    First of all a big Salute to the Iranian Freedom Seekers GOD BLESS YOU . We are watching your heroic work in the streets of Teheran , you guys are fighting against a giant evil , also it's a sad thing for us to watch you being murdered cowardly .
    This Iranian regime funds all terrorist groups in the world , specially hezbollah & hamas , once this evil regime is over thrown , hezbollah & hamas wont get their cash $$$$$$$$$$$$ anymore & this will be a great news to the entire world in the fight against terrorism , this is a big chance to get rid of this evil regime & the US should react .
    I'm not saying that we have to send our troops there & start a war but our government should show more support to these Heroic Freedom Seekers .
    Until now Mr Obama is taking a long nap , we should wake him up , even the French President yes the French President Sarkozy said " Iran with a Nuclear power is unacceptable & that President Obama's reaction about the Iranian crisis is naive & immature "

  2. obama is missing a chance to end the iran problem once and for all. There is finally a chance for iran to implode on itself and form a new goverment, one that might show us some support if we helped them. (But nooooooo! we cant have the dictater angry at us he might not wanna talk to us) well we wont have to talk to him if hes out of power now will we!? Obama spineless policy once again lets a problem go

    OBAMA

    Only cracks down on conservative Americans- North Korea can nuke us if they want to.

    Believes that OUR money is the cure for anything and everything- hands it out by the bushel as he prints more every day…inflation, anyone??

    Always takes every opportunity to make friends with dictators, terrorists, tax-evaders, and radicals while dissing the once-friends of the United States.

    Making his own shadow government and private military force, both of which will report directly to him.

    Acorn is coming soon to your house to perform the census for Obama. Don’t be concerned that they are under indictment in several states….Obama isn’t worried about it, so why should YOU be??

  5. DonBCG says:

    I suggest prior to becoming empathetic to the plight of the iranian people, you read all the history of the country. They are not a people who reflect democracy. Nor will they ever reflect it. They believe in pure and simple Sharia Law.

    Second, having Achmedenjad(?) stay president helps us rather than hurts us. The other guy believes the same thing and would carry out the same kill America agenda, but he would do it so you felt good about it. Much the same way BHO does to us. He started their nuclear program.

    Lastly, BHO is doing the right thing. It's their problem. Getting involved only shows we care less what other countries want and only taking over the world. We are right but we not have the right to infringe on their political system regardless of whether we like it or not. Bottom line.

  6. RageforOrder says:

    Almost all the news is on Iran.The truth is I don't care about Iran, I care about my own country.Iran is not our problem and we should stay out of it.I wish we would learn from our mistakes,such as supporting Fidel Castro and Saddam Hussein when they were rising to overthrow their govt.I fear that all this news coverage of Iran will distract us from the more important problems that are facing our country.Problems such as the national debt,govt. takeovers,solcial ists policies,socialized healthcare………..ect. that will destroy us if they are not solved in time.

  7. Democracy isn't working in middle east !!!

    • DMN says:

      Obama is shutting down our rights as we're watching what's happening in Iran. We'll be in their position if he has his way.

  8. OldMarine says:

    Hey 912ers, I've been hearing/reading that people want to do something, well here goes idea. Let's help a conservative. There are 661,235 member of 912, I'm sure everyone can spare a dollar, some maybe more, well its time to put up or shut up.
    "ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin says her political enemies are abusing state law with a flurry of frivolous ethics complaints against her, putting her more than $500,000 in legal debt."
    Let's all send a dollar to Gov. Palin with a note, just saying "We just want to help.", And sign it a 912er
    This will help her, and at the same time send a message, that we can be a force to "bargin" with and not just a fad of hot winded "racists".

  9. Dustyluv says:

    It's coming here….The exact same thing…Because we have a man who is corrupt and still pushing just like the Mullahs did to the Iranians…Soon enough it all explodes….

  10. detestObama says:

    The Iranians are a proud people, who want freedom from a dictatorship that are putting them in a hard position, because Ahmadinejad wants to destroy Isreal from the map of the world, and ther are many countries that will respond with power against Iran, to destroy Iran! The average Iranian person don't want that!

