Three years after the end of World War II, the Nazis' former capital, Berlin, would once again find itself the target of an allied air fleet. This time, the air armada was working to save, rather than destroy, the city.

It was one of the few times the Cold War went hot. The conflict on the Korean peninsula claimed millions of lives, and set the stage for the way both sides would view each other for years to come.

As the Cold War intensifes, so do fears in the Soviet Union and the United States of outside influences -- prompting massive campaigns to purge the "enemy within."

Veterans for Constitution Restoration is a non-profit, non-partisan educational and grassroots activist organization. The primary area of concern to all VetsCoR members is that our national and local educational systems fall short in teaching students and all American citizens the history and underlying principles on which our Constitutional republic-based system of self-government was founded. VetsCoR members are also very concerned that the Federal government long ago over-stepped its limited authority as clearly specified in the United States Constitution, as well as the Founding Fathers' supporting letters, essays, and other public documents.

Sean Hannity said on his radio program today that tomorrow night he will have Lech Walesa as guest on Hannity & MUTE.

The above account of the Cold War smells like CNN's moral equivalence.

Per The Black Book of Communism 100,000,000 were murdered by Communists.

CNN likes to call the pukes who cut Olin Edward Armstrong's head off "militants".

What I call CNN is [expletive deleted].

The work of Senator Joseph McCarthy was vindicated by the publication of the Venona decrypts.

One very useful summary is Ann Coulter, Treason: Liberal Treachery from the Cold War to the War on Terror, Crown, 2003.

Coulter's Acknowledgements begins with "Deserving of the most hysterical liberal blacklisting for helping me with this book are: M. Stanton Evans, the world's leading authority on Senatory Joseph McCarthy. . . ."

As I never tire of recalling, I had the pleasure to watch Evans, then editor of the Indianapolis News slice, dice and julienne Dr. Robert Risk of the Indiana Civil Liberties Union in 1964.

Afterwards fellow YAFers and I had a shouting match with Risk's hangers-on, bearded marxists no doubt from under rocks at IU where R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr. would've been keeping their heads down with withering barbs.

The same ComSymps_tm are alive and well today--

Case in point, Jean FifthColumn Kerry, who told Fulbright the racist Clinton-mentor "we cahn't fight Communism all over the globe, and I thought we should've learned that lesson by now."

Strobe Talbott at the end of the reign of traitorrapist42 predicted the withering away of the nation state--yet all we see is the withering away of the Kerry Koup attempt on the last bastion of capitalist freedom.

Ted Turner, what is the Western equivalent to Stassi machinegunning Berliners scrambling to freedom, or Fidel sinking and drowning the ferryboat fugitives from the Cuban paradise of universal literacy and exquisite health care?

Thanks to Ronald Reagan--whom John Forges Kerry "proudly" opposed--we defeated the Soviet drive for world domination.

Not peaceful coexistence, not moral equivalence, not UN-brokered conflict resolution--

American resolute strength beat Soviet corrupt totalitarianism.

And John Kerry and Dan Rather and Ted Kennedy and Tom Brokaw and Peter Jennings and Katie Couric et al were and remain deeply saddened.

To these I say a profound nyah nyah nyah nyah.

In other news, CBS' Dan Rather announced he would apologize and resign "when Hell freezes over".
