President Reagan will be turning over in his grave on November 15 when the second annual “Ronald Reagan Peace Through Strength Award” is given to President Obama’s former CIA director and Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta.
As we noted when Panetta was nominated by Obama for the Pentagon post, his Congressional career “was dedicated to fighting Reagan’s defense build-up and anti-communist policies.”
He is also a notorious leaker, having disclosed top secret information to Hollywood filmmakers about the Special Forces raid that killed Osama bin Laden.
The “Ronald Reagan Peace Through Strength Award” recognizes “the exemplary dedication and service of individuals in the defense of the United States and its people.”
In our column, “Panetta’s War on Reagan’s Defense Policies,” we noted that at a time in the 1980s when Reagan had said, “In virtually every measure of military power the Soviet Union enjoys a decided advantage,” Panetta was a liberal California congressman who “sought to undermine Reagan’s pro-defense policies at every turn.”
This, of course, is why Obama picked him.
In addition to his anti-defense record, Panetta had a relationship with Communist Party figure Hugh DeLacy, who had ties to Soviet and Chinese intelligence operatives. It was never clear if Senate investigators or the FBI, or both, investigated Panetta’s background.
DeLacy was one of only two congressmen exposed as a member of the Moscow-funded Communist Party.
We reported that Panetta was so far to the left that he praised a pro-Soviet “peace activist,” Lucy Haessler, and had asked President Jimmy Carter for clemency for Leonard Peltier, the radical American Indian activist serving life in prison for killing two FBI agents.
Why the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Library is giving Panetta an award is beyond comprehension. The foundation serves as the final resting place of America’s 40th President.

He’s not as bad as anyone else that has served in past 6 years?
Ron Jr and Patti must have gotten control of this one.
The article lists a number of communists who were ‘called out’ in the OSS. Unfortunately, the commies have now taken over the CIA. How else would a usurper be allowed to remain in the WH? They likely have given his infiltration the highest level of ‘national security’ classification and used the phony status to intimidate any who would dare to speak out.
Indeed.
Establishment is as Establishment does.
Every conservative created foundation is systematically raided over time to be the ends of the means for the Progressives.
Evil infiltrates and corrupts.
OMG! Leon Panetta gave out the NAME of the DOCTOR, who is still in prison, who gave us the info in order for us to get him!!! Then Obama gave out the names of the Seal Team and that got them all KILLED!!!!
Thanks for the heads ups. They’ll be hearing from me.
