How Democrats Have Failed Americans
from Ann Colter's book-"High Crimes and Misdemeanors"
At the Nuremberg Trials, Truman connived with Stalin to cover up Soviet
war crimes and flush the Hitler-Stalin Pact down the memory hole. Truman apologized
to Stalin for Churchill’s famous “Iron Curtain” speech and invited Stalin to the United
States for a rebuttal speech. He offered Stalin the services of the U.S.S. Missouri for the
trip. See “Architects of Victory” about the Cold War. Truman created the Loyalty-
Security Program in 1947. In 1948, Truman’s Justice Department prosecuted CPUSA
Leaders for sedition under the Alien Registration Act. The law was later thrown out by
the Supreme Court. *By 1950, Truman’s strategy of “containment” had led to
Communist takeovers of all of Eastern Europe and more than a billion people in China.
The Democrats say that Truman’s “abandonment of Chiang Kai-shek” avoided a war
and has made the recent improvement of Sino-American relations possible. In January of
1950, Truman’s secretary of state, Dean Atchison gave a speech at the National Press
Club writing off South Korea. Stalin was impressed, and North Korea attacked South
Korea just five months later. Douglas MacArthur’s troops swept north, eventually
crossing the Yalu River-when the Chinese Communists attacked. MacArthur ordered the
Chinese off the peninsula. Truman believed that MacArthur antagonized the Chinese by
doing this. One of Mao’s generals said: “To hook a big fish, you must first let the fish
taste your bait.” The International Longshoreman’s Union held a work stoppage to
protest MacArthur’s dismissal. When MacArthur arrived at the San Francisco airport,
half a million people lined the streets from the airport to the city to cheer the returning
hero. Seven million people turned out for a ticker tape parade in MacArthur’s honor in
New York City. Gallup polls showed that 66% of the nation opposed MacArthur’s firing.
Republicans invited MacArthur to address a joint session of Congress. Many called for
Truman’s impeachment. The 1952 presidential election ended the Democrat’s 20 year
Washington Post and New York Times endorsed Eisenhower. The Atcheson-Lilienthal
Report stated that atomic energy should be under the control of an international authority-
which would include the Soviet Union. Truman cooperated with the Soviets at the
Nuremberg Trials, white-washing their joint aggression with Hitler under the Nazi-Soviet
Pact. Truman looked the other way when the Soviet Union murdered three million
Russian prisoners of war returned home by the Allies. On his watch, the Soviet Army
consolidated its control over nine countries, China became a Communist dictatorship,
and tens of millions of people were murdered under Communist tyrannies. Truman
defended Communist spy Alger Hiss as a patriot who was framed by Republicans,
and he tried to indict Whittaker Chambers for perjury. He refused to remove members of
his administration identified to him by J.Edgar Hoover and others as Communist agents,
including Harry Dexter White, whom Truman appointed top U.S. representative of the
IMF. Among the Soviet spies advising Truman on China was Frank Coe, who refused
to answer the question: “ Are you a Soviet agent, Mr. Coe?” Soon thereafter, Coe fled
to Communist China, where he became a top policy-maker to Mao tse-Tung, helping the
Chinese murder tens of millions of their own people. Truman was considered such a
dupe of the Communists that the Army refused to tell him about the Verona project.
Under President Woodrow Wilson (1913-1921), the October Revolution
brought the Communists to power in Russia. The Soviet Union quickly seized Armenia,
Azerbaijan, and Georgia and starved about five million to death.
Under President Calvin Coolidge (1923-1929), the Soviets added
Mongolia, Turkmenia, Uzbekistan, Tajikstan, and Kirgizia to their empire.
Under President Herbert Hoover (1929-1933), the Soviets starved
another five to fifteen million people within the Soviet Republic (leading Lady Astor to
ask Stalin in 1931, “When are you going to stop killing people?”
