We say we admire doers over talkers in this country, but it's not true. We admire the talkers. We prefer the illusion of toughness over actual toughness.
Who was it that said Kerry is as tough as a powder puff? I forget. In any case, it was Kerry and his liberal ilk who cost us that war by politicizing it, as they have ever since.
Kerry... tough as a powder puff? how would you know what he did in Vietnam, he served, and deserves credit for fighting for his country. lyndon Johnson, and his texas war profiteers started and lost that war, if you were there you would have known that.