    I believe that the Iranian protesters are extremely courageous. We should all take note and let them inspire us to take full advantage of the rights we have to STAND UP in this country!

  13. kjdent says:

    The Black Panthers charges were dismissed from the last election and now we have more ACORN involvement, so I agree with you Jerseygal.

    • Jerseygal says:

      Thanks – good time to reminds us all of that one! BH0 is verrrry slippery – and his tentacles are everywhere.

      • DMN says:

        Who is looking out for the American people? It seems like we have a totally corrupt government that is too busy stealing our money to keep an eye on what Obama is doing. The guy doesn't even have a valid birth certificate, for Heaven's sake. Republicans need to wake up…or some honest ones need to crawl out of the woodwork….before Obama takes away too much more of all of our power.

  14. NancyNurse says:

    I never thought we would see the fall of the Berlin Wall, either, but we did.

  15. OldMarine says:

    I caught a news report that McCain is critizing BH0 on his lack of response to the Iranian /Acorn mess. Gee, a little late there Senator McCain, why didn't you critize BH0 during the campaig, when it may have done some good for America. NO, you wanted to play "fair", while your opponet didn't. Now, that you see what your lackluster campaign did to America, you have the nerve to critize the great one. I just can't figure out why BH0 doesn't just wave his hand, declare peace in the Iran or is he afraid that his world approval rating, particularly in the middle east, will fall, or is he afraid that he'll have to go back to the mideast on another apology tour, and after things settle down, apologize for America being arrogant.Or does he think, by opening his pie hole, that he might be considered arrogant. That will ruin the front you're putting up won'y it.

    • DMN says:

      I still think McCain lost the election on purpose….that the powers-that-be told him to lose. Why else was he so pathetic during the campaign. He was irritated when Palin got people energized during the campaign. The whole election was fishy. I no longer trust McCain.

      • I just chalked it up to his age, Just didn’t have the energy that is required. Lets face it he is dull for the most part, what make me mad was there where better men on the sidelines.

  16. RNHunter says:

    A difficult situation. I believe I have heard for some time that some of the youth in Iran are against their own government and actually pro US. And I imagine that much of that came out in this election, where the results were announced so quickly that it sure did seem like a rigged election. We in the US stay up all night before we get good results. The question as always with Iran is how does one deal with a bad ruling body without alienating the youth and the pro US people who are there. I also do agree with some of the comments listed here that we Americans can learn from the Iranian people. They are risking their lives to protest. We should be willing to protest here in the US against things we do not like from our government, and we have a safer situation than they do in Iran.

  17. Leatha says:

    There are some significant parallels we all need to be paying attention to. President Obama's czars answer to no one and are chosen only by him. Just as Iran has this hidden power and a public persona, we are entering that phase as more and more power is being given to czars and the Federal Reserve. There is no transparency in any of their actions.

    I have a thought that I'd like some of you to consider. Why don't we write our Congress men and women to ask why they are allowing this imbalance in our three branches of government? I'd especially like to have a reporter ask this question to the Speaker of the House and the Majority leader in the Senate at one of their press conferences. Using the words "power grab" will turn them off, but a legitimate question about the shift in power and increasingly less oversight available that is built into our constitution might work. If you have a democrat in office, remind them that these changes will probably not change once they lose power. Are they willing to work under these conditions when the national sleeping giant wakes and votes incumbents out?

  18. bunnyma5 says:

    Does any one else see similarities between Iran's elite Basiji, part of their Revolutionary Guard, and the separate militia Obama wants to establish here? That, and trying to block second amendment rights would leave us just as defenseless as the Iranis today…..scary…..

    • Kontora says:

      To be fair the tea baggers left the door open to made fun of with their sill get ups. If they wanted a real Tea Party why didn't dress up as Indians?

    • cindyk says:

      I know that the freedom to bear arms is what keep people safe from an oppressive Government. If the Government ever takes away your right to bear arms, …….they will not stop with that.

    • scorpion says:

      yes I do. I wonder what it will take to open the peoples eyes in this country to what kind of president we have. He's not for peoples freedoms. I don't hear him in the news supporting the protestors in Iran!

