On the other hand, the dim-0-crats (aided by the MSM) have no such problem ... and never have.
You are correct. What people have to keep in mind is that the KGB has subverted our society, and continues to do so. Putin rules Russia with a KGB clique.
American patriots fight against an unseen adversary that most people do not believe exists. The Communists are the most skillful practitioners of subversion the world has ever known. The organ of the Soviet Communist government that actually practised subversion for them---the KGB---now rules Russia. This is little understood.
From an article in the Wall Street Journal, page 1, Wednesday, February 23, 2005:
"Mr. Putin him self served more than 15 years in the KGB and later headed its successor, the FSB [actually, the KGB split onto 2 organizations, the FSB (international, like the CIA) and the SVR (national, like the FBI).] Since taking over the Kremlin in 2000, he has presided over an unprecedented influx of ex-KGB men into the upper echelons of power---men whose formative years were spent learning how to undermine the West's interests.
Prominent among the ex-KGB officials who now pace the Kremlin's corridors are Defense minister Sergei Ivanov, Interior Minister Rahid Nurgaliev, and FSB chief Nikolai Patrushev, as well as the heads of Russia's arms-export, defense-procurement, and drug-enforcement agencies. A close Putin aide and former KGB man, Victor Ivano, serves on the board of flagship airline OAO Aeroflot. A favorite parlor game in Russia is to divine which other senior officials and businessmen have suspicious gaps in their resume that suggest a past with the intelligence services."
Sad but true.
