Who among us remembers the rotund Nikita Khrushchev from our Cold War days? I know it’s a generational thing. Yet, here was this enemy, sitting in the midst of the enemy’s chamber called the United Nations, making a boast that now seems to be somewhat prophetic yet at the time produced nothing but genuine laughter. I wonder how many of my generation remembers his words? Very close to its fiftieth anniversary date of June 19th, 1962, Khrushchev predicted, “The United States will eventually fly the Communist Red Flag…the American people will hoist it themselves.”

"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the party over to the so-called moderates wouldn't make any sense at all." - Ronald Reagan, Nov. 10, 1964 |
