This is one of those posts that will separate me from the rabid Neo-Conservative right.
The New York Times reports that Iran has rejected the overtures of the Obama Administration.
The reasons were given:
Khamenei enumerated a long list of Iranian grievances against the United States over the past 30 years and said the U.S. was still interfering in Iranian affairs.
He mentioned U.S. sanctions against Iran, U.S. support for Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein during his 1980-88 war against Iran and the downing of an Iranian airliner over the Persian Gulf in 1988.
He also accused the U.S. of provoking ethnic tension in Iran and said Washington’s accusations that Iran is seeking nuclear weapons are a sign of U.S. hostility. Iran says its nuclear program is only for peaceful purposes, like energy production, not for building weapons.
”Have you released Iranian assets? Have you lifted oppressive sanctions? Have you given up mudslinging and making accusations against the great Iranian nation and its officials? Have you given up your unconditional support for the Zionist regime? Even the language remains unchanged,” Khamenei said.
Khamenei, wearing a black turban and dark robes, said America was hated around the world for its arrogance, as the crowd chanted ”Death to America.”
While I will be the first to concede that much of this was done much before Obama’s time. The fact is that the United States has always treated that region as a pawn. A pawn in a game of “The Ends Justify the means.” and we are bearing the fruit of that now.
The Zionist remark can be described as simply this. The United States has never, ever, taken a critical tone with Israel and has mostly always blindly supported Israel’s acts of aggression in the region. All the while condemning anyone’s acts towards Israel. It is that policy that has people like those in Iran saying, “Death to America.”
Anyone that tries to tell you anything other than this, is selling you a line of bullshit.
US forces fought Israel a while back in one of those combat situations that you claim they never had together…
Unless I am wrong.. But I do recall we had a war of sorts with Israel.
Today, I will stand with Israel and would like to see Iran and Iraq gone.
And they can take Syria and Obama and the entire US Democrat Congress with them when they go, wherever they go.
Just my view… But I am an American who will make things happen rather than just sit back and cry about the situation.
I’m not crying about anything, asshole. I just state the damned facts, do with them, what you wish.
Paleo Pat,
I wasn’t saying that YOU in particular were crying about the situation.
From what I have read, you are trying to be part of the cure to the problem, whatever the problem may be from your point of view.
As far as me being an ‘asshole’… If I had to be a body part, the asshole is most likely the most important, because without a place to send out the waste once it’s been processed.. People would die a horrible death and they’s still be full of it.
I am not your enemy!
What I was trying to say it that I am trying to do something that is extremely serious and will solve the economic issues to the best of my ability. I can’t help with Syria’s evils, nor Iran’s evils… Israel has continued to seemingly go out of bounds (in pure defense as I see it since they are re-taking their homelands just as the Serbs were doing).
Yeah.. I know the old “bad bad Zionist” claim.. But these untied States of America has no other allie that is not wacked out of their Jihadist mind in the mid-east. For that, I will not complain when they kill Jihadists and other Islamic scum.
Ever read Ron Paul’s book “Revolution – A Manifesto”?
They don’t hate us for our “Lifestyle”, they hate us because of our interventionist foreign policies of the past. I don’t condone what the Jihadists do. I simply know what truly motivates them.
Well, actually, it is our Foreign policy and it’s their inherent religious design, it is not a religion of peace, but of war.
Sorry I called you a name, I just thought by the tone of the comments, that you were trying to be condescending.
As for Israel and the Jews. I will simply quote from the Holy Bible:
Way I see it, what they did to Christ was inexcusable. Then to add insult to injury, they tried to say that he never even existed! And they want me to kiss their asses?!??! I think not.
Needless to say, God avenged that little situation in Germany in the 1940’s. Not saying it was right, but The Bible DOES say:
Israel has a right to exist, the trouble is, that it is occupied with people who deny the very existence of Jesus Christ. Of whom, the Lord shall avenge on his coming.
…and yes, that includes the Arabs, Muslims, and the Jews who rejected and STILL REJECT Jesus Christ as the Messiah!
