Move.
I know your pride in your Persian heritage and your language is nothing like the Arabic and Pashto spoken by your neighbors. But I've been to your borders and I know that, albeit a difficult journey, it is possible to get out of your country.
And that, sadly, is the best advice I can offer you.
See, the new America, as envisioned and lead by our President, doesn't support your clamor for democracy and freedom.
It's too difficult.
Instead, he is "encouraged" by the robust debate and is eagerly watching the calls for investigation into election fraud allegations. Poor child, he really thinks there will be investigations. He really thinks there is legitimacy and accountability in your theocratic country.
Is he naive or just willfully ignorant. Or afraid. I wonder.
Former President Bush was billed as pedestrian and small minded with his manechistic vision of the world and rogue regimes. President Obama doesn't like "rogue regimes" or even a war on terror. It's nicer to think of the world as an international, diverse community with continuing operations.
So as you protest in the streets rising your life and putting the lives of your family members at risk, know that the government of America does not, repeat, does not stand with you. Unfortunately.
We are faced with a grave moral decision: solidarity with the 70,000,000+ citizens of Iran who seek freedom and justice or angering the Ayatollahs who run the country and actively seek nuclear weapons. President Obama has shown his desire to side with the latter.
Detente, anyone? It worked so well in the late 70's.
When Lech Walesa organized the Solidarity movement in Poland, he knew that he could count on the freedom loving west in the USA and the UK and the truth loving power of the Polish Pope. What empowered their movement and uprising was truth, and how great to have the truth supported with power.
The people of Iran are protesting right now, fighting for a sliver of truth and freedom. They are being shot at. Their faces are being recorded for future interrogations by the Iranian government. And they protest on. How sad that no one else supports them. The worlds super powers are silent. It is a tragedy.
So, dear people of Iran, I apologize. It is pathetic that our President has been painfully silent and decisively apathetic to your cause. Once American Presidents came to the aid of freedom fighters. Today, we apologize for imposing our values.
As I write this, the South Korean President is in the Oval asking President Obama for a form of guarantee that should Kim Jung Il decide to go nuclear, the USA will support the South in their inevitable war.
The answer to that question is no. Ronald Reagan is dead.

Lefty misspeaking
Hillary Clinton was named after Sir. Edmund Hillary, the first man to climb Mount Everest.
Bill Clinton did not have sex with that woman.
If you know what "is" the definition of "is".
Joe Biden is the only man in the world who knows of TV footage of President Roosevelt addressing the nation after the stock market crashed in 1929. (Many Americans said "who the hell is Franklin Roosevelt and what is a television?".
That's the same Joe Biden who's chopper had to land in the Waziristan region because of gunfire. Or snow. Honestly, does it matter?
Kind of like Hillary's sniper fire in Bosnia. Or was it Kosovo? Eh, who cares.
Hours after winning the election in November, Obama makes a joke about the former first lady: "I didn't want to get into a Nancy Reagan thing about, you know, doing any séances.". That was the first indication that the genius orator was teleprompter dependent.
Add that to the joke about "the special olympics or something" on Leno. Those retards sure are funny. Just ask the President.
That brings us to Mr. Letterman, the funny man who makes $30+ million a year and tells jokes about raping 14 year old girls while calling Alaska's governor a slut. Letterman, like the aforementioned Mensa members, "misspoke".
It happens. I often talk of my muslim faithful until Matt Lauer reminds me I'm a Christian. I too misspeak. In fact last week I went to the Synagogue on Friday night before realizing I was not a Jew. I "mis-prayed".
Like I said, it happens.
I think of Les Moonves, the CBS president who 8 days after the "nappy headed ho's" comment fired Don Imus. Imus initially dismissed the comments as "some idiot comment meant to be amusing". Apparently, they were not.
The next day, the next day, the VERY next day, Imus went on Al Sharpton's radio program "Stirring the Pot with Fat Al" (may not be the official title of the program but I couldn't find it online. Eh, who am I kidding, I didn't even look. I remember Tawana Brawley, Al.) Then Imus went to Rutgers to apologize to the players personally.
Les Moonves still fired Don Imus.
Les, what will you do with David Letterman? Will he be reprimanded? Suspended? Or just... ignored. I'm guessing the latter.
Dave retorts that he wasn't joking about Willow Palin (who is 14). He was joking about Bristol Palin who is 18. See, it's not so bad to make rape jokes about 18 year olds, so stop crying. Baby want a cookie now?
