In today’s, (Tuesday, August 7th) Wall Street Journal in an article entitled “Propaganda Redux”, some chilling revelations were made by a former KGB General that is relevant to our current sad state of political discourse.
Lt. General Ion Mihai Pacepa is the highest-ranking intelligence officer ever to have defected from the Soviet bloc. He reveals that sowing the seeds of anti-Americanism by discrediting the American president was one of the main tasks of the Soviet-bloc intelligence community during the years he worked as the head of Romania’s intelligence station in West Germany. The Soviets understood that international respect for America is directly proportional to America’s own respect for its president. The communist effort to generate hatred for the American president began soon after President Truman set up NATO and continued until the fall of the Soviet Union on the watch of President Regan.
Lt. Gen. Pacepa stated, “During the Vietnam War we spread vitriolic stories around the world, pretending that America's presidents sent Genghis Khan-style barbarian soldiers to Vietnam who raped at random, taped electrical wires to human genitals, cut off limbs, blew up bodies and razed entire villages. Those weren't facts. They were our tales, but some seven million Americans ended up being convinced their own president, not communism, was the enemy.” Sound familiar, John Kerry?
Today’s Bush-hating liberal far left has taken a page right out of the communist playbook and the Democrat presidential pretenders and many Democrats in Congress are singing in perfect harmony. They are abetting America’s enemies with their intemperate attacks on President Bush.
We may not be able to change this shameful behavior of some of our current political representatives, but we are certainly able, through the power of the ballot, to introduce healthy new blood into the U.S. Congress. Let’s vote next year for people who believe in America’s future, not for the ones that loath America and everything that has made her great.
