The "No-Nukes" President
Posted by: Carol Platt Liebau at 2:54 PM
NRO's Andy McCarthy comments here on the glimmers of reporting about President Obama's days at Columbia and his left-wing anti-war associations. 

It might have been illuminating for the voting public to be able to contrast Obama's peacenik-y writings with the solid national security background of John McCain -- but unfortunately, the media was too busy trying to find Sarah Palin's political adversaries to bother.

So now the President is off to Russia to engage in "diplomacy" with yet another "misunderstood" country.  Let's hope for the sake of our national security that he's lost some of the naive adolescent ideas that so clearly infuse his collegiate writings.

"Hard to tell with the Obama admin- who do they root for in a case like this? Communist Chinese hard-liners or Muslim separatist Uighurs?"

Good question! Who's the right wing rooting for?

Are you sure you are not the re-embodiment of Alger Hiss or Walter Durranty? LOL Surely you must be one of the guys in the State Dept. who thought the Chi-coms were agrarian reformers?? You sound suspiciously like a Berkeley sophomore.

Codlover: undereducated means what?
Sarah Palin is a college graduate with a 4-year degree in journalism. She's a business owner, a homeowner, and a wife and mother of five children.

Frankly speaking, Palin is actually more accomplished than her critic's are.

I ask you again, Bea. . .
which lib here offered up Buchanan?

And what's your response to the fact that Ronald Reagan was was equally, if not more so, desirous of nuclear disarmament?

That post was NOT classic Bea. It was slightly vulgar (which is not BEA, at all). But, my husband felt that it was appropriate considering the responses from the male libs...up to the time of my snit vs. post.

They're useless! Everyone knows it, but some continue to believe that somehow they protect us. Talk about naive! Any country that uses them would be subject to a retalitory attack which in turn would destroy the instigator. This a such a nonsensical subject.

"White House Concerned..."
"...About Deadly China Protests"

That must mean Obama is upset that the Uighurs were responsible for only ~140 deaths. Or that the Chinese cracked down only on the Uighurs..


Hard to tell with the Obama admin- who do they root for in a case like this? Communist Chinese hard-liners or Muslim separatist Uighurs?

Hey Bea, which lib offered up Buchanan?

Into your cups this afternoon, are you?

BO is Moving @ Lightening Speed...!
For all you libs who are soooooo defensive as to BO's actions with Medvedev....offering up Pat Buchannan(?), an MSNBC slap-down, as proof-of-life after the death of America.....I say: FU!

Naivete...sure, the US cuts our nuclear arsenal (in half) from 3,000 to 1,500 w/Russia prosposing same.....duh? Thence, we cut another half, and another half, and another half: with Russian secretely in non-compliance. Trust, ahem?

Well, when the nukes start arriving and our arsenal is empty, all you eunuchs who obviously DID NOT READ BO'S, three-page, Columbia University article, and, did not recognize his destructive agenda, "then and now", will be standing at attention holding your limp ding-dongs, trying desperately to make a feeble peace sign with your other hand.

Gee, imagine that. So unlike US foreign policy, which is motived by love for Russia and wants to see her strong.

Oh Obama
is not naive; he is just NOT the man for the job. his prob with NPD forces him to think in abstracts and his reality and fantasy worlds are intertwined. He is just a community organizer who has a Marxist attitude and loves Socialism. Now he is going to get in bed with Putin and others. Putin does NOT like the US and wants to see US weak.
We are slowly sinking into a Third World Mentality. Soon our inflation will his double and maybe triple digits. This is ALL the Democrats strategy to move use to a ALL tax country so they can play with our monies. This bad economy plan has been in the works for years. The Democrats started the Community Reinvestment Act and the dominoes have finally fallen.
Atlas Shrugged?? Shades of George Orwell's 1984.
In other words: This was all preplanned.
Why else to rush to pass all of this bad legilation: Crap and Trade; multiple stimulus bills; Government Controlled Health Care; nationalization of the banks, industry, energy production.

when you work hard in high school, go to a great college and grad schools, and finish those tasks on time. It isn't snobbish to read a lot and be able to talk about what you read.

What's the big deal?
Have any president since Ike(?) not held discussions with the USSR/Russia during which they did not say that they had an agreement to reduce the number of NUC's?

I can't recall one -- and none accomplished much worthy of note.

I doubt that Obama will accomplish much either -- he'll say a few nice things and get a few nice things in return -- that's about all.

No such luck Carol.
Look, I have been around long enough, that I remember the late '40's, '50's and '60's when leftists were crying out how beastly America was to drop a bomb on Japan, having superiority over our 'socialist brothers like China and the USSR with our A-weapons,' and then calling for a freeze or complete disarmament in the radical, foolish '60's. The socialist pacifist naif in the WH has today made the same type of plea and ploy to the Russians. Putin is laughing up his sleeve at this simpleton. He is putting our national security in jeopardy. Period. He cannot see the democrats in Honduras or in Iran. He would rather deal with tyrants like himself in the naive view that only he can bring global peace and egalitarianism. All dictators have secretly thought that since the time of the Roman Empire.

McCain's 'solid security credentials'?
you mean the ones that led him to nominate Palin, an undereducated quitter, as VP.

Cicero writes: Monday, July, 06, 2009 3:08 PM
Ah yes.
Still fighting the "Red Menace", are we, Carol? Always the Russophobes, you neocons.

Here's what an authentic conservative has to say about Russia. Read and weep, you imposters:

Let us hope and pray Mr. Obama can undo at least SOME of the damage created by Messrs. Clinton and Bush.
