“This revolution’s symbolic moment was May Day 1990. Protesters following the tanks, missiles, and troops rumbling across Red Square. One, a bearded Orthodox monk, darted under the reviewing stand where Gorbachev, and other Soviet leaders stood. He thrust a huge crucifix into the air, shouting above the crowd, “Mikhail Sergeyevich! Christ is risen!” Gorbachev turned and walked off the platform.
“Across a continent the signal went. In defiant hope a spell was broken. The lies of decades were exposed. Fear and terror fled. And millions awoke as from a long nightmare. Their waking dream is a world revolution. Almost overnight the western model of economic, political, and social liberty has captured the reformers and given hope to the oppressed. We saw it at Tiananmen Square, where a replica of the Statue of Liberty, an icon of western freedom, became a symbol of Chinese hope. We saw it in Czechoslovakia when a worker stood before a desolate factory and read to a crowd, with tears in his eyes, the American Declaration of Independence.”
Not long after the monk’s words, “Mikhail Sergeyevich! Christ is risen, came the utter collapse of the Soviet Union.
As time would tell, Gorbachev had already laid the plans for his run for the freedom of the same United Sates of American he had so publicly derided. The former leader of the Soviet Union now works and lives in the freedom and security of the San Francisco Presidio. Everyone knows how he works with Maurice Strong on trying to replace the Ten Commandments with the Golden Rules of the Environment, and how Strong partnered up with Obama bagman George Soros on Chinese Chery car production.
The job of reclaiming human lives from Communism must have seemed monumental when the revolution began.
By comparison reclaiming America from the socialism of Barack Hussein Obama will be like a walk in the park.
