Here's my latest post for NewsReal.
When Iranian lovers of liberty and democracy decided that the mad Mullahs had persecuted, tortured and killed them long enough, and organized protest after protest against their rule, you expected America to come out in support of them. After all, the “land of the free and the home of the brave” has always been an example and inspiration to all those who love freedom.
Sadly, no word of support came from the White House. Instead of praising the brave Iranians protesting against the Islamo-fascist thugs who have oppressed them for three decades already, President Obama produced nothing but the sound of silence. Worse yet, he gave one of his allies, Senator John Kerry, permission to visit Iran next year. This even though such a visit will widely be interpreted as a sign of support for the mad Mullahs and as a very public betrayal of the leaders of the Green Revolution.
Now, some argue that Obama is right to cloud himself in silence because if he speaks out against President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and in favor of (recently deceased) Ayatollah Montazeri’s followers, the latter will be portrayed as puppets of the West and enemies of Iran.
This argument makes little sense. After all, the regime tried to dismiss its opponents as America’s puppets from the very moment they organized their first protest against Ahmadinejad’s election “victory.” Iranians didn’t fall for the propaganda, however. They knew that the resistance had no ties with the West whatsoever and that the Mullahs were lying through their teeth.

Hello fellow Freepers; I have been coming here daily for over a year but have never commented or posted.....The developments in Iran today have moved me greatly. How in the world can America stand and watch as these Iranian people struggle to throw off the chains of tyranny and oppression??? Most of us don’t even know what is going on. For the Obama administration to say NOTHING in support of these souls yearning for freedom can be nothing less than a strong verifying that he shares the Mullahs tyrannical perspective. May The Lord God extend mercy & reveal Himself to those seeking truth & freedom in Iran.
Rise up and throw off the chains of tyranny.....It’s a crying shame that the American gov’t is not cheering them on......
Obama supports oppressive Muslim governments no matter where they are. He will never make a move to help people become free. He in fact will do the opposite as witnessed by Honduras when he tried to re-install a Chavez and Castro backed Marxist over the Honduran Constitution. He even the NY Times and Media call the ousting of the Marxist a ‘coup; when it was nothing of the sort. No Obama will most likely support a real coup in America and that game I wrote about here tells of it. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2415850/posts
“The developments in Iran today have moved me greatly. How in the world can America stand and watch as these Iranian people struggle to throw off the chains of tyranny and oppression???”
That’s such an important question and one I, and many other foreign lovers of freedom, have asked many times in recent months. If only George W. Bush was still president; I may not have agreed with all his policies, but at least he stood firmly with forces for freedom. Unlike his successor who seems to care little for people who want to actually improve their lot in life.
Obozo is still trying to find his pea brain so he can get a thought.
