Other than the obvious (conservatives = stupid and reactionary, progressives = intelligent and mature), what do you think of that!?

[Crazieman]

Not sure if the combined IQ of Salon and Slate would equal a whole number.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Read it. It is very instructive.

This is what academics have been selling to Americans and too many of them believe it.

Note too, his real disdain for Scott Walker.

[Laslo Fripp]

At least the guy is truthful. He wants to see the demise of American exceptionalism.

Where do we find such people with low self esteem?

[Cincinatus' Wife]

That is the Obama Doctrine that he won’t put into words.

[clearcarbon]

"Not sure if the combined IQ of Salon and Slate would equal a whole number."

I wonder what their ratio of editors to keyboard chimps is?

[NonValueAdded]

If you plan to print this, print it on toilet paper. Then it becomes self-cleaning.

“progressives = intelligent and mature”

Having a good sense of humor is a sign of intelligence and maturity but it’s something that liberals are in short supply of these days.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

This man would have us without a way to defend free speech.

Rush had a good bit on John Kerry yesterday:

“....One of the things that we are told to accept and believe every day is the superior intelligence and IQ and competence of everybody on the left. The Democrats are just naturally smarter. They’re more sophisticated. They’re worldly. They are appreciated more by people of the world than these crass Republicans. We’re told to believe that they’re a cut above everybody. “I mean, they are the best and the brightest, and they are the Wizards of Smart.” In fact, John Kerry is the exact opposite. He’s a self-absorbed megalomaniac who hasn’t the ability to know what he doesn’t know.”.....

None of those clowns at Salon have read ‘the document’ either, and yet they can sing its praises. No they can’t. Unless I missed it, the author of this juvenile piece didn’t defend so much as a single line in it. Blind allegiance to the homo 0bama is all they’ve got. Name-calling is their only weapon.

[wastoute]

Talk about stupid. He will certainly see the Potomac run red with blood. Let us hope he makes a vigorous contribution. All that blather and not a word about preventing Iran from getting nuclear weapons. Just how immutable he thinks the deal is. What a moron.

welcome to Wikitravel
Iran
Known as Persia until 1935, Iran became an Islamic republic in 1979 after the ruling Shah was forced into exile. Conservative clerical forces subsequently crushed Westernisation and also any liberal or left-wing influences.

[Berlin_Freeper]

The thumbs up gesture is extremely rude in Iran, roughly equivalent to raising the middle finger in Western countries. If you do hitchhike, do not use a thumbs up signal.

[equaviator]

Yeah, I heard that one too!

[GeronL]

The Iranians are chanting “death to America” and Salon think it is stupid to believe Muslims won’t live up to the deal.

okay....

lol

Delusions are soooooo sweet until the truth of reality hits hard. Then oftentimes its too late. Sweet in the mouth but sour in the belly. Written by a blinded, unwise fool-—no shortage of those.

[maddog55]

Salon is an "it's all about me" publication supported by delusional misguided idiots wearing rose colored glasses.

Photography
There are a lot of military and other sensitive facilities in Iran. Photography near military and other government installations is strictly prohibited. Any transgression may result in detention and serious criminal charges, including espionage, which can carry the death penalty. Do not photograph any military object, jails, harbours, or telecommunication devices, airports or other objects and facilities which you suspect are military in nature. Be aware that this rule is taken very seriously in Iran.