    • DMN says:

      Once Obama completes his shadow government with his czars and completes his well-funded private military force, we are ALL in big trouble.

  19. TXNSarge says:

    President Bush was far from the dictator that the current Administration is while talking over the banking system, auto industry (firing a CEO), appointing numerous czars not answerable to the people, and now looking for ways to ruin our health care system. Liberals just don't get it. They blame Bush for everything not looking as to why things he did were done that way. He should have been a better communicator. But that's history folks. As for the economy being in the shape it was when our Dear Leader was elected, let's remember that the Democrats were voted into the majority two years prior. And who was it who told banks to loan money to people who couldn't afford it? The Feds, and who was watching the "store"? Chris Dodd and Barney Frank. Hey libs, keep blaming Bush for alll your woes. But let me know how that HOPE and CHANGE is going?

    This is a response to Kontora, who called Bush a dictator.

    • jeananne says:

      NICE JOB TXNSarge! where were you at lunch when my kids were here celebrating Father's Day and oozing over Obama while bashing Bush. I wanted to call in intervention, to de-program my kids and my grandchildren. I actually felt my beloved U.S.A. slipping away. I had to get to my 912 blogsite to calm down.

      • Jerseygal says:

        jeananne, please consider giving each one of your kids a copy of Mark Levin's 'Liberty and Tyranny,' and ask them to read it – (and read it yourself if you have not already) It will give you incredible confidence to defend conservatism and oppose BH0's agenda.

      • DMN says:

        My family is totally anti-Obama. I make a point of letting my kids know what he's up to every single day AND we watch FOX news more often than any other news program. I'm still working on some of my friends…many have converted since Obama began his talk of huge new taxes…but I'm staying on the job until everyone I know has taken notice of what Obama's up to.

  21. Kontora says:

    I compare this Iranian struggle to Americans too almost.

    Americans were fed up with the dictator Bush and rised up to vote against that party in power. Good job, but the Iranians have to do it on their own.

    • Neil_J says:

      Don't you mean Dictator Obama, and the Tea Party movement?
      Need to keep the demonstrations peaceful, and force the hand of the other side!

    • fande3rls says:

      kontora ,BUsh was no dictator , the real problem is if you would open your eyes is Obama and both parties , BUSH made mistakes granted, but that does not make him a dictator , HE pulled two terms in office , look south at venezuela . now he is an S O B dictator

      • 1776time says:

        I agree. I was not a Bush fan even though I voted for him, ( lack of no one else good to vote for ), but Obama has done more damage to our Country in five short months than any other president has done over a period of years. Not only economically, with the death to capitalism, and government takeovers, but by disgracing our Country by acting as old friends to ruthless dictators, who hate the US, and making us appear less than the super power that we use to really be. I don't believe other countries see us as a force to be reckened with anymore. I believe they see us as a lame, scared rollover country, thanks to Obama. Wait until he he is finished FORCING his solcia-ist heath care program on us.

    • r3claim3r says:

      I don't think Bush was a dictator either, but he catered to liberals too much For the most part, except for the war against terror, he did too little and too late. He waited until gas prices topped $4 a gallon before he called for an end to the bans on offshore drilling. And it was him that first started with the bailouts. Unacceptable from where I stand.

      He did allow for free speech, even as protesters tried to undermine the war effort emboldening our enemies. But even his administration didn't label these anti-war protesters as potential terrorists.

      When the DHS now considers tea-party goers as potential terrorists, we have to ask, "Whose side are they on?" I pray that this situation we have in America can be resolved peacefully, if at all possible.

      Ultimately, however, there is one key difference between the people of Iran and the American people–of which some might find disconcerting: we still have guns! Real guns! And I ain't giving up mine!

    • OldMarine says:

      Its better for you to keep your mouth closed and let people think you a fool, then post something and prove it.
      "Dictator" is generally used to describe a leader who holds and/or abuses an extraordinary amount of personal power, especially the power to make laws without effective restraint by a legislative assembly. Gee, I don't believe Pres Bush did this, but I believe that BH0 is. Where in the Constitution does it give the President the right to fire a CEO of a company, Where in the Constitution does it give the President the right to have 16(?) commissars, without Senate approval. Where in the Constitution does it give the President the right to say what a CEO of a company can earn? And for the second part, there is is no restraint from the legislative assembly is there.

