Who won the Cold War again?
CIA Director John Brennan voted for the Communist Party candidate in the 1976 presidential election.
Brennan told a congressional panel last week that he “froze” while taking a CIA polygraph test four years later when the questioner asked him if he had ever worked with or for a group that was “dedicated to overthrowing the U.S.,” CNN reported.
“This was back in 1980, and I thought back to a previous election where I voted, and I voted for the Communist Party candidate,” Brennan said at a panel discussion regarding diversity in the intelligence community during the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation’s annual conference.
A few things.
If he had admitted to voting for the Nazi Party, he would have been hounded out of everywhere. And rightly so. What's wrong is that voting for a mass murdering totalitarian ideology is just considered a whimsical act of a passionate young man. This is the pernicious double standard that has allowed the left to evade its moral responsibility for the crimes of the left.
Communism and its fellow travelers have never been held accountable. That is unfortunately still the case.
It's very telling that voting for the Communist candidate wasn't disqualifying. There are numerous stories of what was deemed disqualifying, including having family in Israel. But you can have a Communist past and still become the CIA Director.
And final question, who really won the Cold War when America's highest offices are run by people whose essential ideas and politics are far closer to Lenin than Eisenhower.
Back in the sixties I read a McCarthy biography that was very unflattering but even they recognized his strength. He knew personally and could recognize thousands of his constituents. Down to details about their kid’s names and illnesses. The source of his power. He recognized this and it made him almost impervious to attack. Which is why the left gloats to this day over his destruction.
When he went back to Wisconsin he walked around shaking hands and making small talk with everyone. Impressive feat.
It figures that Obola's people would be open,as opposed to "closet",Commies.After all,Bill Ayers is proud of his bombings,as shown in the 9/11/2001 edition of the NY Slimes.
On September 18, 2014, on the Ground Zero radio program, a whistle blower named Greg Ford of the 223rd Military Intelligence Battalion claimed that Brennan, as chief of the CIA station in Jeda, overrode concerns and ordered that the visas of the 19 plane-hijackers be stamped. At 1:32:47 into the interview, Ford talked about ISIS and how it was created. Someone called in with a question about 9/11. Ford said:
“All 19 high jackers? Where did they get their visas stamped before they came to this country to launch 9/11? They got their visas stamped in the CIA station in Jeda. And the second in command said ‘No way, absolutely we are not going to stamp those visas.’ And the fellow who was in charge, his name was John Brennan. He was the person who overrode those concerns and cautions and ordered those visas stamped in Jeda.”
Snopes says: unconfirmed that he is a Muslim convert, but I believe he is.
Are you now or have you ever been a member of the communist party?
Are you now or have you ever been a member of the Ku Klux Klan?
Are you now or have you ever been a follower of Islam?
Are you now or have you ever been a member of any organization advocating the overthrow of the government of the United States of America?
Enemies foreign, enemies domestic, enemies in government.
This personally pisses me off. In 1975, I refused to sign a nominating petition for Gus Hall and Angela Davis of the Communist party. And nwo the head of the CIA, bruited to be a Muslim, btw..., supported that Commie who gives bad speeches for President(!).
And? His boss is also a muslim and a communist. It couldn't get much worst, could it? Wait a minute...
John Brennan personally got their visas? If he had any honor he would commit suicide, or at least resign. If there was any justice in America he would be tried for treason, or at least impeached.

Somehow I was not surprised by this revelation. I knew Brennan when he was on the NSC staff some time ago. Given his “other allegiances”, his embracing of communism just doesn’t surprise me.
In a sane world this would have disqualified him immediately.
But we live in a world where Obama was elected president - twice.
WOW. Brennan has progressed from being a Communist to now being a Muslim.
Or maybe Brennan has been the same during all of these years.
Communism and Islamism are both totalitarian systems.
As Hillary would say: “At this point what difference does it make?”
That makes 2 CIA leaders voting for the commie, if Bush follows thru and votes for Clint-dumb.
BRENNAN IS TO BE LOOKED UPON AS ANYONE WHO HAS SAT BEHIND A DESK HIS ENTIRE CAREER WITH THE CIA... SITTING BEHIND A DESK.... NO FIELD OPS ... NO EXPERIENCE... A WANNABE ASSKISSER.....
HERE YOU HAVE AN ANALYST PAPER SHUFFLER ASS SNIFFER POLITICKER (LIKE MIKE MORRELL BEFORE HIM) DESK JOCKEY.. WHO KNOWS NOT A F***ING THING ABOUT FIELD OPS EXCEPT WHAT HE SEES IN THE MOVIES...OR COMIC BOOKS.
