Funny how the libs keep trying to re-write history. (Communists and Liberals play on the same team)
The only reason they have not yet succeeded in flushing the real reasons for the end of the Cold War down the memory hole is that too many of us are still alive who lived through it and remember it.
Here is a good example: I went to a movie last night, and one of the previews was for “Charlie Wilson’s War”. I saw the book, but never read it. This preview was laced with small interview tidbits with the actors starring in it, Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts and so on. I like Tom Hanks, even though he is a raging lefty...he mostly keeps it to himself. In one of the interviews, Tom Hanks talks about how this guy Charlie Wilson was a real patriot who won the Cold War singlehandedly, and how there was no hypocrisy in his actions and deeds, etc.. Julia Roberts gushed over this guy, you get the idea.
Already, I think: “Hmm...Julia Roberts...Lefty...Tom Hanks...Lefty...these people would never do anything like this for someone like Oliver North, who was a genuine patriot...”
Then the preview tells you the screenplay was done by Aaron Sorkin...and that will tell you all you need to know about this.
They are relentless in their efforts to rewrite history, twist the language to suit their needs, and lie cheat and steal to gain power.
Well said, we lived through it.
That's bizarre because usually in lefty talking-points, Charlie Wilson's actions vis a vis Afghanistan are cited as Exhibit A for how 9/11 was "blowback" and we "created" Osama bin Laden. I guess consistency takes a back seat when you're a lefty and trying to sell a movie.
“They are relentless in their efforts to rewrite history, twist the language to suit their needs, and lie cheat and steal to gain power.”
It is necessary if they are to succeed. Most Americans are too comfortable and distracted to even get a glimmer of the machinations.
