Liz Cheney penned a great piece in The Wall Street Journal the other day about Obama’s penchant for rewriting history on his World Apology Tour.
I wrote on this blog previously about his speech in Cairo, which Liz talks about as well, but his latest stop on the World Apology Tour is Moscow, where he rewrites the history of the Cold War: everything from the root causes of the war to the battlegrounds on which the war played out to what finally ended the war. Obama does all this in his now-perfected “apologetic-American” style, heaping more shame and breeding more disrespect for our great country throughout.
Cheney writes:
Mr. Obama’s method for pushing reset around the world is becoming clearer with each foreign trip. He proclaims moral equivalence between the U.S. and our adversaries, he readily accepts a false historical narrative, and he refuses to stand up against anti-American lies. . .

This is an exceptionally well-written piece and I encourage everyone to read it.

I previously posted about the latest rash of scandalous photos coming out of Afghanistan showing U.S. military atrocities under Obama’s command, and wondering if the media would pick up on it the way they did when it was Bush’s army… Well, here’s a twist I wasn’t expecting: yes, one of the U.S. media, Rolling Stone, [...]
Jeffrey Goldberg, a correspondent for the Atlantic, cast a spotlight on yet another disgustingly overt example of pure bias in the mainstream media, particularly at the anti-Semitic Reuters newswire. He points to a Reuters news item which contains the following despicable sentences: Police said it was a “terrorist attack” — Israel’s term for a Palestinian [...]
In the [sparse] reporting of the Palestinians’ massacre of the Fogel family, several newspapers stand out with their distorted sense of “balance”, i.e., where they feel overwhelmingly uncomfortable describing the barbarity of the Palestinians without at least taking a swipe or two at the Israelis, no matter how patently irrelevant or disgustingly disrespectful it comes [...]
