Les Nations Unies au-dessus de tous

Or "Nationen über allen"; in this context, it works just as well.

Listen to the words of John Kerry in 1994, as foolishly disclosed by the Washington Post:

"Kerry's belief in working with allies runs so deep that he has maintained that the loss of American life can be better justified if it occurs in the course of a mission with international support. In 1994, discussing the possibility of U.S. troops being killed in Bosnia, he said, 'If you mean dying in the course of the United Nations effort, yes, it is worth that. If you mean dying American troops unilaterally going in with some false presumption that we can affect the outcome, the answer is unequivocally no.'"

Does the phrase "global test" ring a bell?

This isn't new, but it is worth repeating as many times as it takes for every last voter to understand: John Kerry values the lives of American soldiers and civilians less than he does the favorable opinions of enemies and fair weather (at best) friends who are as corrupt and morally bankrupt as he is. That's why he identifies with the denizens of Turtle Bay so much more readily than he does middle America (despite his Elmer Fudd-cum-Eugene Tackleberry efforts to portray otherwise).

He's one of them; he's not one of us.

And only by rejecting him will we discredit the evident contempt in which he holds us - and, quite possibly, save a great many lives.