This is not hate, but Biblical truth!
Had to make one more comment about what I just typed.
I take back my comments on Islamic scum. many people of Islamic faith are good people and even the Jihadists have their reasons for doing what they do. Usually, they do it once, so they remove themseleves from the equation anyhow.
At least Islam doe snot allow gay marriage or abortion, and I agree with those views.
To each to his own. They’re deceived people, just that simple. See my above message…
I can’t believe my amount of typos! But that’s just me… I don’t type.
We both know that Christ was meant to die exactly how He did, or their would have been no reason for His birth. Right?
The Jews in the day of Christ’s life as a child of man, were not the same Jews of today, and I doubt if the majority of the Jews today are of the same bloodline and fall under the Zionist title. If I recall my biblical passages correctly, the term Jew was substituted when the word imposter was used several times, so it is difficult to say which are Jews and which are imposters unless you can follow the bloodlines.
I like to believe that the Zionists decieved people, while those of Jewish faith (which means those that believe THEIR OWN messiah has not returned for them, yet believe wholeheartedly that Jesus “Yeshuah” was the saviour for those who are not Jews). I have a few friends who claim to be Jewish by bloodline, yet they eat pork and claim Jesus ws just a man… The other Jewish friends are strict Jews and do not eat pork and know that Yeshua “Jesus” was the messiah for non-Jews. That tells me that one group is really more along the lines of the biblical “imposters” while the other few are select Jews who follow their faith.
Israel is made up the same two groups. The American gov’t had always been made of men following the Christian faith and Jewish founded rules of law (ie much like the Ten Commandments) who followed their faith until the 501c3 rules became so entrenched in the church that they had to graduate to being Democrats, Socialists, facade Republicans and Anti-American pieces of crap.. okay, off that subject.
Regardless of these people who are following the wrong path, America needs jobs and the US corporations that were forced to leave the USA for non-union labor and less enviromental restriction (both Democratic lead agendas) in foreign countries need to be replaced with new USA MFG companies. That is what I have been trying to do for the past 20 years…
As far as what you are taking about, I must say, “I have been there and have done that”. Until I realized that is simply another smoke screen to keep us away from what needs to be done. Not knocking your comments or anything and no matter how right you are, IF we are to win this democratic Obamanation (and it is serious) we must create a route out of this mess via the private sector.
Personally, I believe that:
I must inspire the American work(less) force to follow my lead.
I must inspire other free nations the same way.
I must become the next big news source, so that even the idiots following glassy eyed into Obama’s realm will look my way for just a moment.

Google it when you get a chance.. and remember that the “Jews” in Israel are people just like you and I for the most part.
Many leaders in Israel are “imposters” as the scripture refers to them.. But they are no Jihadists who the extreme of the extreme and serve no purpose but to do the work of the ‘other biblical imposters’.
We were never in a war with Israel. However they did attack the USS liberty for no reason and it was covered up. Israel is our biggest threat to security of the USA. Not the Islamics. Israel spies on us, has a connecting to 9/11 and had their citizens in our highest positions. They brag about “owning stupid Americans” and literally have the USA in a choke hold. The founding families of Israel had a working relationship with Hitler and sent 2 million jews to their deaths. A number of Nazis disappeared into Persia at the end of WW2. A number of Israeli families were “forced” to change their Jewish name to another Jewish name. Connecting the dots yet?
Your Opinions and yours alone. I won’t do what I am tempted to. I’ll let others do that. 🙄
I will refrain from arguing until I get my facts in order… I remember back in 92 when this nutcase who claimed to speak to beings from another planet had a series of books called “Phoenix.. something or other”… As long as no one begins quoting this freak, let’s comntinue the dialogue.
I am certain the US and Israel had been at war with each other and it was very brief… Not the Six Day war.. Hmmmm.. let me search this out.
And, no. the “Zionists” do not control some big banker who control the Luminate and etc etc etc bs… So let’s not go there.
Yes, Please. I appreciate it. I’m already on the “he’s an a$$hole list” by many, I don’t need the nutjob classification too.
