Are we NUTS not taking Kerry to court? What is going on here?
I know Kerry’s very close to a lot of Iranians…his new son-in-law, the son-in-law’s parents of high standing in Iran, etc etc., but THIS?
This is yet another disheartening part of the ‘wonderful’ nuke deal….but, really? We are going easy on IRANIAN VISAS? THAT’s a DEAL?
Help me out here! WHAT??

The chief danger that confronts the coming century will be religion without the Holy Ghost,
Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without repentance, salvation without regeneration,
politics without God, heaven without hell.
William Booth
“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.”
― William Saroyan
The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of the blessings. The inherent blessing of socialism is the equal sharing of misery. -- Winston Churchill
Ignorance is not an opinion, liberals
I believe in Christianity as I believe the sun has risen; not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else. C. S. Lewis
if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

The Obama Administration obviously is promoting the rise of shi’a Islam as part of this administration’s obsession with creating a new world order in the Middle East.

John Kerry . . . faux upper-class twit of the decade. Good grief! Doesn’t this elitist moronic traitor EVER shut up? When the new Webster’s on-Line Collegiate Dictionary comes out, next to the word masochist will be just a picture and the word JO KE. And then, when you go to the word joke, the same picture is there, right?
If ever anyone just didn’t get it, just completely lost touch with the American heartland, just didn’t have a friggin clue why John Wayne war movies are STILL so damned popular, it’s this jerk. In his presidential run, he wanted us to ask permission from the EUNuchs to defend ourselves against a very brutal, fearless, aggressive, radical, fanatic group armed with modern weapons and technology. And now he has fallen back on that same namby-pamby advice, saying, “See? I told you so. Nobody likes us because we’re bullies.”
How much air time and how much newsprint does this anti-American socialist gigolo rate, for Allah’s sake! First he makes false accusations against his brothers-in-arms IN CONGRESSIONAL HEARINGS to promote his political aspirations, and then he belittles and accuses his country of stupidity and illegal warfare ON FOREIGN SOIL for no ostensible reason other than spite born of having lost an election. Apparently he gets his information from The Daily Show and Jimmah’s Middle-East policies and draws his conclusions on an Etch-a-Sketch, which he then manages to drop on his foot.
His lifelong pattern has been self-serving treachery, incredibly unfortunate timing, and unbelievably poor word choices. I can’t decide if his CPU is obsolete, damaged, or running the wrong OS. Maybe all he needs is for Theresa to tighten the bolts in his neck. The only thing I can be sure of is that much of his flawed credibility results from the dreaded Ed Zachary syndrome.
He and his confrere in defeat, Al Bore, make a good pair. One an Inconvenient Boob and the other an Inconvenient Rube. Add to that an inadequate Harry Reid, an incompetent Nancy Pelosi, an illegitimate Hillary Clinton, and an incontinent Jimmy Carter and you have the core of the American Democratic Party. Nous sommes up merde creek, mes amis.

This is what I don’t understand. And maybe my knowledge is limited but… Most dictators that were controlling the region were chiites and terrorism mostly comes from sunnis. I listen to a very secular French Algerian regularly on Islam and he keeps mentioning the threat comes from Sunnis mostly. Yet I keep hearing candidates like Kasic talk about chiism. Something is up and I am starting to believe the chaos over there is created on purpose. For whatever reason.

I hope I’m wrong….but your comment got me thinking about that again.
It IS odd, what you say.

I just listen to Aldo Sterone on Youtube. Too bad his videos are not in English since he lives in London. He’s actually a bit of a supporter of the National Front saying the French are right to be nationalistic and defend their values. Very insightful guy.
Overall I don’t understand why in such little time we got rid of a bunch of dictators and it opened a can of worms that is far more dangerous than what we have. Especially when you welcome 1M refugees as a consequence of it. The last one standing is in Syria. I do not believe we did it to establish democracy over there. Some people may want that but either we are stupid to believe those countries can become Western republics quickly or there’s another agenda. We have people who understand the region in our countries. It’s not as if we have people who are ignorant of the various clans in the Islam world and the fact the chiites and the sunnis hate each other like protestants and catholics a several centuries ago.
I personally think it’s for resources control. The Chinese are making serious moves in Africa. I know they’re pillaging Madagascar for the same reasons for example. I believe chaos is a way to diminish the influence of powerful dictators and states and we can go in there more easily.

FB, if it were for resources control, why didn’t America take any oil money?…which Trump is now bemoaning and asking for. If ANYBODY has a right to (ostensibly) free a people and, for all OUR blood and talent, deserve something in return, I’d have thought that’s it.
What does Aldo STerone think of the United States? You’ve been very critical lately, more than usual, is some of your thinking including much of what you’ve learned from his opinions?
I agree that our people should know about the age-long conflicts between the Shiites and Sunnis….and that toppling all those dictators would open a hornet’s nest; which it did.
Does Sterone think Assad ought to go?

I would have to watch his videos again to know his stance re Assad.
I’m not critical of the US. I’m critical of the political leaders. It’s very different.

Hmmm. I’m not so sure about this one, Z. Remember, the PEOPLE of Iran, not the government, were mostly friendly to Americans. For the most part, they liked us. But like any Muslim country, they need to be vetted to be certain they are only the good ones being allowed in. Therein lies the problem. They use to dress like us, not like typical Arab garb, and women drove cars, etc. I don’t know about today, only that it use to be that way, and I can’t imagine them wanting to return to the old ways if they had a choice. I have a hunch the radicals among them are a lot less than thought.

I don’t care what anybody says, I’ll never believe there were no WMD and I’ve said that here frequently……my husband was very ‘up’ , personally, on Iraq politics/arms sales, etc., and he never believed this.

I wanted to mention I heard Anthony Bourdain, the good cook who has a show on CNN now, talk to an Iranian young man there in Iran who said that he was sad that Americans look at them as the AXIS OF EVIL, and Bourdain, the big LIB, only shook his head sadly, and never bothered to add what I’d have added “Maybe if you stop calling US the GREAT SATAN…?”

I, for the life of me, could never understand how a relatively modern country/society would want to revert back-in-time at the behest of a bearded mad man with a towel wrapped around his head.

Here’s my bottom line: I don’t trust a society that CHOOSES to live as barbarians or feckless politicians known a DemocRATS-PERIOD!
