An analysis piece by Michael Barone. Oh, joy! One time, in the early 80’s, Mr. Barone was traveling to Latin America so he went to the book store to learn about the area. Instead of getting what he expected, he discovered that the United States had been dicking over the people of Latin America for over a hundred years. Taking their land, extracting their resources, propping up and toppling their governments. This was unacceptable. Who could write such things about America?
Why, Marxists, that’s who. No, not historians. No patriotic historian would record history in such a way. Anyway, apparently Barack Obama is one of these Marxists, and that explains why he pulled the long-range missile defense program in Eastern Europe, has doubts about escalating our forces in Afghanistan, and is telling the Israelis to chill with the expansion of settlements on Palestinian land. It’s all so logical.
