What They Really Think (Madeleine Albright: "America no longer...first nation of the world")
Powerline ^ | September 18, 2009 | John Hinderaker

Posted on 09/18/2009 11:00:28 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Former Secretary of State Madeline Albright spoke at a forum in Omsk, Siberia. Pravda reported that her speech "surprised the audience." No wonder. The Russians in attendance must have wondered how they managed to lose the cold war:

Madeleine Albright said during the meeting that America no longer had the intention of being the first nation of the world.

Ms. Albright started her speech in Russian. "Hello and thank you! It's a pleasure for me to be here," she said in Russian. Albright wrote in her autobiography that she was trying to learn some Russian during the 1960s.

The former US Secretary of State surprised the audience with her speech. She particularly said that democracy was not the perfect system. "It can be contradictory, corrupt and may have security problems," Albright said.

America has been having hard times recently, Albright said.

"We have been talking about our exceptionalism during the recent eight years. Now, an average American wants to stay at home - they do not need any overseas adventures. We do not need new enemies," Albright said adding that Beijing, London and Delhi became a serious competition for Washington and New York.

"My generation has made many mistakes. We give the future into the hands of the young. Your prime goal is to overcome the gap between the poor and the rich,' the former head of the US foreign political department said.

There you have it. And Albright was Secretary of State during the relatively moderate Clinton administration. I'm afraid she speaks for most Democratic foreign policy "experts." Promoting American weakness: it's not a bug, it's a feature.

By the way, since "overcoming the gap between the poor and the rich" is the world's number one priority, do you suppose Albright waived her speaker's fee, which is listed coyly as more than $40,000? No, I don't think so, either.

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.”

- Marcus Tullius Cicero, 58 BC
(written specifically for you Madeline)

It was the stated foreign policy under the Clintons to ‘equalize’ all nations. And it was Maddie Albright that went around this globe setting into motion that very plan under the Clintons.

With the younger generation I think the hatred is force-fed into their brains in college and univ. How do we get the rest of America to wake up and turn the TV off?

Dolt.

No system works better than the people running it, although ours does a far better job of that than anyone else's. We've survived the scoundrels who run for office for 230 years.

The system didn't fail, Maddie, the people within the system failed.

I think it’s not so much that they hate America, but that they see the entity “America” standing in the way of a world Socialist union and therefore it must be dismantled.

Many foreign policy ‘experts’ seem to have amnesia that the rise of ‘Asian values’, arguing that Asia should be treated differently from other nations, was the result of Clinton’s vulgar approach to them. Often, when the Dims talk about ‘equality’ with other nations, their attitudes are not much different from when Anthropologist Margaret Mead talked about the ‘savage’ Samoans. Actually, they also have similar attitudes when they talk to or about conservatives.

Just exactly right. They have been telling us as much, but no one was listening.

Your post needs to be turned into a bumper sticker.

Brutally honest, and to the point.

The Democraps are the party of TREASON.

I think because there are alot of very corrupt, but very powerful, people who benefit from this POS being alive.

The same type of scum who benefit from the deaths of our troops in Trashcanistan and Iraq.

"She particularly said that democracy was not the perfect system. "It can be contradictory, corrupt and may have security problems," Albright said."

Which is why the Founding Fathers set us up as a REPUBLIC. Unfortunately, the "up east" intelligentsia became enamored of "democracy", and have been morphing the US into one modelled after the "parliamentary system".

Madeline Albright was a student of Zbigniew Brzenski, just like Obama. Brzenski is an advisor to Obama.

"Zbigniew Brzezinski is an advocate of socialist world government"

WELL, SHE IS NOT REALLY AN AMERICAN. SHE WAS BORN IN EUROPE, LIVED THERE UNTIL AN ADOLESCENT, AND HAS LITTLE FEELING AND NO LOVE FOR THIS COUNTRY. SHE HAS A “EUROPEAN SENSIBILITY” LIKE THAT OTHER FAUX AMERICAN OF CONVENIENCE, GEORGE SOROS.

We all know how well that worked out.
