John Kerry says protesting the Iraq war is patriotic. Toldja I was a patriot!

Those who disagree with the Bush administration's policies in Iraq face the same scornfulcharges that they are unpatriotic as Sen. John Kerry did 35 years ago when he spoke out against the Vietnam War, the Massachusetts Democrat said Saturday.

"I have come here today to reaffirm that it was right to dissent in 1971 from a war that was wrong. And to affirm that it is both a right and an obligation for Americans today to disagree with a president who is wrong, a policy that is wrong, and a war in Iraq that weakens the nation," Kerry said to a standing ovation Saturday at Boston's historic Faneuil Hall.
Kerry's speech came 35 years to the day after he testified before theSenate Foreign Relations Committee to call for an end to the Vietnam war.

Thanks Senator Kerry I appreciate your support for all of our hard work here in the blogosphere. I still do not want you to run for president though.
