When Winston Churchill became prime minister at Britain's point of greatest peril, one commentator observed, "the hour has arrived, and the man is here." The danger to freedom in 1940 emanated from Berlin, site of the iconic Brandenburg Gate. When President John F. Kennedy came to a Berlin divided by the Cold War in 1963 to proclaim America's continuing defense of freedom against Soviet threats, his venue was universally understood. And when President Ronald Reagan came to the Brandenburg Gate in 1987 to say, "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall," no one missed the symbolism.
For both Kennedy and Reagan, one could easily say that their hour had also arrived, and that they were prepared for the challenges they faced protecting the Free World. But President Barack Obama's June 19 speech at the Brandenburg Gate was not in the same league. Obama's use of the phrase "peace with justice" was clearly intended as a contrast to Reagan's "peace through strength" doctrine, but it simply highlights the president's inadequacies. Reagan (and Kennedy, who coined "peace with justice") stood squarely against Moscow, refused to be intimidated, and demanded that the Soviets reverse their aggressive policies.

Hmmm, Foreign Policy is printing this article. They are not what one would usually call a Right Wing publication.
Well, duh, that’s the plan to Redrum we Americans. Some are more equal than others.
Obama is a Muslim Hybrid idiot.
The unilateral disarmament of the United States.European Marxists demanded it in the 1980’s...100,000 agitators jamming the streets with signs saying “Reagan,destroy all your nukes”.Never a single sign demanding that the Soviets or the Chinese do the same.And it’s still the dream of American Marxists.The Chinese military is doubling in size every 5 years.The USSR’s military is expanding and upgrading at breakneck speed.Our military’s shrinking...expect for the number of perverts being allowed to serve and the number of women being allowed to serve in the infantry.
His father was a communist, his mother was a communist, his mentor was a communist, he has acknowledged his Marxist views — so what else do we expect?

“European Marxists demanded it in the 1980s”
American Marxists demanded it in the 1950s. That’s the origin of that so-called “peace symbol” that looks like the Mercedes emblem with an extra spoke. Semaphore for “ND” — nuclear disarmament.
Never was a symbol for peace, never will be. The closest I can come to its real meaning is “surrender to Evil.”
