LETTER: Do Iranians want Democracy more?
Published: June 26, 2009
Wow, wouldn’t it be wonderful if the American people showed the same zeal for fair elections as the Iranian people.
I wonder if Mr. Obama would be our president with out the support of a corrupt organization called Acorn?

“Yes, and that cute little Russian gal serving us the Champagne seemed a bit surprised also”
Any chance she was scorpio’s sister?
Nah, she looked normal ... and displayed no hatred towards liberals.
Yes, I won quite a few awards with that photo. It was taken at Walter Reed and originally color which I converted to black and white. It ads more impact. That is a fine example of 1 out of thousands of youngsters I saw losing arms and legs in Iraqui Freedom, getting fitted with there prosthetics while I was getting my own body repaired from injuries that fell apart a decade from the freedom mission. It was not nearly as common during Desert Storm/Gulf War. I wish I could post a photo link here to open up some of the eyes of our members.
“Having you hit the deck when the cork popped did catch me by surprise Ill admit !“

I do believe our Conservative friends are jealous of not being invited along… Good to hear you and your mom had a safe flight home, Navy, and that your closing went off well.
I really enjoyed the photo you e-mailed me. Very powerful. At the risk of getting political; I feel angry seeing photos like that, because is the price our young people pay for the arrogance of people like G.W. Bush, and his enablers, who think war is all glory and adventure just like their video games. But those enablers will never have the courage to go and actually serve our country.
“Thank God Al Gore was not in the White House on 9/11!“
Why do you assume 9/11 would have happened if G.W. Bush had not been given a stolen election, courtesy of his Republican friends on the Supreme Court, and his daddy’s lawyers?
More than likely, President Gore would have paid attention to the intel briefing and taken action; as he did in late 1999 which resulted in stopping the planned “millennium” attacks in Los Angeles and other places on the US west coast.
But, there’s that alternate history thingy again. Liberals live in the real world as it is, as opposed to Conservatives that make up their own reality as they go along.
Yeah Ray, I guess hanging out in California, Californiaized me with the dry weather. I turned into a Californian Wimp. But I enjoy that cool weather in the morning and night here. The old saying. “It’s a dry heat.“
Sorry, that cork sounded like a 50 cal.
“point out one statement provided by pwanon that is fact rather than opinion”
Sure -it is obvious there is no doubt about this one:
“I know you hate when America doesn’t get attacked by terrorists”
Ultra-left liberals like you, Ray, want to see America fail in Iraq and Afghanistan so they can take political advantage of it.
Here is another one:
“North Korea shooting nukes,“
Funny… they weren’t doing so much of it when they knew our President wasn’t a coward… as they do now”
Apeasing deadly enemies in Bill Clinton and especially Jimmy Carter style has worked so “fine” through the years… Right?!
These are animals who are cutting heads while videotaping!
Still some girly men are telling us we should negotiate - which by the way is against international laws.
Thank God Al Gore was not in the White House on 9/11!
Want another one?
“Bad businesses go out of business all the time. Then they’re replaced by better competitors. It’s called capitalism, and it’s been the foundation for the unparalleled success of our economy for 200 years”
Barack Obama is throwing hundreds of billions of tax payers BORROWED money hoping to create some temporary jobs.
Welfare and food stamps would have done just fine for a few months until some more capable company buys Chrysler, GM or any other corporations and opens the new old jobs.
It would have been a lot cheaper than borrowing trillions.
Another one:
“Barry outspending all previous Presidents COMINED… running up more debt than all previous Presidents COMBINED…crushing the U.S. economy with inflation and taxing Americans to the hilt…“
I guess that’s enough - plus you have probably read some FACTS in my previous comment.
You are the one entitled to opinion, Raymonda. Leave the facts to the big boys.
Now, go ahead, twist the facts like 9/11 happened on Bush’s watch” - even though it happened 9 months after Bush took over from Clinton who refused to take action against the growing Al Qaeda threat or at least to hit the camp where bin Laden was at the time and who was more concerned about turning the White House into a playboy mansion than the safety of the American people.
Or call me “hater” or “bigot” for lack of any reasonable argument…
Or tell me to “kick the chessboard and start all over” - which you didn’t come up with in the first place…
As pwanon says “continue with your silliness” - clearly pwanon is too gentle with you…
“Iraq did not have WMD at the time of the Bush Invasion - just like the UN Inspectors said all along.“
In fact, the inspectors said no such thing. And in fact, Saddam kept expelling them and denying them access so that they wouldn’t find the chemical weapons that the U.S., Israeli, British, French, Russian, and Saudi intelligence agencies all said he had.
Those, Ray…are facts. Not delusional bumper sticker slogans, which is pretty much all you have.
“Osama bin Laden is still roaming free.“
Or hiding in a cave because and constantly changing locations, knowing full well that GWB would kill him if he got the chance. As opposed to Billy Jeff, who wouldn’t even take him into custody when he was offered to us.
Again, factual…not delusional.
“September 11, 2001 occurred under the watch of George W. Bush.“
And the vast majority was planned under the watch of Billy Jeff, who single-handedly had reduced our intelligence services to rags, enabling AQ to operate with such impunity around the world and within our borders.
“hence the quagmire there.“
In no way, shape, or form does Iraq resemble a “quagmire.“ I’ve busted that up a million times, but as always, you’re dumb and you just don’t grasp reality.
“The housing market collapsed under his watch.“
Again, engineered by the Democrats, who not only authored this implosion, but are on record vehemently opposing any efforts to prevent this collapse.
“GWB failed to overturn Roe v Wade.“
That’s odd…I didn’t know that he was also a Supreme Court Justice.
“And this final FACT: CSPAN historians ranked GWB as our 36th worst president. Their opinion perhaps,“
And this is my personal favorite. You cite a ridiculous, staticstically insignificant survey as a “fact”, and then admit that it’s “opinion” in the very next sentence.
Sometimes, I feel bad for you when you make it so obvious that you’re just not very smart.
Other times, I relish in it, because I do thoroughly enjoy smacking your pompous a** around on these pages.
Mostly, I just laugh at it though, as you prove how ridiculously obtuse you are with each post.
Shame on me, though…it’s not nice to make fun of the handicapped.
Wow. What a gift, Ray. I’ll tear it to pieces…as usual…when I have a minute.
“It was a great turn on having a toast with the 1985 Krug Champagne.“
Having you hit the deck when the cork popped did catch me by surprise Ill admit !
