You would think that a person that fought Marxism as hard as he did would be able to detect a whiff of a Marxist from a hundred yards...upwind.

I hate to say it but maybe he was a stooge all those years ago. Some comrades are more equal than others and who's faction was he married too, over their opposition. Sad day when I think one of the principals that helped bring down the Soviet Union was not what we thought.

I still want to know when Gerald Ford said Poland was free in the debates with Carter, was that a Intel Slip and what Intel did he have, i.e did they know then in 76' that the Soviets and their Satellite States were about to collapse....

Knowing what we know now about the Soviets' long-term strategy at the time (play dead and let the west declare victory), you may be right.