A MEATHEAD YESMAN POLITICAL PUPPET WHO SHOULD BE FIRED AND IS A FAILURE AT DIRECTING AN INTEL AGENCY AND FRITTERS RESOURCES AWAY IN FAVOR OF DIVERSITY AND CLIMATE CHANGE.... HIS TOP PRIORITIES.... DONT LAUGH IT TRUE...
ALL THAT IS MISSING IS THE RED NOSE AND A CLOWN OUTFIT...
Yes, he beat an established opponent in his first race doing just that...knowing and connecting with his constituents.
He should be an American Hero, not an American Pariah.
Karma
Barack Hussein Obama, a man with no record of personal accomplishment, no leadership experience, and a man with strong connections to terrorists, criminals, racists, and anti-American Communists pulled it off and was elected then re-elected President of these United States. What does this mean and what does it say about the American people? Could it be that karma will finally bestow the consequences of dishonorable behavior on the American people?
Why do I say this? In answer to my question, let me remind you of this statement and where these words took the American people:
“Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty.”
John Fitzgerald Kennedy Inaugural address, Friday, January 20, 1961
With these words ringing in our ears, my generation went to Vietnam and promised the Vietnamese people we would stand shoulder to shoulder with them until their freedom was secure and the enemies of liberty were defeated. By 1973, with the Paris Peace Accords signed by the United States, South Vietnam, and North Vietnam, the Vietnam War was effectively over and the United States and South Vietnam had effectively won the war.
But, it is to America’s eternal shame and disgrace that the American people then sided with Communist North Vietnam and betrayed the South Vietnamese people who had believed and trusted us. In 1974, the American people elected Democrats to our Congress who had rather see our country defeated than allow a Republican President to receive credit for defeating our enemies. This Democrat led Congress (the infamous 94th) cut off funding and support for South Vietnam and abandoned a valiant ally to their fate. American troops were withdrawn, but we departed with the hollow promise that we would return if the Republic of South Vietnam was ever invaded by Communist North Vietnam. As we all remember, in 1975 Communist North Vietnam invaded the South and the United States did nothing in response.
The tactic we had taught the South Vietnamese was to, when invaded by the North, fall back to a defendable position, stall the communist advance, force the communists to mass their forces before South Vietnam’s defenses, and this would allow time for American forces and air power to return to assist them as we had promised. South Vietnam did just that; for twelve days, outnumbered ten to one, the Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN) held and stalled the communist’s advance outside Saigon near a little town called Xuan Loc.
Outside Xuan Loc during April 1975, in an effort as gallant as that of the Spartans at Thermopylae, the ARVN 18th Infantry Division held two North Vietnamese Army Corps at bay for twelve days. Every infantryman in the ARVN 18th Infantry Division died in that stand. None ran away and none survived. They died to a man fighting overwhelming odds and believing to the end we Americans would return as promised.
Just before the last ARVN soldier of the 18th Infantry Division died, he might have rolled over on his back and looked to the sky hoping to see the contrails of American B-52 bombers and he saw nothing. This last ARVN soldier then knew that he, along with all the Vietnamese people, had been betrayed. With his dying breath, this soldier must have then turned his gaze heavenly and beseeched God to Damn America.
Yes, there is such a thing as karma where dreadful consequences are meted out in recompense for dishonorable behavior. The American people’s just rewards for abandoning a valiant ally during their time of need could have been that the chickens came home to roost on the American people with an Obama Presidency, a Nancy Pelosi Congress, a Harry Reid Senate, a John Roberts Supreme Court, and it couldn’t have happened to a more deserving people.
The election of 2008 and re-election of 2012 was about more than just Obama, his arrogance, his empty resume, and his traitorous comrades. Just as karma provides consequences for dishonorable behavior, there are also adverse consequences for irresponsible behavior. As a people deserve the government they vote into office, they also deserve the consequences resulting from that government’s actions or inaction. The consequences of a government not securing a country’s borders is that a people will lose their country as we are now losing ours to an invasion of illegal aliens. The consequences of not securing a country’s electoral processes to prevent voter fraud is the country will lose its Democracy to a Thugocracy as we have lost ours to a Chicago-mob run Coup d’état.
But the final insult to our Republic is with the election of Barack Hussein Obama, an avowed Marxist Communist, a significant chapter in American History finally closed. Our sixty year long Cold War with Communism is over and the Communists won the war.
These words precede those of President Kennedy, so no one can say we didn’t see this coming:
“We cannot expect the Americans to jump from Capitalism to Communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving Americans small doses of Socialism until they suddenly awake to find they have Communism.”
Nikita Khrushchev, 1959
As we Americans continue to live out the old Chinese curse, “May you live in interesting times.”

Karma has definitely come full circle, and we’re getting what we (collectively) deserve, for the past 30-50 years national behavior.
I think he will get a deserved “resurrection” of his reputation.
