I'm going to Cambodia from 11/6-21.
To flee the wingnuttery of teaparty morons, you might ask? Well, no. But it will be a relief to escape from the wingnuts' endless blathering about how "the American People have spoken" and "what the American People want." What American People? Those who happen to have voted? The vast majority of them sat this one out!
Well, no. But it will be a relief to escape from the wingnuts' endless blathering about how "the American People have spoken" and "what the American People want." What American People? Those who happen to have voted? The vast majority of them sat this one out!
However, if the barking heads are to be believed, the American People have repudiated the Obama agenda! By default, that must mean they have embraced the Republican agenda. What's that, you ask? I can understand if you missed it. Something so sagaciously proffered by the always spooked-looking Senate Minority Leader, Mitch McConnell, in fact, made very few waves. Here it is: the Republicans' overarching goal is to make Obama a one-term President! Seriously. That's it. Mitch said it and reconfirmed it.
What a pity Mitch and his minions didn't make it over to the raucous Rally to Restore Sanity. I bet he didn't go because he was afraid he would smile, then his face would crack. Or maybe he feared he'd have to ditch his anti-Islam talking points if confronted by the famously peaceful converts, Yusuf (AKA, Cat Stevens) and Kareem Abdul Jabbar who succeeded in enchanting all 250,000 sanity-seekers.
Of course, it simply could be that Mitch is completely comfortable being untethered from reality. How else could he be so confident about what the monolithic American People want? He knows they want the top 1% of income earners to have more tax cuts. He knows they want climate change and its consequences to go on unabated, too. They like driving on unsafe roads and bridges. The American People want everything deregulated so they can be entertained by planes colliding in midair, housing bubbles bursting again and banksters running off with what little money the bottom 99% have left. Above all, the American People like being unemployed.
The Republicans know their duty. Give the American People what they want and let Mitch and his goons take care of what's most important to the future of this country: making sure that Obama is a one-term President.

Despite the wishful thinkings of some on this site..
by Roozbeh_Gilani on Fri Nov 12, 2010 03:28 AM PSTThe Palistinain people's plight or the anti semitism of the opportunistic, false friends of palistinians, let alone the plight of the Iranian political activist being raped and tortured by the islamist regime is the last topic on the mind of the average american voter.
The only time the average american voter might, just might consider thinking about that region of middle east is when the prices at his local circle-K gas pumps hit $5 /gallon.

My guess is the population of the Nuke Iran crowd
by Escape on Thu Nov 11, 2010 07:46 PM PSTand the listening audience of Rush Limbaugh Is larger than the Entire Population of the entire country of Iran.
You and the rest of the Anti American- Pro Terrorism crowd have some real lack of intelligence constantly shooting off your mouth's here online.
You're doing NO FAVORS to your country,your people and your reputation.
If you took the time to know yourself
by Escape on Thu Nov 11, 2010 07:15 PM PSTthen you would know Saddam Hussein funded the terrorist's,trained the terrorists at Salman Pak as well as gave them the passports to enter the usa.How many attacks do you wish for Americans to suffer before you decide war is necessary?
Who cares what you think as I said,your opinion is not the subject or of any value to any American except a few fringe left wing nutters.
Perhaps if you stopped listening to DNC clowns like Jon Stewert and the Whores of Soros you would be in touch with Americans.
And perhaps Americans would give a crap about Iran and the plight of Iranians if it were not for you exiled degenerates like yourself siding with terrorists while residing in the country.
Perhaps 'Neocons' would not rather just bomb you and your country into smithereens and RID YOU FROM THE WORLD if it weren't for your mouth's.

"security of myself and this country is"
and that precisely is my concern as well as I am an Iranian-American and I care deeply about this country. Now you think going and making enemies around the world will keep us safe. I respectfully disagree.
I believe we should fight those who are funding and aiding the enemies of this country and the number aid and fund has been coming from Saudi Arabia.
If you take a bit of time and learn for yourself rather listing to Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh, you will know.

A Humble Proposition!
by G. Rahmanian on Thu Nov 11, 2010 02:20 PM PSTReading this cliche-filled piece by vildemose and the insults that followed, Ithought I should go ahead and propose that if President Obama really wantsto remain in office long-term, then he should declare himself "Valieh Faqih." By doing so, he won't have to go through the same humiliation that heexperienced during the mid-term election and e can stay in office for as long as he likes. He can even get to choose his heir apparent and put an endto all the wasteful elections, forever!!!

by Simorgh5555 on Thu Nov 11, 2010 01:05 PM PSTBravo. If these left wing nutters were to appear on Iranian.com and damn the Sudanese government of Bashir for the slaughter of Africans with the same zeal as they lambast Israel for the treatment of the Palestinians then I can understand where they are coming from. No matter how hard they try and deny it or even admit it to themselves it comes down to one thing: anti-semetism.
Palestinians and Isrealis are not my business
by Escape on Thu Nov 11, 2010 12:50 PM PSTMehrdad,the security of myself and this country is.If only you knew the meaning of that.I don't appreciate you and the other leftwing nutters constantly unappreciatively damning the people who defend this country,and most of all,on Veterans Day.

By comparison, only 10 Republican Senate seats will be in play, most in solidly Republican states. It’s the most lopsided disparity for any party since 1980, when Democrats lost 12 Senate seats.

"Learned that from the mullahs???lol "
by Bavafa on Wed Nov 10, 2010 02:21 PM PSTLets hope they don't learn any thing from the Mullahs or we all will end up in prison.
But I think they have learned it from the American Zionist. You will often see this in their tactic.
And in regards to EU
Well, simply (and this is only my opinion) that no matter how long you live there, you will be a foreigner. I have friends and cousins that live in Germany mostly for 25+ years since I was there and even their kids who were born there are looked at differently.
When I lived there, in Mainz, there was a good deal of prejudice against the Turks even though they were second generation. You see much less of that here, specially in CA or East coast.
On the other hand, I was quit surprised when I was in Berlin a couple of summers ago. It didn't seem as bad or as much but then again I was just a visitor which is different.
Incidentally, New Zealand is just as bad if not worse.

One thing that we ought not to forget is the role of media
by Bavafa on Wed Nov 10, 2010 01:26 PM PSTWith Faux news and others running 24x7 infomercial against Obama and the average Joe who hardly ever question the logic/truth in those "news" it is hardly any surprised to see what we saw.
Another thing that Republicans have mastered very well is to keep it simple and keep repeating it till it becomes the truth.
Vildemose: We love EU, the only issue is that they are far more prejudice to foreigners then America. I lived in Germany for over four years in the 80s and loved every minute of it but that was partly due to free University and being cheap for students I suppose.
