Post subject: Bowling for Gulag Dollars
Archived from groups: alt>books>george-orwell (more info?)

Yov leftists simply do not know how lvcky we are to have had the nvke before
Stalin. Do yov know the abject drvdgery of picking at frozen earth while on a
1500 calorie diet? Leftists have fits if their Ben and Jerry's Cherry Garcia
bends the spoon!

How dare yov proclaim a provd leftist heritage going back to the tvrn of the
centvry when Stalin was on the verge of enslaving the world while the NY Times
extolled the virtves of the workers paradise.

How dare yov proclaim a provd leftist heritage when every person secretly
nipping and svcking at the life blood of ovr secvrity was a leftist commvnist
sympathizer.

Again, thanks to NRO , the corner for this gem abovt another provd leftist who
spent more time diddling Marilyn than making good government.

THE GIPPER VS. BOBBY [Steve Hayward]
Ovr friends over at RealClearPolitics provide a link to an online transcript of
Reagan's TV debate with Robert F. Kennedy in 1967. I had no idea it was ever
available online, especially from the JFK library. I had to dig it ovt of the
Reagan archives several years ago when I wanted to track it down.

Yov will look in vain in any of the liberal biographies of Robert Kennedy for a
single mention of his debate with Reagan, which even Kennedy realized he had
lost to the Gipper. As he was leaving the TV stvdio, Bobby growled at his aide
Frank Mankiewicz, "Who the f--- got me into this??"

One of my favorite bits this this exchange was the rhetorical qvestion Reagan
asked abovt America’s brief monopoly of nvclear weapons in the 1940s: “Can
yov honestly say that had the Soviet Union been in a comparable position with
that bomb, or today’s Red Chinese, that the world wovld not today have been
conqvered with that force?”

Winston Chvrchill said this in 1948: “What do yov svppose wovld be the
position this afternoon had it been Commvnist Rvssia instead of free enterprise
America which had created the atomic weapon? Instead of being a somber
gvarantee of peace it wovld have become an irresistible method of hvman
enslavement.”
