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."

He believes those lies.
Zer0 will get a lot of our boys in uniform killed.
We must stop this person.
A man who hates America cannot extol her virtues.
They don’t teach American history in Indonesia.
Sort of like in this country....
The more I hear of Liz Cheney the more I’m impressed.
Liz Cheney has the ammo (knowledge and foundational understanding) and the weapon (articulate speaking and writing) to deliver an effective argument. I love that she is not intimidated to speak the truth and set the record straight
Hard to say which Cheney I like more?
Pray for America
Liz is a chip off the block. Not Dad, but Mom. Her Mom, Lynn Cheney years ago represented the view from the “Right” on Crossfire a popular political show on CNN. She consistently made the person debating from the “Left” look like an idiot. Liz has got a lot of her Mom in her.
He will go along with the Marxist version. FUBO!
Palin/Cheney or Cheney/Palin.. preferably in 2012 (or 2016) My dreamticket.
Excellent article. She also makes the point that in Obama's mind, it's all about him. Everything is all about him, and America was just the means to his ascension.
He can easily practice that skill while looking into a mirror.
Bambi is liar
Why do the WOMEN of our party, Liz Cheney, Michelle Bachmann and Sarah Palin have more BALLS than the men! Thay also happen to be BEAUTIFUL!
“Zer0 will get a lot of our boys in uniform killed.”
ObaMugabe’s brand practices big lie propaganda. Obamabots just soak it up. Cold War historical revisionism began the second the Berlin Wall came down.
Last week’s big lie “the stimuls is working as intended” was a howler for even the liberal press.
With Ted Nugent in charge of Homeland security?
An all-female conservative attack team would be a GREAT weapon against the status-quo statists.
Under Nugent, we’d have a lot less goverment. I’d expect him to abolish Homeland Security, SEC, FDA, and a host of other wasteful bureaucracies that have spung up over the years. And there would be certainly be no czars. Yep, I can see him in there.
