John Kerry, truth, untruths, and evasions
Dr. John Ray's excellent blog, Dissecting Leftism points out some recent insights into the mind of our less than consistent contender to the American presidency. Glean further insights into John Kerry as liar, here.
I should also add that Dr. Ray's site and accompanying links offer an excellent intellectual critique of the psychology of Leftist thought in general. He states a clear case for the serious and important conclusion that so called "Right Wing" authoritarian extremists are synonomous with "Left Wing." A true appraisal of political dichotomies will more accurately see the collectivist, nationalist, and statist on one end of the political spectrum and the traditional "conservative" (classical liberal) on the other. A true conservative opposes centralized authority and social coercion. The "race," the "people," or "the proletariat," are all mere abstractions to compel obedience to centralized power. The individual and free autonomous action are the polar opposite of any collectivist -- Nazi, Fascist, or Socialist.
