Last night, while we observed a clearly deranged sitting vice president who found it necessary to feign laughter while the topics of the debate ranged from why millions of American are sinking into poverty to the danger of nuclear war in the Middle East, it’s important to remember this man’s foreign policy record. He is among the Democrats like John Kerry who came into office in the aftermath of Watergate and America’s defeat in Viet Nam. He is among those who voted to cut off all aid to our former allies in South Viet Nam who had been fighting the North for two years after all American soldiers had departed.
History will likely record that this was blackest moment in American history as it consigned as many as 100,000 former allies to summary execution.
It’s important to note that old Congressional Democrats like Dodd, Kerry, and Biden have voted against most the country’s vital weapons systems including the B-1 and B-2 bombers, the Apache helicopter, the patriot missile, the F-14 and F-15 jets. He, Kerry, and their colleagues cast over fifty votes against missile defense that allowed Ronal Reagan to bankrupt the Soviet Union. His attempts to cover-up Benghazi Gate are best understood when you consider that Obama is a junior member in a club which mistakenly believes it can appease those who would like to destroy us.
We should all be very alarmed if there is a second Obama term. While very grave dangers to this country mount, Biden was prompted to laugh.
