5).

Because John Kerry was discharged from TOTAL ACTIVE DUTY of only
3 years and 18 days on 3 Jan. 1970, he was then required to attend 48
drills per year, and not more than 17 days active duty for training.
Kerry was also subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
Additionally, Kerry, as a commissioned officer, was prohibited from
making adverse statements against his chain of command or statements
against his country, especially during time of war. It is also
interesting to note that Kerry did not obtain an honorable discharge
until Mar. 12, 2001 even though his service obligation should have
ended July 1, 1972.

Lt. John Kerry's letter of 21 Nov. 1969 asking for an early
release from active US Navy duty falsely states "My current regular
period of obligated service would be completed in December of this
year."
On Jan. 3, 1970 Lt. John Kerry was transferred to the Naval
Reserve Manpower Center in Bainridge, Maryland.

Where are Kerry's Performance Records for 2 years of obligated
Ready Reserve, the 48 drills per year required and his 17 days of
active duty per year training while Kerry was in the Ready Reserves?
Have these records been released?

Has anyone ever talked to Kerry's Commanding Officer at the Naval
Reserve Center where Kerry drilled?

On 1 July 1972 Lt. John Kerry was transferred to Standby Reserve
- Inactive. On 16 February 1978 Lt. John Kerry was discharged from US
Naval Reserve.

Below are some of the crimes Lt. Kerry USNR committed as a Ready
Reservist, while he was acting as a leader of Vietnam Veterans Against
the War:
1. Lt. Kerry attended many rallies where the Vietcong flag was
displayed while our flag was desecrated, defiled, and mocked, thereby
giving aid and comfort to the enemy.
2. Lt. Kerry was involved in a meeting that voted on
assassinating members of the US Senate.
3. Lt. Kerry lied under oath against fellow soldiers before the
US Senate about crimes committed in Vietnam.
4. Lt. Kerry professed to being a war criminal on national
television, and condemned the military and the USA.
5. Lt. Kerry met with NVA and Vietcong communist leaders in
Paris, in direct violation of the UCMJ and the U.S. Constitution.

Lt. Kerry by his own words & actions violated the UCMJ and the
U.S. Code while serving as a Navy officer. Lt. Kerry stands in
violation of Article 3, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution. Lt.
Kerry's 1970 meeting with NVA Communists in Paris is in direct
violation of the UCMJ's Article 104 part 904, and U.S. Code 18 U.S.C.
953. That meeting, and Kerry's subsequent support of the communists
while leading mass protests against our military in the year that
followed, also place him in direct violation of our Constitution's
Article 3, Section 3, which define treason as "giving aid and comfort"
to the enemy in time of warfare.

The Constitution's Fourteenth Amendment, Section 3, states, "No
person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of
President and Vice-President, having previously taken an oath to
support the Constitution of the United States, [who has] engaged in
insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to
the enemies thereof."

Maiden Voyage Of The Persimmon Bars

My mother-in-law made the persimmon bars recipe this morning. They are DELICIOUS!! Almost as good as her old fashioned persimmon pudding! Folks if you don't know what I am talking about I am really sorry 'cause persimmon pudding is a TRUE DELIGHT!! MY Great Grandpa Stu Davis used to make persimmon pudding for us and when he passed on I thought pudding as good as his went with him. But my mother-in-law's is just as good as DAD's was, God Bless Him.

ELECTION 2004

LOL! Sure Kerry looks like Lurch..but thankfully as shallow as we americans are we don't elect presidents according to how photogenic they are. That said I still believe Bush to be the better choice of the two candidates.
There are lots of reasons like thier respective stances on abortion , stem cell research , foriegn policy , national security. While I don't like a LOT of Bush's domestic policies when it comes to big business and such my moral and ethical christian conscience demands I vote for Bush.

Kids Fest

It was very entertaining , I really like good jugglers. The ministry portion of the show was done very well also. My wife had some anxiety , I did also, about our daughters friend that came along but everything turned out well and all had a good time.
LIFE IS GOOD!

When we got married. 

ELECTION 2004

This election is crazy, we have a president who needs replacing but the alternative is a man who can't make up his mind even about his past.
Its a crazy world we live in , most definitely.

A Day In The Life..9/17/04

Today was an eventful day. My wife , Julie, and I both took the day off to spend some much neede time together and of course get some chores done. We recently bought a new sectional sofa and of course it was delivered late , a day late, and my car was hit at the post office around a month ago and had spent the better part of this week in the body shop. It was an interesting day.
Tonight we are going to a "Kids Fest" in Corydon, it should be a good night out for our new family. Julie and I have only been married for six months but together for 2 years and I adopted our daughter Ingie a few months ago.
Work is tedious and boring but I persevere and am contemplating goin g back to college to be a teacher or into seminary to become a minister..I dunno Life is confusing.
