If you’re looking for a simple way you can give a small bit of assistance to the Iranian protesters, here’s an idea I’ve seen making its way around Twitter. If you use Twitter, set your location to Tehran & your time zone to GMT +3.30. Iranian security forces are hunting for bloggers using location/timezone searches. [...]
Any chance of someone getting this CNN interview excerpt over to the President? Mohammad: Excuse me, sir. I have a message for the international community. Would you please let me tell it? Roberts: Yes, go ahead. Mohammad: Americans, European Union, international community, this government is not definitely — is definitely not elected by the majority [...]
At some point in the last couple of years, the word “neocon” changed meaning for the left. It used to mean “member of a shadowy Jewish cabal that secretly runs the United States for Jewish purposes *wink wink*“. Now, it just seems to mean any foreign policy the leftist using it doesn’t like. And, oh [...]
I’ve been watching what has been happening to the people of Iran this weekend and it hurts my heart. I get that that tyranny won’t unclench its fist unless it’s forced to do so and that doing so has a dear cost. Freedom certainly is not free; in fact, it is very expensive to attain. [...]
I’m afraid it may be Iran-heavy around here for the next couple of days. I don’t apologize for that, but I’ll understand if you head off for more varied climes for a couple few days. See, freedom is a big deal to me. It is the only thing of value we can pass on to [...]
Here is President Obama’s statement on the ongoing bloody oppression of the Iranian people. PRESIDENT OBAMA: Obviously all of us have been watching the news from Iran. And I want to start off by being very clear that it is up to Iranians to make decisions about who Iran’s leaders will be; that we respect [...]
I’m having a difficult time figuring out how, exactly, the Obama administration figures that exporting Islamic terrorists to the island of Palau is a successful way to fight terrorism. It seems to me that detaining highly-radicalized trained terrorists, fattening them up on halal victuals and giving them top-shelf health care, then turning them loose on [...]
I really, really hope this isn’t happening. …[T]he Obama Justice Department has quietly ordered FBI agents to read Miranda rights to high value detainees captured and held at U.S. detention facilities in Afghanistan, according a senior Republican on the House Intelligence Committee. “The administration has decided to change the focus to law enforcement. Here’s the [...]
Welcome to the “Muslim World”. Let’s pause right there: It’s interesting how easily the words “the Muslim world” roll off the tongues of liberal secular progressives who’d choke on any equivalent reference to “the Christian world.” When such hyper-alert policemen of the perimeter between church and state endorse the former but not the latter, they’re [...]
So much for “smart diplomacy”, unless we’re now defining the term to mean “diplomacy conducted by wealthy campaign contributors instead of experienced diplomats” . I’m not saying here that our President is the first to pay off big contributors with ambassadorships. The practice of quid pro quo has a long and sordid history in government. [...]
