There are three glaring reasons why John Kerry should not be elected president.

First is his undeniable record as a classic tax-and-spend, liberal Democrat. He believes in a bigger government of entitlement and bureaucracy and the redistribution of wealth. Make no mistake, a Kerry administration means everyone who actually pays taxes will be burdened with higher taxes, not just the rich.

Second, he does not believe that the 2nd Amendment rights, guaranteed to all of us in the Constitution, are any longer valid. Kerry keeps intellectual company with virulent anti-gun rights politicians Hillary Cinton, Charles Schumer, Ted Kennedy, Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer, to name a few. His voting record is decidedly anti-gun ownership.

Third, he would subjugate the United State’s military power to the United Nations. Imagine this country attempting to carry out foreign policy under the gentle ministrations of the likes of Russia, China, France or Syria, etc. How easily would those regimes sacrifice American lives if given the opportunity? Or thwart American interests at every turn?

What a fool hardy and disastrous course it would be to elect a man who would abdicate even the least bit of America’s sovereignty, which has been bought with so many lives?

Three points. Forget the rest of the blather and social engineering. Ask yourself this: A Kerry presidency? That’s just wrong.
