DEMOCRATS PROMOTED FEAR THEN AND NOW(THE TRUTH ABOUT SPUTNIK)

SPUTNIK

IT ALWAYS AMAZES ME HOW HISTORY IS BLOATED WITH HALF TRUTHS ,AND MISREPRESENTATIONS.

If you have many readers,get out the facts. The "Sputnik fear factor" in America ,was started by the Democrats,as a weapon to make political hay. Not much more to say. There was no shaking in the streets.

 I was there. Republican, Eisenhower was in office,and like the Tucson murders,the democrats took advantage of it. To spin hearts and minds.

 Was sputnik a feat? Yes, of course. But it also began the slow decline of the Soviet Union,under
unsustainable debt. And left the country in total disrepair, in the end. 

Again Sarah Palin is "right on" once more !