I did agree with everything Pres.

    • NancyNurse says:

      As a matter of fact, I think Bush's policies and interventions have sown the seeds of revolution in Iran toward freedom and the WEST. The people of Iran know that Obama is a stooge and very unlikely to help them have long, free, and prosperous lives. The Mullahs want constant jihad and war and their own people are sick of watching the world pass them by as a bunch of trouble makers. Do we dare dream that peace can come to the Middle East? Do we dare hope that they have grown impatient—they know that the Middle East cannot find peaceful solutions in the guise of charlatans like Jimmy Carter and Arafat. They know that the Supreme leaders will be in a nice cozy bunker while the sand is made into glass in their own country as the price of jihad. They saw what happened in Iraq, what tremendous strides toward autonomy and a much easier existence Iraq has formed since force was used.
      The Busy plan to interject freedom into the area is beginning to pay dividends. Hopefully we will all watch a miracle unfold in Iran!
      Can we all imagine a free and safe middle east–without terrorism and with strife at a minimum? A world where the Arab countries can truly thrive and cooperate with the rest of the world?
      So be it!!!!

      You don't get it. You probably never will. Reap your desires and NEVER come to me when what you wished for comes true.

  22. Barb66 says:

    I think that ALL Americans should be taking a look at the brave Iranians and take a clue from them. They are fighting for their freedom and we are watching our freedom s being taken away. Learn from them It is worth the fight to keep our freedoms. Hopefully we will wake up.

  23. TheProphet says:

    We should be watching very closely and remembering what it takes for liberty and justice. Something that we have and currently are more than willing to lose.

    It takes people like our founding fathers, it takes people like these courageous individuals over in Iran to remind us that what we have we must fight to protect; if we are not willing to fight for it, then there are those who are more than happy and willing to take it away from us.

    Lets be inspired by what we see people that are no different than us doing, lets remember that it takes a fight, it takes sacrifice, it takes a commitment and yes unfortunately it takes lives in the process. Lets not let those lives go for not.

    As they are tired of the injustice that is going on in their country, we need to be as tired of the injustice that is taking place in ours. We need to be as committed as they are. As they are showing the world they are willing to stand up against their government, we need to show the world we are willing to stand side by side with them and show the world we are willing to take our country back as well.

    Stand up America – it our country not the social-progressives, not the governments. On the Declaration of Independence it says "We The People" not they the government – it's time we took it back as we are watching the Iranian people trying to take theirs back!

  24. pslwd says:

    I admire the people of Iran, they are very brave.

  25. allanhitch says:

    First of all, if the WH decides to aid the protesters, the WH would then be guilty of supporting terrorists (remember, protesters are now low-grade terrorists!)

    Second, are they protesting in favor of democracy? I doubt it. If they were willing to accept the existence of Israel and the legitimacy of a Jew's right to live, that would be a worthy bunch to support. Otherwise, the best one could hope for would be to exploit this as an opportunity to destabilize an enemy.

    With or without the protests, regardless of which "candidate" wins in the end, the political system of Iran and it's hierarchy is still quite stable. This is a despotic Jew-hating anti-freedom theocratic state. Protests about who won the election are nothing more than an illusion of freedom. By allowing this illusion, by allowing the people to think they have some voice in things, ultimately the same power structure will stay intact regardless of who gets the votes.

    I have very serious doubts about whether or not Iran could ever become a benevolent state without the elimination of the entire political hierarchy and a generation of occupation.

    We should learn the lessons of our involvement with Iraq from over the past 30 years or so. It's fine to want to aid in a "democratic" movement towards a benevolent free state, but let's be sure that's what they want before we marry them.

    Whomever you go to bed with tonight, you'll be waking up to in the morning.

    • DMN says:

      Great post, allanhitch, and I totally agree with you. Just because the Iranians don't feel that they had a fair election does NOT in any way make them our friends. They would destroy us if they could.

