Mike Sylwester: Now many people, perhaps especially young conservatives, imagine that Kerry’s role in the Vietnam Veterans in the War was considered to be absolutely disgraceful, but a huge portion of the population considered him to be very impressive, even heroic.

Mike reminds me of that old Robert Duvall movie, THX 1138, now 36 years ago, when Orwellian totalitarian chrome robots (police of a kind) enforced the drugging of the population to ensure that outlawed sex was under control. This one occasion had Duvall as THX 1138 running to escape the Hell that all were required to accept…all the while the robot called to him in the most soothingly frightening voice:

“Can you hear me? Stay calm. Everything will be all right. The door seems to be jammed. Please check the lock on your side. Everything will be all right; we are here to help you. Stay calm. We are not going to harm you. Everything will be all right.”

Yeah, that’s the ticket. That’s the same voice I hear when I read Mike’s posts.
