I always get a kick out of the blog posts on the internet. Oh, the Americans who post their snide comments on American "imperialism " or some such snarky observations. I Notice around Chicago, there seems to be so many hangers on of the left wing that love to use patriotism for a punching bag, I wonder how they feel about mother Russia today, in light of yet another invasion - Crimea.
It was October of 1956 when Dean Rusk was addressing the Senate, interrupted by an aide, that he rose to leave, he turned and blurted out to the Senators, " there are tanks in the streets of Hungary, I have to go to the White House!!!" From then on, the hidden Communists in our country were tougher to find. Columnist Pete Hammell from Esquire magazine confessed he lost his left wing passion for any liberal cause he had left, he said in a story in later years. It's why I hate the TV series "The Americans."
So now, it's a dozen airborne helicopters from mother Russia, filled with combat clad Russian combat marines, fires raging everywhere. The smart-ass ambassador flips off reporters' questions about force up politics Russian style. Sorry, Comrade.
So.....where are the bedfellows of Russian sympathies now?