      • mylodude25 says:

        The only thing I have to question is that there are reports of them saying "Death to the "mullah's name" It seems that they are upset at the theocratic regime as well as that Mousavi lost. If they are wanting to destroy their entire regime(from the Mullah's down) then I say we should show some support.

      • allanhitch says:

        We Americans "WANT" to believe that it's about good-guys vs bad-guys. Unfortunately, some societies don't operate with our values. The elections in Iran are like having to choose between Hitler, and Stalin. (or maybe Democrats and Republicans……???)

        Two destructive choices, competing for the same niche, bringing about the same kind of oppression….?

        Maybe I'm just getting cynical….. but I'd like to see a "Freedom Movement" in my own country before I bother with the notion of someone elses.

        Remember though, if we protest, we're terrorists…..

    I think the comparison between the folks in Iran and the folks here is not lost on Obama. It could happen here if things get much worse here. And I believe they WILL get worse in the next year or so if we don't succeed in voting in a majority in Congress that reflect our conservative values. The only way to stop fascist policies by the Obama Administration in 2010 is to vote congress critters in who will not support Obama's policies. The in 2012 we move to overthrow Obama himself.

  28. Miami_Bob says:

    Lets not forget who these Iranians really are.. No matter who wins the election it will be the same hatred for America and Israel. The supreme terrorist leader is and will always be in charge of Iran. Not the winner of the election. Its hard to have any pity for a country that is supplying road bombs that kill our Brave solders in Iraq.. Too bad Iran don’t have a second amendment in their constitution… That would defiantly be a game changer..

    • Glad to see you get it, Miami_Bob. Good observation.

    • Slowboris2go says:

      Wait a minute. The guy who has been expressing the hatred towards America and Israel is the president ahmod… (it's hard to spell). Well what I am saying is that it is he that makes the choices not the Iranian people and that means that his views could be what his followers think but not necessarily what the majority of the Iranian think including the opposition, right?

      • DMN says:

        Both guys running for office in Iran hate the US. I'm not going to even bother to try to spell their names. The mullahs will tell whoever wins the election what to do. The mullahs are the true rulers of Iran. They have no warm, fuzzy feeling for the US.

    • NancyNurse says:

      Maybe not! I think it depends on how much their religious leaders will call the shots. If they can develop a form of bicameral government with checks and balances and separation of mosque and state in the name of religious tolerance, they may emerge as super powers. If they continue to walk in an arcane sense of religious propriety and without tolerance of others, then perhaps not. I know that the soda bottle has been shaken and the lid has come off. I don't think Iran will ever be the same again, even if extreme military force is used against its own people.

  29. Luteguy says:

    "Press TV [said] the deaths resulted from police clashes with "terrorist groups" in Tehran."

    Looks like Iran is taking its cue from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's playbook: that protests are a form of terrorism.

    • I remember a while back looking into a report from "Press TV", during one of the escalations
      between Israel and Gaza, and after doing just a little bit of research, I found that "Press TV "is

    • I remember a while back looking into a "report" from "Press TV", during one of the escalations
      between Israel and Gaza, and after doing just a little bit of research, I found that "Press TV "is
      IRANIAN GOVERNMENT STATE SPONSORED TV!!!

    May the Iranian people reclaim their country. I hope the oppression they are experiencing fuels their drive for freedom and justice. I hope they can bring this recent fight to fruition and dethrone the current government. May freedom ring.

  33. DMN says:

    Guys, please read SargeE5's post. Those of you who think Iranians are trying to move away from the religious rulers in their country need to think about what will really change after these protests finally end. The leader may (probably won't) change, but everything else will remain the same….including the hatred of the US. Please read his post.

    • NancyNurse says:

      Has SargeE5 been to Iran? His lack of trust is understandable. But I think the Iranian people are sick of their nutty leaders. They are not a bunch of stupid peasants. They are well-educated in many cases and yearn for change (according to those who've spoken out or come to live here). I pray that God's will is done in Iran AND in the USA!

      • DMN says:

        The people in Iran are mad because they voted for the other guy (who also hates the US). How is that in any way showing that Iran's people are pro-American? Also, muslims pretend to be peaceful until they take over power in a country….then things turn bloody if you don't accept their religion as your own. As for SargeE5, ask him yourself whether he's been to Iran. I agree with him completely.

