Infatuation with Evil

I well recall how Daniel Ortega was feted by Democrat politicians and stars when Reagan was President and was attempting to reverse some of the Soviet gains in Latin America (and Afghanistan and sending our proxies to fight Cuban "advisers" in Angola). In Vietnam, Jane Fonda became the most notorious celebrity to embrace the enemies of her own country and hearten the onslaught of evil by the Communists in Southeast Asia who would go on to murder millions. American entertainers would have never cleaved onto Hitler during World War II but since the sixties, our celebrities and luminaries of stage and screen have praised leftist thug leaders and revolutionaries the world over. Democrats in elected office have made or attempted common cause with implacable enemies as Teddy Kennedy made outreach to the Soviet Union to resist Ronald Reagan. Our universities are rife with open Marxist professors and administrators while conservatives on campus often have to hide their beliefs. It is little wonder that the Oliver Stones, Michael Moores, and Sean Penns of the world have pushed for Obama and Obamaism. They and their fellow travelers only think Obama has not taken us far enough to the left with sufficient haste.
