Reporting for CBS Sunday Morning, correspondent Mark Phillips marked the 20th anniversary of the fall the Berlin Wall by noting the economic difficulty East Germany has faced in the aftermath: “It still isn’t easy for many. East German industry without government subsidy could not compete. The economy shrank by an estimated 50%.” Phillips mourned the loss of state-run industries...
Alan Wolfe is a TNR contributing editor and director of the Boisi Center for Religion and American Public Life at Boston College. Just before the House of Representatives voted on the Stupak Amendment, designed to stop any public funding of insurance plans that cover abortion, the U. S. Conference on Catholic Bishops (USCCB) weighed in with its endorsement. According to The Hill, their action gave...
Democratic Congressman John Conyers, whose councilwoman wife just pleaded guilty to bribery and who represents a Detroit that is now 30% abandoned land, has some advice some advice for President Obama: “The president could take a few pages from Lyndon Johnson’s book… and start knocking heads together.” Conyers is absolutely wrong and mischaracterized President Johnson, who...
From the Christian Science Monitor , " At Berlin Wall Fall Celebration, Old Allies Ask Where is Obama? ": The celebrations of the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall started off well enough – former President George H.W. Bush, ex-Soviet General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev, and former West German Chancellor Helmut Kohl gathered in front of nearly 2,000 dignitaries in Berlin...
As if it was not embarrassing enough Barack Obama does not see the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall as important enough an event to actually show up in germany for the commemoration, he gave a taped address on which he talked about--guess what/-- himself. You see, the fall of the Berlin Wall directly lead to the united states electing a black president. How that happened is just another...
Today is the 20th anniversary of the Berlin Wall coming down, signaling - in effect - the crumbling of the Soviet Empire and the end of the Cold War. It happened on November 9, 1989. The video above is of President Ronald Reagan, on June 12, 1987, making his famous "Tear Down this Wall" Speech at the Brandenburg Gate. Just 2 1/2 years later, it happened! Reagan's policy of strong defense...
"Presidents have long been saluted, but they began returning salutes relatively recently. Ronald Reagan was thought to be the first, in 1981. He had sought advice on the matter from Gen. Robert Barrow, commandant of the Marine Corps. According to John Kline, then Mr. Reagan’s military aide and today a member of Congress from Minnesota, General Barrow told the president that as commander...
Twenty years ago one of the most remarkable events of the 20th century took place. Democracy, liberty, and individual rights triumphed over the forces of tyranny, oppression, and collectivism. It is a tragedy that President Obama has chosen to not attend this great anniversary in Berlin. Ronald Reagan did more than anyone to bring the Cold War to end, not through war or appeasement, but through the...
Well, maybe not yet, not in this world. But twenty years ago tonight, in a city that was divided by a stone wall for over a generation, the world appeared to a jubilant crowd to be on the verge of Valhalla. On that night, the infamous "Berlin Wall" was finally, if somewhat spontaneously, dismantled. To understand the reason for its existence, is to understand history; not just that which...
Do you remember what you were doing when the announcement was made? Put into motion by the great Ronald Reagan..... The wall fell on this day 20 years ago...... [...]
For history buffs, Ronald Reagan enthusiasts and anyone concerned with the concept of freedom, it was a time to celebrate as groups and organizations around the world commemorated on Monday the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. About 250 people gathered in the Ronald Reagan Peace Garden at Eureka College - Reagan's alma mater - for a ceremony and speeches from military dignitaries,...
Interesting fact comparison between president Bush and President in Training Barack HUSSEIN Obama.... American Thinker: "1. President Bush was famous for lacking 'intellectual curiosity,' while President Obama has been called 'the smartest guy ever to become President.' Who reads more books: Bush or Obama? 2. Bush was often considered to be in the grip of Big Oil. In contrast, Obama is a Harvard-educated...
That's right. In a four page report from ABC News titled, "Tens of Thousands Celebrate 20th Anniversary of Berlin Wall's Collapse ," Ronald Reagan is not even mentioned. Not once. And from what I have read, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton didn't mention President Reagan, and neither did President Obama in his taped message. I hope I end up being wrong about that, but I kind of doubt that...
By Nicholas Stix Twenty years ago , East German border guards permitted young East and West Germans to destroy the Berlin Wall. The fall of the “Die Mauer,” simply “the wall,” as every German speaker on either side of it referred to it, announced that the 20th century’s most aggressive, most murderous, imperialist power, the Soviet Empire, was dying, and that East Bloc...
Twenty years ago today. Thank you, Ronald Reagan. I went to Germany in the summer of 2000, and one of the things that struck me was the huge difference between East and West Berlin. Even in 2000, East Berlin was still grey and drab and utilitarian, while West Berlin was a riot of color and creative [...]
