If he did, he would realize that the term "global test," as Kerry used it, is exactly analgous to Jefferson's "When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation."
"Global test" = "Decent respect to the opinions of mankind"
Except, the neoclowns despise and disdain the "opinions of mankind." Their version of America's relationship to the rest of the world is, "We rule, you follow."
But I doubt most Americans think that way. And Kerry's point in the debate really was very clear, if you read his entire statement. If only the media scum would not simply permit Bush to belch forth his filthy lies as if it's simply a matter of reporting neutrally without any comment what each side says. Kerry says something, Bush lies about it, but hey, we gave them each 30 seconds, so that's fair and balanced.