No comments about the Sarah Palin "slut" comments, however. That's fair game. Palin is a Republican.
Dave offers a non-apology. He hems and haws that he misspoke and the joke was in poor taste. And honestly, if you were Dave, would you gave a damn? You hate Sarah Palin (reasons unknown) and you know that no executive in CBS will scold you- so why bother?
Dave- wasn't your son the target of a foiled kidnapping plot a few years ago? Too bad it didn't happen because that would have provided late night comedy with TONS of material. Kidnapping kids is funny stuff, Dave. Like rape.
Les, the clock is ticking. You gave Don 8 days. You've given Dave 2. I'm curious to see what happens over the weekend in CBS. But I'm not holding my breath.
Go Connan.

Three shootings
May 31, 2009
Scott Roeder (allegedly) kills Doctor George Tiller at his church in Kansas.
Google hits on the killer's name: 285,000
Coupled with "right wing": 42,600
June 1, 2009
Abdulhakim Hakim Mujahaid Muhammad (allegedly) kills Private William Long outside a recruiting station in Arkansas.
Google hits on the killer's name: 4070
Coupled with "left wing": 696
June 10, 2009
James von Brunn (allegedly) kills security guard Stephen Johns at the Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC.
Google hits with the killer's name: 33,100
Coupled with "right wing": 9,280
Something is not right. Or fair. Or objective. Just review those numbers again.
There is a deliberate cover-up or selective negligence by the news agencies. How can a domestic terrorist attack on our military go virtually ignored while other, more politically profitable crimes, are reported on the front page.
To be clear- all of these crimes are equally heinous, immoral and vile. All should be equally condemned and measures should be taken to punnish the guilty and ensure repeat crimes do not occur.
But in the words of Rahm Emmanuel, never let a crisis go to waste.
These awful crimes are being exploited by the media, by the left, by the administration to further their political interests. Obama is vehemently pro-abortion. Any chance he has to "criminalize" the pro-life movement, the better.
A case could be made to "criminalize" the pro-peace movement. Cindy Sheehan is as guilty in the death of Private Long as Bill O'Reilly is in the death of George Tiller or Rev. Wright is in the death of Officer Johns. "Dem jews ain't gonna let me talk to Obama" Rev Wright reminds us just a few days ago.
Keep eating the anti-semite sandwich, Revered.
Let's review some things: Letterman, Leno, Stewart, Colbert, 'Lil Bush, SNL, You're Welcome America! with Will Ferrell, Farenheit 9-11, W the movie, et al ALL contributed to the anti-Bush, anti-Republican, partisan angry politics that envelope this nation. Yes, it still envelopes the nation and Obama is only exacerbating it to his advantge (never let a crisis go to waste, right?). Yet how often did the media talk about "left wing" anger and hostility? I can't remember.
The rhetoric coming out of the media these days is comical. Protecting the President and the left and the democrat party, they speak of a "growing trend" of anti-American, anti-Obama, racist behavior. Remember Jeanne Garafolo (who's political credentials include reading from an Aaron Sorkin script on The West Wing) called the Tea Party's "racist". And the CNN reporter who spoke of the tea party's as anti-government? (I wrote about that briefly ).
I don't recall any shock or frustration at the hatred spewed at President Bush. And N.O.W. was virtually silent when Sarah Palin was mocked over and over again. had dave Lettermen made a joke about Sasha Obama as cruel and gross as the joke he made about 14 year old Willow Palin, I bet there would be some reaction from the media. I guess you can make rape jokes about the children of Republicans.
A few years ago, Mrs. Alito left the Senate chamber in tears because of the line of questioning her husband was facing during his confirmation hearings. Yet we are told by the White House to tred lightly on Mrs. Sotomayor because of her hispanic heritage. (BTW- she was born in the Bronx to Puerto Rican parents who were Americans since birth. My mom was born in Brooklyn to immigrant parents who because naturalized Americans. My mom, however, is not a minority. Go figure.)
I apologize- these comments have been a little all over the place. But I think you understand my point. The left uses every moment, every crime, every crisis to improve their image and bash their opponents. They never silenced the 9-11 conspirators, they never apologized for their treatment of our former President, they never distanced themselves from "General Betray-us" and other such attacks. And they never have to. Because we don't make them.
These three shootings are sad commentaries on our life in America. There are crazy people out there from the Unabomber to Richard Reid. How sad that groups use their evil actions to improve their polling numbers and election chances.
