Peace at any cost is a prelude to war!
Socialists in Democrats' clothing
No, I didn't watch the so-called debate between Al Gore and Bill Bradley last
week.
I didn't think I would learn anything. I was wrong.
Had I watched, I would have learned that the Democratic Party's top
leadership -- not just a fringe element within the ranks -- is so deeply and
uncompromisingly committed to the ugliest and most totalitarian aspects of
socialism as to represent an imminent threat to freedom in this country.
I refer to the observations made by Bill Bradley when asked, in essence: Who
were the three greatest leaders in world history?
Without so much as a whimper of protest from his opponent, nor a guffaw from
the hand-picked Democratic Party activist audience present, Bradley said
there are "three values ... important that a leader has to have. One is
absolute integrity -- honesty and integrity. And there I think of Jimmy
Carter. Second, I think that a leader has got to have the ability to see
around the corners, to see the future before it's here. I think Woodrow
Wilson had that. What he talked about America became America in the 20th
century. And next, I think a leader has to have courage. Example of that, I
would pick somebody who's not an American, Mikhail Gorbachev, who saw that
the world was (changing), and had the courage to make that change."
Let's talk about those sterling examples of leadership:
Carter: Bradley is right that Jimmy Carter had honesty and integrity. But he
was, most Americans agreed then and agree now, a lousy president. I say this
as someone who voted for him twice. He was a loser. He nearly destroyed the
U.S. military (though not to the extent of Bill Clinton). He blamed Americans
for the failure of his own failed economic policies.
Wilson: Woodrow Wilson was the first U.S. president to advocate the sacrifice
of American sovereignty and self-determination in favor of a global order
through the League of Nations, the predecessor to the United Nations. He also
signed into law the Federal Reserve System, an abomination to those who
believe in republican accountability, the rule of law and free markets. He
was hardly the visionary Bradley describes. He was as responsible as anyone
for getting America into World War I.
Gorbachev: Mikhail Gorbachev, the scourge of Afghanistan, did not, as Bradley
suggests, "have the courage to change." Perhaps Bradley needs to be reminded
that Gorbachev was removed from power in a bloodless coup. He had not
transformed Russia. He was and remains today universally hated in his
country. He was a tyrant and never willingly relinquished power. He never
willingly recognized the inalienable rights of his people. In fact, to this
day, he has never renounced socialism or Communism.
It says a lot about Bradley that he chose Gorbachev as one of three
outstanding world leaders of all time. He did not choose Noah, Moses, nor
King Solomon. He did not choose Jesus Christ, nor the Apostle Paul. He did
not choose George Washington, nor Thomas Jefferson, nor James Madison. He did
not even choose Winston Churchill, Margaret Thatcher, nor Ronald Reagan. No.
He chose Gorbachev, an unrepentant Communist tyrant who dropped bombs that
looked like toys in a genocidal war against the Afghan people in our own
lifetime!
You have to wonder how Bradley reconciles his selections of Carter and
Gorbachev. During his administration, Carter recognized Gorbachev as the
brute that he was for invading Afghanistan in a failed attempt to dash toward
the Persian Gulf oil fields. Carter's response was characteristically feeble.
He chose to boycott the Olympics in protest.
This is not a joke, folks. I think Bill Bradley has an excellent chance of
becoming the next president of the United States. He is running ahead of Gov.
George W. Bush, the all-but crowned Republican front-runner, in some polls.
He is certainly a genuine threat to win the Democratic presidential
nomination.
And one of his three heroes is Mikhail Gorbachev. In fact, all three of his
heroes have one thing in common. They were all unequivocally and convincingly
repudiated by their own people. Wilson and Carter suffered landslide defeats
as sitting presidents, while Gorbachev could muster only 1 percent in an
attempted comeback as president of Russia.
What does all this say about the sad state of American politics? Such poor
choices were not even challenged by Gore. Have millions of Americans lost
their collective minds? And what does it say about the U.S. press
establishment, which didn't even consider Bradley's incredible response to
the question newsworthy?
