Have you felt the earth move the last several days? It's President Reagan
rolling in his grave upon President Obama's foreign policy and nuclear goals
being favorably compared to Reagan's modus operandi.
Remember a long time ago, in a galaxy far away, Reagan was at the helm guiding
the Republic against an Evil Empire. Now with Obama at the helm, we are light
years away from the leadership of Reagan. Appeasement of terrorists, political
correctness, slow admittance that we are even in a war (or should I say
"contingency operation"), believing that just saying no to nukes and singing
Kumbaya will solve the world's problems . . . the list grows by the day of the
blaring differences between the two presidents.
Natan Sharansky, who experienced the effects of the Evil Empire first-hand when
he spent 13 years in the Siberian gulag, was asked by The Weekly Standard about
Reagan standing up against the former Soviet Union. Sharansky said, "He had the
moral clarity to understand the truth, and the courage both to speak the truth
and to do what needed to be done to support it. It was a great, brilliant
moment when we learned that Ronald Reagan had proclaimed the Soviet Union an
Evil Empire before the entire world. This was the moment. It was the brightest,
most glorious day. Finally a spade had been called a spade. Finally, Orwell's
Newspeak was dead. President Reagan had from that moment made it impossible for
anyone in the West to continue closing their eyes to the real nature of the
Soviet Union."
So much for the days of calling a spade a spade as we face the new Evil Empire
of terrorism. Under Obama's moral clarity and Newspeak, "Muslim extremist" and
"jihad" are being removed from our vocabulary. Political correctness explains
that terrorists are really the victims of social ills. Deterrent policies are
thrown out the White House window. Israel is reassured that tough measures will
be taken against Iran's nuclear program, and then yawn, that memo is placed in
the "Eventually Impose Sanctions That Will Bite" file. What a reassuring
promise considering all the appeasing bark that is behind the bite. Obama and
Reagan being placed in the same category? The two don't even belong in the same
galaxy.
Perhaps one of the things that drove Reagan to be such a great leader in the
face of an enemy was knowing that the fight at large was for individuals. He
was known to keep a list in his coat pocket of people in prison in the Soviet
Union. Each time before Secretary of State George Shultz traveled to the former
Soviet Union, Reagan pulled out the list and remind Shultz to raise those names
to the Soviets. Natan Sharansky was on the list. His freedom was gained because
the leader of the United States did not flinch in the face of evil, but
systematically called for needed and expected changes.
I can't help but wonder what would happen if Obama carried a list of victims of
terrorism in his pocket. Indeed Obama does seem to carry a list. A list of the
perpetrators of terrorism to remind himself and his staff, not who they are
fighting against, but rather who it is they will appease, aid, and abet. And it
is a reminder to all of us of who seems to have Obama snugly in their pocket.
