Obama’s Treachery and Republican Silence

"When will they stop pretending this is a normal presidency?"
When Horowitz was doing his book tour for Radical Son, I was on a local radio show as a guest and Horowitz did a phoner. As a fellow ex-communist, we compared notes for a bit on what we had done in the 60s and 70s and then I asked him, "David, do you ever feel Benedict Arnold looking over your shoulder, as I do?" He was quiet and then said, "Yes, I do." I then followed up, "But you're never going to get caught on the wrong side of your faith and the Founders again, are you?" "No," he said, in a much more emphatic voice. "No." "Me neither," I told him.

hmm.. I used to smoke. I always thought the craziest most obnoxious anti-smokers were the ex-smokers.

I once knew Horowitz well enough to be on a first name basis. He made a great impression on me and his gift copy of Radical Son was a true eye opener.

Thank you both for following the dictates of your conscience into the Light of Truth.

Excellent article from one of my heroes. David is to me as "Herr Doctor" is to you. David's book "Radical Son" was the book that made me understand the lie I had been living. I will be forever in his debt for turning me away from liberalism/communism and putting me on the path of Conservatism and truth.

I hope I get to meet him someday.

I'm an x-smoker but I believe in freedom.

Communists and other Marxists believe in freedom too. Right up to the point where they start winning elections.

"Barack Obama deliberately set out to lose the war in Iraq, and he did. He defied the advice of his joint chiefs of staff to secure America’s formidable military presence and keep 20,000 troops in country, and left Iraq to its own devices and the tender mercies of Iran. In doing so, he betrayed every American and Iraqi who gave his life to create a free Iraq and keep it out of the clutches of the terrorists."

I should have guessed. Another load of crap from chicken-hawk Horowitz.

Oh, and it is a normal presidency. Every one of the bastards are power-hungry tyrants.

So I guess we'll let it go and not flog your asses....

I'm a bit confused by his assertion that Obama's secretaries of state contributed to the mess in Iraq by their support of Bashar Assad.

I didn't think they had supported Assad (remember the whole Red Line thing?) but even if they did, it is not Assad who made the mess of Iraq. It was the Syrian "rebels" that this government aided materially, and they were on the opposite side of Assad.

Remember when these "rebels" posted videos of all the beheadings, eating hearts, pushing people off rooftops, and so on? Those Syrian rebels are the same group, they were and are ISIS. They were given American weapons by the Obama government. They were also funneled Qadaffi's stash of weapons through Benghazi.

Reasons why? NSA, CIA FBI and the skeletons in their closets?
