Who needs enemies when you've got the friends of the Conservative movement?

You think our enemies are bad, huh?

Take a look at our allies now and in recent history instead for a change.

Apartheid Regime (South Africa)
Allied with Jack Abramoff (That's right, Jack Abramoff) in an effort to manipulate lawmakers here in the US
Was a major purchaser of drugs and other illegal substances in order to find the perfect crowd control agent
Conservatives say: ALLY

ARENA Party (El Salvador)
Every election year, prints propaganda saying that if ARENA is ousted from power, the US will start deporting Salvadorans living here
Conservatives say: ALLY

Contras (Nicaragua)
Killed an American humanitarian worker (Ben Linder)
Trafficked cocaine into the US
Conservatives say: ALLY

Pinochet Regime (Chile)
Killed a Chilean activist HERE in the United States (Orlando Letelier)
Trafficked cocaine into the US
American citizen 'disappeared' in Chile near a compound owned by a Nazi who was allied with Pinochet (Boris Weisfeiler)
As a side-note, the Nazi torturer who owned that compound was later convicted on over twenty counts related to pedophilia
Conservatives say: ALLY

When conservatives say "Why does Obama want to talk to our enemies?!", I think they just need to sit down and shut up, because they have no idea of who a friend or an enemy is.

1. Neocons would consider Hitler and Mussolini as staunch allies
You just have to know the neocon mindset.

Communist/socialist/Muslim = enemy
Everyone else = ALLY
