Twenty years ago this fall, the Iron Curtain was coming down in Europe. Across the Warsaw Pact, the jailers of the Communist prison states lost their nerve, and the cell walls crumbled. Matt Welch, the editor of Reason magazine, wonders why the anniversary is going all but unobserved: Why aren't we making more of the biggest mass liberation in history?
Well, because to celebrate it would involve recognizing it as a victory over Communism. And, after the Left's long march through the institutions of the West, most are not willing to do that. There's the bad totalitarianism (Nazism) and the good totalitarianism (Communism), whose apologists and, indeed, fetishists can still be found everywhere, even unto the White House.
Rush Limbaugh's remarks are "divisive"; Anita Dunn's are entirely normal. But don't worry, the new Fairness Doctrine will take care of the problem. I'd say the willaim ayers brand of education has done its work (just a guy in Barack's neighborhood, perhaps known to Barack because their kids attend the same schools up there in timeless Chicago). Our kids have no clue from public education just what has come before the advent of the marxist affirmative action messiah. Not only do they not know what the Cold War was, they have nearly zero knowledge of how this nation came to be or what it has stood for before the democrat party transmogrified into the modern communist party usa.

The Left does control many of our institutions, but Jesus holds their lives, (and ours), in his hands.
