The Patriot Post® · Russia's 'Pivotal Experiment'

It’s bad enough that the Olympic opening ceremonies in Russia proudly featured the hammer and sickle, but even worse, our own Leftmedia joined in praising Communism. During NBC’s coverage, “Game of Thrones” actor Peter Dinklage waxed eloquent: “The towering presence, the empire that ascended to affirm a colossal footprint. The revolution that birthed one of modern history’s pivotal experiments.” The Bolshevik Revolution resulted in tens of millions of deaths and a nation (not to mention nearly 20 other nations) enslaved to Communism for more than 70 years. That’s not a “pivotal experiment.” Ronald Reagan didn’t stand at the Berlin Wall, erected by the Soviets to keep people in, to tell Mikhail Gorbachev to “tear down this pivotal experiment.” NBC ought to be ashamed.
