The slimy twerp took our support of the anti-Soviet Mujahadeen (sp?) in the mid-80's as his rationale for blaming the U.S. ...

This is why liberals try to hang this on the U.S., because we helped them fight the Soviet occupiers. The left has never quite gotten over the collapse of the USSR, due in large part to Reagan's pressure on them and close to a half-century of the U.S. standing up to their expansionism.

The giveaway was when Glick tried to assert that the Soviet-backed regime in Kabul during the 1980's was a "democratically-elected" government. Right. Elected at the point of an AK-47 and column after column of Soviet armor rolling into the streets of the cities and villages.

"Glick tried to assert that the Soviet-backed regime in Kabul during the 1980's was a "democratically-elected" government."

Thank you. I counldn't remember the time frames and wonderer if was referencing something that might be true or was misrepresenting the actual situation. (OK, considering who it was I was 99% sure he was lying, but thanks for removing the 1% of doubt.)

His father must truly be proud. Poor man. Better to be dead than to know your child is an America-hating enemy sympathizer.

That's the latest language trick. Communism is now "democracy", because that's what "the people" want.

"Self-determination" only occurs when "the People" determine themselves to be communists. Otherwise "the people" are being denied a voice, and repressed.

They believe it is possible to democratically impose communism here. All they need to do is make sure that the tax-consumers outnumber the tax-payers and then...hey wait a minute...it's a miracle we're not already communist.

Not quite enough socialists in congress yet, I imagine.

That's usually the underlying cause of the hate of Reagan - he actively opposed Communism.
If you look at most of the American "intervention" that the left opposes, said intervention is usually against the spread of Communism.

Call them on it. Don't let them hide under some other pretense.
"You're really upset (about Iran-Contra, Nicaragua, Afghanistan, etc) because the spread of Communism was being thwarted, aren't you?"