  34. Nomarxism says:

    Let not your heart be troubled. Obama will read something his handlers type into his teleprompter and the Iranian problems and worries will instantly dissolve.

  35. SPOT_OF_TEA says:

    As republicans such as John McCain are out there condemning the Iranian government and demanding the bogus election to be overturned,you just have to know that if the Iranian people are successful in achieving their freedom that a certain American blowhard who is remaining silent now is going to go out there and take the credit for it.

    • DMN says:

      There will be no freedom for the Iranians, regardless of how the election turns out. The true rulers are the Islam leaders.

      • Michael says:

        the Mullahs, they are the "puppet masters." The real sad thing here is when this blows over, are each of these protesters tracked down and killed 1 by 1?

  36. SargeE5 says:

    I don't think that the Iranian people will overthrow their Mullahs. They are really not protesting the control of the Mullahs, or Sharia Law by which they live. They are protesting the corrupt election, and, well they should. We could learn a lesson from the protesters in Iran. But we will not learn anything. No matter which one of those candidates win out in Iran, nothing will really change for the people. If they are Koran believing muslims, the laws will not change, and I really don't think they want them to change. Case in point, we think that Muslims come to this country and the Uk to escape from their oppressive government, they don't. They migrate here to establish Islam as the ruling government in the west. I applaud the protesters in Iran, but I urge you not to be confused about the Muslim agenda in the Western hemisphere. They are here to establish Islam as the ruling order.

    • DMN says:

      I agree with you, SargeE5. The muslims go to countries with the appearance of being meek and mild. They seem harmless and no one minds them. Once there are many muslims in an area, however, they demand changes be made so that they can more easily worship their God. Then they begin to take over areas and run out those who do not share their religion. Their goal is complete control of wherever they happen to move to. In the end, they will cut off the heads of those who do not share their religion. Islam is NOT a peaceful religion, although they pretend to be until they have taken control of an area. The fact that the US is favoring Islam over Christianity is unsettling.

    • Starwings says:

      The election was the catalyst, but it has become much bigger than Mousavi. I do not believe Iranians are taking bullets for more of the same. Women have been on the forefront of this revolution, they are not fighting for the misogyny of Islam.- Pamela Geller 'Atlas Shrugs'

      I hope Pam is right

    • jeananne says:

      Your so correct. We as a country are ready to jump to the humanitarian need always. We as a country have been accused of being the great meddlers who are taking over. We need to STOP! and take care of our own business. Other than the Statue of Liberty, I don't see or feel much gratitude coming from all the countries that we have gone to help defend whatever cause they were fighting for. As far as Obama, well he still is "PRESENT"

      • DMN says:

        It used to be that we knew who our friends and enemies are. Obama has switched that all around and now our friends are now our enemies and our enemies are now our friends. Even WE are now the terrorists! The world has gone insane.

  37. In an effort to honor the hope and courage of the Iranian people, and freedom fighters of all times and places:

    And would I ?
    I, who have sometimes been put off of WORDS by the disapproval of my friends, family, countrymen . . .
    Would I, for these same principles, enter the streets to face violence and perhaps death? Would I wittingly awake, bathe, dress, eat and exit the peace of my house to stand for peace outside of it?
    Would I?
    And what of my children?
    Should I bring them with me to face the bloody glory of inalienable rights?
    Or leave them home, to the unknown of what may become of any of us?
    And isn’t that the larger question anyway?

    And wouldn’t I be the answer?

    Would I?

    Would I give all for the freedom I may not live to see, on the thin hope that someone else would?
    Would I stand for Freedom in order to stand under it, or would I take shelter under my oppressors fist?

    Would I?

    Peace be to Iran.
    To Israel.
    To America.
    And all the world.

    May the love of God fall like rain on all His children, and may He lend His strength to all those who fight the The Good Fight.

  38. SnowDogMom says:

    We see the protest in Iran and the protested here in America that are supporting them. It will not be long before the American people are doing the same to take back their government and Obama is scared to death not knowing how long it will be before we all start to do the same thing. He knows he can't use the force on us for we are still armed.

