Twenty years ago today.

We've posted Reagan's Brandenburg Gate speech a couple times here so I won't do it again.

But we will notice just how disgraceful it is that neither the President nor the Vice-President found the twentieth anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall significant enough an event to attend, or thus far even comment on. 

From the end of WWII to 1989, the world was locked in a power struggle between good and evil, each ultimately with the capacity to destroy everything. Two major proxy wars and a 30-year arms race later, good won and the world sounded a collective sigh of relief as the most enduring symbol of Communism was torn apart by the people on both sides.

Barack Hussein Obama seems unimpressed. 

I hasten to call Obama a Communist, at least in the Soviet sense of the word. I don't think he's smart enough to understand the concept quite frankly. But I do think that our President's actions and words thus far have made it almost unmistakable that he believes the State has a legitimate role in ownership of the means of production and a say in the most intimate details of the lives of its citizens. That isn't Communism. That's totalitarianism. 

In the end it really doesn't matter. The point is that Obama's priorities are so twisted that it's beginning to look like you can determine what the best course of action for the United States is by doing the exact opposite of what Obama does. It's important for the United States to have the Olympics in Chicago but it's not important for the United States to take part in a global celebration commemorating the collapse of the Evil Empire.

Chew on that for a second.