In his first diplomatic act of office, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt
(1933-1945) officially recognized the Soviet Union. He chummed around with Joseph
Stalin, calling him “Uncle Joe”. With Stalin’s spy agent at his side, Roosevelt sold out
Eastern Europe at Yalta and promised Stalin three votes in the U.N. General Assembly,
plus the right to name the No. 2 U.N. official. On Roosevelt’s watch, the Soviet’s took
eastern Poland, Moldavia, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and Albania. “Uncle Joe”
murdered an estimated twelve to twenty million people, and forced at least ten
million into slave labor.
Under President Truman (1945-1951), we lost China. On his watch,
the Soviets consolidated their control over Poland, Czechoslavakia, Hungary, Romania,
Bulgaria, eastern Germany to the Elbe River, Yugoslavia, and North Korea to the 38th
parallel. He started the Korean War when the Soviet-backed North Koreans attacked
South Korea. Stalin had nearly 100 million people under his rule.
Under President John F. Kennedy (1961-1963), the U.S. was humiliated
in the Bay of Pigs incident, lost a standoff with the Soviet Union, resulting in U.S.
missiles being pulled out of Turkey, and began the Vietnam war to ill effect. The
Soviet Union detonated a fifty-eight megaton thermonuclear device-the largest man-made
explosion in history. East Germany erected the Berlin Wall.
Under Lyndon B. Johnson, (1963-1969), Communist regimes were
established in South Yemen and Congo-Brazzaville. China exploded its first hydrogen
bomb.
Under President Richard Nixon (1969-1974), a Marxist regime was
established in Benin. He provided serious resistance to Communist advances in South
Vietnam-until Watergate allowed the Democrats to abandon Vietnam.
Under President Gerald Ford (1974-1977), the Congress empowered by
Watergate turned its back on our allies in Southeast Asia. South Vietnam, Cambodia,
and Laos fell to Communism. Communist regimes were established in Guinea-
Bissau, Ethiopia, Angola, and Mozambique. In Cambodia, Khmer Rouge leader
Pol Pot murdered between one million and four million out of a population of seven
million.
Under President Jimmy Carter (1977-1981), Soviet-backed Marxists came
to power in Nicaragua, the Seychelles, and Granada. The Soviet Army invaded
Afghanistan. Carter gave a speech on May 22, 1977, exhorting Americans to abandon
their “inordinate fear of Communism”. Days later Cuba dispatched a military force to
Ethiopia.
Under President Ronald Reagan (1981-1989), for the first time since the
Russian Revolution, Communist countries began to become free. He invaded Granada.
In May 1982, Reagan signed a secret order, National Security Decision Directive 32,
to destabilize the Communist regime in Poland. Reagan imposed a trade embargo on
Russian goods. He deregulated oil and slashed the Carter-era inflation rate from 10.4%
in 1980 to 4.2% in 1988. On October 13, 1986, Reagan refused to accede to Mikhail
Gorbachev’s demand that the United States abandon the Strategic Defense Initiative.
In 1989, the Soviets pulled their troops out of Afghanistan. On, Nov. 9, 1989, the Berlin
Wall came down. On Dec. 26, 1991, the USSR was formally dissolved.
President Roosevelt started covert surveillance in the Oval Office, building
a secret room off the office where stenographers would transcribe all his conversations.
He engaged in surveillance, even listening in on his wife in her hotel room. FDR created
his own intelligence unit responsible only to himself, with a staff of eleven and financed
by State Department “Special Emergency Money.” He tapped the phones of unfriendly
members of the press as well as political opponents, such as John Lewis of the United
Mine Workers.
President Johnson used surveillance using “secret government files, the
Internal Revenue Service and other executive devices to protect himself against exposure
in the Billy Baker scandal of 1963. Johnson bugged Barry Goldwater in ’64. NBC
TV bugged the Democratic Party headquarters in ’68. President Johnson’s bribe taking
as vice president was hidden from the public.
