We "defeated" the Soviets? That's funny...I thought they dismantled the Iron Curtain for socio-ecomonic reasons. And that through diplomacy we reached a middle ground.

Maybe Limbaugh was high on Percosets when all that went down.

Ooof...voting him up is so hard...so I'll just say for the record that this man is as crazy as Alex Jones.

There's plenty there to point out as bluster or just plain wrong, as usual - but I'll just say this:
Ever notice Rush & O'Reilly rarely (if ever) appear before radio & TV audiences they can't control? Check it out:

"We "defeated" the Soviets? That's funny...I thought they dismantled the Iron Curtain for socio-ecomonic reasons. And that through diplomacy we reached a middle ground."

Uhh..no, not exactly. We "defeated" (so-to-speak) the soviets through shear economic power. The arms race between the U.S. and the Soviets was won by the U.S. when the Soviet's communist economic model collapsed under its own weight when the country went bankrupt and could no longer compete.

The Iron Curtain (i.e. The Berlin Wall) was not dismantled through diplomacy. Communists do not give up that kind of power willingly. It came down as the result of a bureaucratic snafu when the East German Minister of Propaganda announced what he thought was the immediate easing of travel restrictions to West Germany. The ensuing rush of citizens to the boarder quickly resulted in the famous news footage of the wall comming down.

Uhhh.... The iron curtain != the berlin wall. Mebbe you should leave the history to others...

It's too bad this site too often inserts political opinion because it often diverts from the entertainment value (at least for me)

"When Good negotiates with Evil, Evil will always win. And peace follows victory, not words issued by diplomats."

Hear, hear! Killing islamofascists (the cancer) to save the patient (Western Society).

BRILLIANT!

"please tell me that last post was a joke so I can take your opinions seriously in future."

I see, and which part of that would you like to refute?

BTW, I know that the Berlin Wall is not exactly equal to the Iron Curtain, but it is the most commonly referenced physical representaion of the Iron Curtain. The Curtain itself is more accurately defined as the borders that seperated western Europe from the Soviet Bloc, but generalized references to the Iron Curtain tend to focus the the Berlin wall itself as one of the more nafarious landmarks.

Rush says "Our generation will not disappoint".

My response "YOUR generation already has. So often, so thoroughly, and so completely".

Chickenhawk.
