Pol Pot: Obama’s Role Model??

"Pol Pot began as a meek and mild mannered college professor. He was a rather unassuming man who would never be suspected of harboring such a red monster inside." 





There is an old wise saying that says, “Those who do not learn from the past are condemned to repeat it.” You might not put much faith in old sayings but perhaps America you should put some faith into this particular old saying. Why? Because it is beginning to appear that America is repeating history in many ways and one of those ways has to do with Pol Pot and his reign of terror in Cambodia in the 1970s and 80s.
Pol Pot’s real name was Saloth Sar. He was born in 1925 and died in 1998. He became the Communist Party leader in Cambodia in Southeast Asia. He began his rise to power by forming a “movement” known as the Khmer Rouge. From 1976-79 he was President of Cambodia. During his rule his goal was to “cleanse” Cambodia which resulted in 1.7 to 2.5 MILLION human deaths in Cambodia.
Pol Pot forced people in the cities and towns to go to the countryside to work on State collective farms and on other forced labor State projects. This was part of his plan to “restart” Cambodian society and shape it into the perfect Communist State. His forced labor resulted in many problems including malnutrition and poor medical care. About 21% of Cambodia’s population died as a result of Pol Pot’s rule. These deaths also include the mass executions that were carried out under this Communist dictator.
In the last century Communism took the lives of about 100 MILLION people! Wherever you find Communism you find its murderous head! Communism promises “utopia” but what it actually delivers is something altogether different. Look at the regimes. Look at the USSR, China, Cambodia, Vietnam, Cuba, and many others. NOT even one of these Communist regimes have delivered the promised utopia. Every one of them has delivered human slaughter, poverty, and hopelessness to the masses! Pol Pot’s Communist state in Cambodia was no different.
Pol Pot began as a meek and mild mannered college professor. He was a rather unassuming man who would never be suspected of harboring such a red monster inside. To talk with him was to actually talk with a nice man. Yes, he appeared friendly and nice!
