Obama, Ortega and Chavez

This weekend, President Obama sat through a diatribe about American imperialism from a dictator, made happy talk with a another who insulted our nation and our president and generally belittled our nation in the eyes of our hemispheric neighbors. An all-around successful weekend for the South American region if you happened to be a crackpot socialist or quasi-communist.

So who are these men that Obama allowed to embarrass our nation? Well, we know all about Chavez--a man who is about to make himself President for Life and has supported terrorists in a neighboring nation who were trying to overthrow their democratically-elected leader. But what about Daniel Ortega?

Ortega has a history as brutal as any despot:

The Sandinistas also institutionalized torture. Political prisoners in jails such as Las Tejas were consistently beaten, deprived of sleep, and given electric shocks (but hey, they didn't waterboard--ed). They were routinely denied food and water and kept in dark cubicles known as chiquitas (little ones), that had a surface area of less than one square meter. These cubicles were too small to sit up in, were completely dark, and had no sanitation and almost no ventilation. Prisoners were also forced to stand for long periods without bending their arms or legs; they were locked into steel boxes exposed to the full force of the tropical sun; their wives and daughters were sexually assaulted in front of them; and some prisoners were mutilated and skinned alive before being executed (again, at least they didn't play Barney music loud--ed).

One Sandinista practice was known as corte de cruz: this was a drawing-and-quartering technique in which the prisoner’s limbs were severed from the body, leaving him to bleed to death. The result of all of these horrifying cruelties was yet another mass exodus from a country enslaved by Communism, with tens of thousands of Nicaraguans escaping and settling in Honduras, Costa Rica, or the United States.

This is the guy Obama allowed to berate us without so much as an "er" or an "uh" or a "senor". Because we deserve to be berated by men such as this who we used our full-force to oust because of just such abuses. But it was done by a republican named Reagan so it was unjust and just another example of our imperialism and oppression of other nations.

We have reached the point where we allow torturous murderers to slam America in front of our president and he says nothing. Ortega could have called us a cabron and Obama would have smiled that idiotic smile and nodded and thanked him afterward.

Alright, I can see making nice with Europe, we'll need them someday. But why should we apologize and be nice with a man who killed tens of thousands? Thank the good Lord that the Soviet Union was destroyed by Reagan because Obama would have given our secrets, weapons and country away to them.
