FLASHBACK: That Time Ronald Reagan Dedicated the Space Shuttle to the Taliban (Video)

http://atlasleft.org/flashback-that-time-ronald-reagan-dedicated-the-space-shuttle-to-the-taliban-video/

Posted by: Bob Cull in Idiot Republicans, Noteworthy News, Videos June 6, 2014

As the GOP races to see which one of them can demonize President Obama the most over the prisoner exchange which freed Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl last week, they might want to take a look back to the 1980′s and their patron Saint Ronald of San Clemente.

For those who may have forgotten, Ronald Reagan was a big fan of the Taliban or, as they were then known, the Mujaheddin (freedom fighters). At the time, they were fighting the Russians (then part of the Soviet Union), who had occupied their country, much as they now are fighting another occupying army — ours. America and the USSR were still locked in the grip of the Cold War, and any enemies of theirs were friends of ours. Reagan was so enamored of the Taliban that he dedicated the space shuttle Columbia to them in 1982.
“Just as the Columbia, we think, represents man’s finest aspirations in the field of science and technology,” the then President said, “so too does the struggle of the Afghan people represent man’s highest aspirations for freedom. I am dedicating on behalf of the American people the March 22 launch of the Columbia to the people of Afghanistan.”

Reagan met with the leaders of the group which would eventually become the Taliban and al Quaeda in the Oval Office and even compared them favorably to the Founding Fathers of the United States.

Throughout the 80s, during Reagan’s administration (and with his unconditional blessings) the CIA funneled billions of dollars to the Mujaheddin in arms, training, and other assistance to aid them in their fight against the Russians. The policies of the Reagan administration, in dealing with those who they called freedom fighters at the time, created the Taliban as well as al Quaeda, and led directly to the 9/11 attacks. Those attacks in turn led to the current war in Afghanistan and the war in Iraq although that nation was in no way connected to 9/11 or al Qaeda.
Watch Reagan’s dedication.

I see. Obama is aiding the enemy because Reagan did? That still is not a good enough excuse to do something so damaging to morale and to national security. When Reagan dealt with the Taliban it was very different. That was a president looking after our interests. Obama is not.

We never should have dealt with Islam but we did. No one informed people( or did?) exactly how dangerous Islam is. That it backfired, should be a lesson to us and certainly we should aid them in no way now.

SOWELL: Obama is not a socialist

Thomas Sowell confirms the fact that we have our very own Eva Perón:

One of the reasons why both pro-Obama and anti-Obama observers may be reluctant to see him as fascist is that both tend to accept the prevailing notion that fascism is on the political right, while it is obvious that Obama is on the political left.

Back in the 1920s, however, when fascism was a new political development, it was widely — and correctly — regarded as being on the political left. Jonah Goldberg’s great book “Liberal Fascism” cites overwhelming evidence of the fascists’ consistent pursuit of the goals of the left, and of the left’s embrace of the fascists as one of their own during the 1920s.

Mussolini, the originator of fascism, was lionized by the left, both in Europe and in America, during the 1920s. Even Hitler, who adopted fascist ideas in the 1920s, was seen by some, including W.E.B. Du Bois, as a man of the left.

It was in the 1930s, when ugly internal and international actions by Hitler and Mussolini repelled the world, that the left distanced themselves from fascism and its Nazi offshoot — and verbally transferred these totalitarian dictatorships to the right, saddling their opponents with these pariahs.

What socialism, fascism and other ideologies of the left have in common is an assumption that some very wise people — like themselves — need to take decisions out of the hands of lesser people, like the rest of us, and impose those decisions by government fiat.


For some eerie parallels of our current situation with that of Argentina's collapse, please see the illustrated tale entitled "Don't Cry for Me, America

Not a pretty story.

That is a GREAT idea! Kudos to whoever it was at the state dept. who thought of that. I wish I had written to President Obama suggesting it.

I would take a Mexican neighbor ANYDAY over a Republican...

I see you are also a racist pig against Mexicans too, pathetic.

Does your hatred of color extend to the entire southern hemisphere or is it just Mexico?

@RexRed,
I certainly agree with you about not wanting Republicans as neighbors. I have some and find that, while they are often pleasant and helpful, they love to send me emails that are full of lies. For instance, they love to lie about Obama's birthplace, religion, citizenship, education, etc. They also lie about Obamacare, alleging that it provides for death panels, medical care for illegals, cost, etc. One recently lied about Soros, saying that he admitted being a commie, and that he supported communist organizations. The Republicans are sickening.

Do you mean "defend Boob? And i did defend him. Weakening the USSR(remember that name?)was advantageous for the US. He acted in the country's interest. And we know Obama doesn't have any interest in the country's well being.

You are so far gone you can't objectionably call anyone anything. You are the one who is intolerant.
