Title: 30 years ago: "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!"
Post by: quiller on June 13, 2017, 06:58:01 AM
When America had leadership, and a media less treasonous....

QuoteThere's certainly nothing wrong with news outlets remembering the anniversary of the terror attack on the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Fla., though the seemingly required conclusion that "we may never know the shooter's motives" is really wearing thin. But what about that other anniversary?

It turns out it's not just us, and a few other people thought the 30th anniversary of President Ronald Reagan's challenge to Mikhail Gorbachev to tear down the Berlin Wall rated some acknowledgement as well.

What, a decade's long historic cold war ended without firing a shot, brought about the collapse of a communist death grip on a third of the planet, and the leftist media ignores the accomplishment of one man to bring it to a close?
Not one member of this site is surprised.

This is why the left is bat shit crazy about Trump. Although they will not acknowledge it they know how effective Reagan was. They are afraid that Trump will be just as effective

Ronald Reagan: "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall".

Barrack Obama: "I told Putin to cut it out."

Putin, leaning to one side, "Phaaaat!"   Obama "cut it out!", I'm trying to look serious!  MSM headline, "Obama warns Putin".
