Obama Rewrites the Cold War
The President has a duty to stand up to the lies of our enemies.
By LIZ CHENEY
There are two different versions of the story of the end of the Cold War: the Russian version, and the truth. President Barack Obama endorsed the Russian version in Moscow last week.
Speaking to a group of students, our president explained it this way: "The American and Soviet armies were still massed in Europe, trained and ready to fight. The ideological trenches of the last century were roughly in place. Competition in everything from astrophysics to athletics was treated as a zero-sum game. If one person won, then the other person had to lose. And then within a few short years, the world as it was ceased to be. Make no mistake: This change did not come from any one nation. The Cold War reached a conclusion because of the actions of many nations over many years, and because the people of Russia and Eastern Europe stood up and decided that its end would be peaceful."
The truth, of course, is that the Soviets ran a brutal, authoritarian regime. The KGB killed their opponents or dragged them off to the Gulag. There was no free press, no freedom of speech, no freedom of worship, no freedom of any kind. The basis of the Cold War was not "competition in astrophysics and athletics." It was a global battle between tyranny and freedom. The Soviet "sphere of influence" was delineated by walls and barbed wire and tanks and secret police to prevent people from escaping....

"Of course it's him! Now if we could just figure out how to get him down..."
Fight back with The Shadow! He knows what lurks in the minds of men and can cloud them at will. He troubles their hearts and breaks their spirits.
...and Carter will praise him for his great grasp of history.
That picture says it all.
“That picture says it all.”
The Shadow knows...
Obama wouldn’t know what the Cold War was about if it jumped up and bit his teleprompter.
/mark
Obama saw it the way he said it. He doesn’t consider freedom to be important
lolol
Hopefully there will be more Dick Cheney's to rise up and defeat the evils of men like 0Bama.
That’s a favorite Hillary analogy.
And a female Charles Barkley for his wife.
