There has been a flurry in the press lately concerning the alleged letters written by Senator Ted Kennedy (D-Ma) and first carried to Leonid Brezhnev and later to Yuri andropov.
The initial one, written in 1979, was an offer to work with the Soviets and against then President Jimmy Carter, who, in Mr. Kennedy's estimation, was working a bit too hard in thwarting the USSR's goals in their wild and woolly afghanistan adventure.
The missive was also to be used to further the senior Massachusetts senator's budding presidential aspirations and against those of Mr. Carter's in 1980, by demonstrating another less unsettling and more liberally appealing way to handle the dtente seeking Soviets. an opening the Soviets would then answer in kind.
according to the hand copied documents Vasily Mitrohkin secreted out when he defected to Great Britain in 1992, Kennedy felt that, "…it was his duty to take action himself, which could force the Carter administration to act to de-escalate the crisis.” In other words, he saw his duty to assist our Cold War enemy.
and by a reduction in american pressure on the USSR, Senator Kennedy's actions would aid and abet the monstrous activities the Soviets were routinely taking in their brutal occupation of the afghanis, where they routinely practiced the slash and burn, mass murders, and torture - the rumors of which the effete left wing is so quick to turn their laser like gaze on our military for the slightest perceived infraction today. Those acts Mr. Kennedy can be seen sweepingly supporting for his own political aggrandizement when he goes to bat for the communists.
I can well recall that the Soviet occupation of afghanistan was a far more disturbing enterprise than those pathetic photos issued from abu Ghraib, where a giddy female is shown holding a leash attached to a dog collar on a hooded Muslim man. The latter had the benighted albeit progressive Senator up in arms for months on end with the aid of his fellow Massachusetts traveler - the toothy, folderol bawling Winter Soldier and slanderous VVaW aficionado, John Kerry, who has never passed up a chance to belittle the soldiers he takes to heart nor to steal a beat on america. The former was, of course, overlooked by all the old Democratic senators and the drive-by media as it existed in the early 1980s, while they made hay for months over the diminutive scale of the abu Ghraib capers when compared to the USSR's standards of behavior.
The second letter was said to be written by Senator Kennedy and sent to Soviet General Secretary Yuri andropov, via the head of the KGB, after being delivered by Senator John Tunney (D-Ca), an old Kennedy pal and a charter member of the anti-war crowd, who also delivered the previous letter to Comrade Brezhnev on one of his 15 trips to Moscow at the liberal lion's behest.
The latter communique, a copy of which was obtained by Herbert Romerstein , a Cold War researcher and author, from a Moscow contact with access to the KGB files, which are now closed again to outside access, may be found in Paul Kengor's new book, The Crusader: Ronald Reagan and the Fall of Communism.
This latter recitation to Mr. andropov, according to Lee Edwards of the Heritage Foundation, "…speaks to the degree of opposition and lack of understanding liberals like Kennedy had toward Regan's policies.”
So, Ted Kennedy is seen writing first to Mr. Brezhnev attempting to undermine Jimmy Carter while assisting the Soviets in their afghan adventure as well as feathering his own political nest, while his second letter to the blood drenched former head of the KGB is one expressing animosity and dissatisfaction with a sitting President while aiding them in their propaganda war.
In the CNS News article Mr. Romerstein puts it best, when he ‘cautions against viewing Kennedy as an agent for the Soviets. Instead, it is appropriate to label him a "collaborationist” who sought out Soviet contacts to advance his own interests, not theirs.'
Think a moment or two about the messages sent to the Soviets by Senator Kennedy, the clear violations of the Logan act, his communicating with our enemies to advance his political aims, and then remember that he is a ranking Democrat, who will play a key role in the new Democratic government, if it is elected on Tuesday.
and then recall the crass insensate hilarity of his slavish sidekick, John Kerry, and his recent attack on the intelligence on our all-volunteer military – a group which, in the aggregate, possesses a superior intelligence and far greater accomplishments than the embroidered skirt-chasing and camera- hogging junior senator.
Yes, in light of this, there is a real choice in this upcoming election.
It is between Democratic dirty tricks; outing gay Congressmen; propagating the endless Mark Foley "scandal”; crude jokes designed to denigrate our soldiers; a shamelessly slanted liberal press who feeds us lie upon lie to skew our judgment; the registering of the dead, felons, and illegals by the thousands to steal the ballot box and the outcome; new committee chairmen who will do their damnedest to subvert the government, destroy our President, and our way of life; and those who have conspired with inimical foreign governments to subvert the will of the american people and their duly elected leadership, versus a less than perfect Republican Party.
While I'm no fan of the puerile shivering weakness of the Republican Senate leadership, nor do I agree with Mr. Bush's border stance when coupled with the war on terror and Islamist fascism, I can in no way support the hate filled new Democratic movement whose only unifying force is a common abhorrence exhibited toward George Bush and the war, and whose supporting pillars of "wisdom” are lies, innuendo, sleight of hand, and open sedition.
The actions of the two senators from Massachusetts show the new Democratic Party in a microcosm by illustrating what these two misshapen moral dwarves in leadership positions have already performed – open disdain for america, haughty laughing derision directed at our troops, and a clear willingness to work with our sworn enemies ( to our detriment and against the very tenets of the Constitution they swore to uphold).
Vote Tuesday for the deliverance of the United States of america from the claws of these vapid, insidious and artfully camouflaged wretches.
While they wave their bloody shirts, they conspire with the bandit nations sworn to destroy us.
