I started working in Washington, DC, and I watched an organization called the American Security Council. They used to rate the Democrats like Nancy Pelosi, like Dick Durbin, like Chuck Schumer. All the way to the present \u2013 what we saw was every chance it came to protect America from Moscow, they were on the other side. They were cutting side deals. Kennedy talking over with the Russian government and their leaders.<\/p>\n<p>All the way to the present. After George W. Bush reaches an agreement with Eastern European countries about an anti-ballistic missile program, what do they do? They ended it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It\u2019s a legacy that may have begun decades ago, but Horace pointed out that that liberals are still \u2013 even during their criticism of the Trump Administration\u2019s stance toward Russia \u2013 taking positions that are friendly to the Russian agenda:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>When Moscow invented \u2013 out of whole cloth \u2013 the international peace movement that took over Europe with their funding, where was the left? When Moscow said that it was a farce that the President of the United States, Ronald Reagan, would put up a Strategic Defense Initiative, where were the progressives? They were with Moscow.<\/p>\n<p>You come all the way to today \u2013 2017 \u2013 when we had the President\u2019s budget on defense. Where were the progressives? They did not support it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201c60 years,\u201d Project 21 Co-Chairman Horace Cooper declared. \u201cThe left has been on the wrong side \u2013 siding with Moscow against the interests of Americans. 60 years!\u201d Discussing allegations of Russian interference in American affairs \u2013 an albatross liberals and their allies in the media&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":30846,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[74,36],"tags":[77],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.4 -