    • DMN says:

      Don't forget about MARTIAL LAW. UN troops would then take care of the uprising, with our troops sent somewhere else. During martial law, the President rules supreme and does not answer to ANYONE else in the government.

  39. Boopster says:

    The Iranian people have stood up for their freedoms and democracy. They wish to change the power structure of Iran, they refuse to be oppressed by the Ayatollah and the Mullahs.

    The people of Iran have shown they will no longer stand for oppression. Their courage and determination are awe inspiring. They are facing riot police, the Basij Militia the guard and hold steadfast in their protest. Their means of defense their voices. Silenced no longer. Their oppressors are using guns, axes, tear gas, billy clubs, imprisonment cutting off their communication to silence them.

    Two basic rights we have as Americans come to mind here. The first and second amendments.

    Dare I say seeing their neighbor Iraq free of their Dictator and living in a Democracy maybe, helped them in their desire for freedom.

    I stand with the Iranian people.

    • mwb1951 says:

      I'm with you, Boopster. We have to keep the principles of freedom in mind. Free and fair elections are the principle for which the Iranian people are demonstrating. We must support that principle. Once free and fair elections are established, the people can make more changes.

    • beenfield says:

      That would be a great thing to stand with the Iranian people, unfortunately they will change nothing. It isn't an elected official who rules in Iran as we all know. I don't see them going against the Mullahs who preach hate and so they will be left where they started. God Bless those brave people who want some kind of change in their lives, let's pray they don't get the change we got!

      • DMN says:

        You're absolutely correct, beenfield. The mullahs are the rulers of Iran, not any man that the citizens elect. Obama is trying to be an American version of a mullah for us…..his shadow government and private military force are on the way. Then see what difference a figurehead president will make after that.

  40. DonProffitt says:

    While I am encouraged by the fight of the Iranian people, I am saddened that things have gotten violent. My prayers are with them for success, especially those whom are giving their lives for the cause of freedom. Unfortunately I don't see the Mullahs giving up their power without much bloodshed…..so much for thier religion of peace.

    • DMN says:

      Islam is a religion of domination. They only act peaceful until they get enough muslims in an area to try to take it over….then the violence is unbelievable.

      Thank you, I just signed as did my husband and we wrote them a letter saying how disappointed we are in the handling of our issues foreign and domestic since we have one party. They now just shoot off at the mouth, Schumer, Waters, Boxer, Dodd, Frank and the rest of that arrogant crowd, without thinking of the fact that they are our servants not the other way around. The are there to serve at the will of the people. It is the will of the people that they start to hear us and follow our dictates not that of their supreme leader. I wish the mainstream media and the left of Hitler represenatives begin to remember we are also citizens not sheep. We don't lock step down the road with our heads hanging and our mouths taped shut. We will be heard!!!!!

  43. triper57 says:

    It would be nice to see the people of Iran take their country back from the Mullahs. It just shows us that the time to move our country back to the center is now – Before it gets too far to the left to bring back peacefully.

  49. allanhitch says:

    I think they're only pissed off at the Mullah's for the apparent deception pertaining to the election. Have you ever seen a protest where they carried signs that said "STOP TRYING TO ANNIHILATE ISRAEL", or "STOP THREATENING THE WEST" or how about a sign that simply says "STOP KILLING OUR WOMEN"?

    Nahh…. Sorry… I have a hard time believing they could even comprehend how to BENEVOLENTLY govern themselves. Remember what brought this to a head. The election results came in too quickly. Ahmadinejad's opposition, Moussavi, still wants to wipe out Israel, would kill jews if he found them in his country, will still answer to the Mullah's, and started Iran's nuclear research. Nobody protested any of that, or the fact that those two men were the only one's they could vote for.

    It's like booing a magician who blunders a trick. Everyone knows they're being deceived. The audience all knows it's just an illusion. The whole show is all about misdirection and people love to watch and applaud the skill of the magician to misdirect. I feel the same about the protesters in Iran. They know they have nothing resembling freedom, but they've never protested in favor of freedom. They protest only because this time, the magician (The "Supreme Leader") ruined the gag by stepping on one of his own doves.

