A few days after the inauguration, our intelligence agents obtained firm and incontrovertible evidence that the government of Nicaragua was transferring hundreds of tons of Soviet arms from Cuba to rebel groups in El Salvador. Although El Salvador was the immediate target, the evidence showed that the Soviets and Fidel Castro were targeting all of Central America for Communist takeover. El Salvador and Nicaragua were only a down payment. Honduras, Guatemala, and Costa Rica were next, and then would come Mexico.

The plans had been in the archives of Communism for a long time. I had been told Lenin once said, “First, we will take Eastern Europe, then we will organize the hordes of Asia…then we will move on to Latin America; once we have Latin America, we won’t have to take the United States, the last bastion of capitalism, because it will fall into our outstretched hands like overripe fruit.” –Ronald Reagan, An American Life

Following up on my post from last evening, I thought it was important to remind people just who Daniel Ortega is. Daniel Ortega is nothing less than a Marxist who brutalized his own people. If Daniel Ortega had his way, he would have created a second Communist satellite in the Americas; subjecting the Nicaraguan people to the same kind of tyrannical, oppressive regime as Castro’s Cuba.

As leader of the Sandanista rebels, he worked in concert with and drew support from the Soviets and Castro as they looked to spread Communism throughout Latin America and ultimately to America itself.

In An American Life, Reagan describes the barbarism of the Ortega-led Sandanistas.

…the brutal pro-Marxist rebels…were slaughtering innocent peasants, burning and pillaging their crops, destroying electrical power lines, and blowing up dams in their campaign to wrest control of the country… Unable to win the hearts of the people, they were depriving them of food, water, electricity, and the ability to earn a living and feed themselves.

Thankfully, Ronald Reagan understood the Communist threat in Latin America and stopped Ortega by funding the Contra freedom fighters (overcoming opposition from Congressional Democrats, as well as an unsupportive and gullible press at the time, I might add). But make no mistake; this is a man who has no moral standing whatsoever to critize our country in an way, shape or form. And for Obama to sit there and not defend America against the likes of Ortega is beyond deplorable.

President Obama, history does matter…even if it happened when you were in your crib.