    This could be an exploitable opportunity, but these protests aren't going to bring about any form of democracy, freedom, or benevolence in their society.

    It's hard for Americans to do, but we need to stop projecting our values and causes on other societies actions. They're "differently" motivated.

    No way will Islam lose control of Iran, but the battle is between a hard line Ahmadinejad, and a more moderate Mousavi! This political fight may turn heads around the world before it is over!
    The Mullah is starting to have a slight problem with Sanjani, and his family, with a Daughter in jail for daring to speak up against the religious leader. This may be the crack in the wall that the dissidents needed! It may not be over yet!

    It keeps the post to the top of the list so others will have a chance to read it.

  58. DMN says:

    I'm thinking it's going to turn extremely bloody before it's all over. Neither Ahmadinejad nor Mousavi likes the US. We're still going to be considered the enemy.

  59. debbie1960 says:

    These two knuckleheads are not even in charge. Check it out for yourself. It is the Ayatollah.

  60. DMN says:

    It all depends on who counts the vote and how they do it. We're in serious danger of having the same election result problems Iran is currently having.

  61. DMN says:

    This might be a GREAT excuse for Obama to move a bunch of muslims to our country to live at our own expense. That way he can move in more citizens to vote for him AND he can further his muslim agenda. Obama LOVES to use our money and he knows the muslims have an agenda to dominate the entire planet and obliterate those who do not accept Islam as their own religion. Since Obama himself is muslim, I'm just waiting to hear how many muslims will be living in our country at our expense.

  62. DMN says:

    What we're seeing in Iran is what is going to happen in our own country. Obama is forming a shadow government with his czars AND is planning to form a private military force that answers only to him. We will not have a voice in our government once Obama is done taking away our rights. WE are being oppressed and I agree with you that we need to take back our country before we cheer for another country's actions…especially for a country that hates the US.

  63. Disturbedsob says:

    Amen!!!!!!!!!!

  64. I think the people of Iran is starting to look around, Iraq is free and the war is winding down, hey they can do what the want go where the want and NO one tells them what to do. I think they may be looking around and see that they are getting left behind.

  65. DMN says:

    I hope you're right, but since their religion is tied in with their government, I don't predict much success for the protesters.

  66. DMN says:

    A large portion of the money that's being thrown around by Obama is unaccounted for. I'd say Obama has LOTS of money with which to pay for whatever he wants. Obama loves terrorists, dictators, and tax cheats; he's very unfriendly to our enemies. I'd say he's up to no good. He's appointing czars that do work formerly done by government officials answering to Congress and the House. These czars will answer only to the president. On top of that, Obama says he wants a well-funded, well-equipped PRIVATE army that will be directly under his control. This is what I mean when I talk about a shadow government and a private army. Obama is setting himself up this way for a reason. Also, If he should declare martial law, he would have complete control of EVERY branch of the government with no input from any other branch. I just don't see how Obama could possibly have our best interests in mind, especially after he's shown his disdain for Americans.

  67. Jerseygal says:

    Thank you for that! Reminds of something my feisty Scottish grandmother once told a snooty neighbor who always made comments about the weather and the 'farmers' being happy with rain. Nana said, "You know, if it weren't for the farmers, the pile you $hlt would be mighty small!"

  70. Jerseygal says:

    Good question – there are a few elected officials in DC, but they are certainly in the minority. I think we will see some really good candidates emerge for 2010. BH0 and thugocracy will try to keep them down, but if they have their facts, some confidence, and clearly state their positions and message, we have a chance.

  71. Jerseygal says:

    I agree. With the speed at which BH0 is changing things, and ACORN's (which they've recently renamed one branch to get some of the heat off) involvement, we are very much in danger of a rigged election of epic proportions!

  72. MikeinIdaho says:

    You are correct. That's why I compared the folks in Iran with us. If there are serious "irregularities" in the 2010 election, i believe we will be in the streets just like Tehran. The difference will be that we have the 2nd Amendment, and they don't. Let's hope it doesn't come to that.
