Okay...I thought for sure this was James Carville’s account, but...it isn’t. My first thought was “Egad, what the hell is he going to blather on about.”
Then I thought “There must be something wrong with him. Far too rational, and I agree with too much of it, which never happens.
Then I thought “That can’t be him.”
‘”Then I thought “That can’t be him.”””

It’s definitely not Carville. This ‘Ragin Cagin’ is a true patriot. Read the rest of his comments.
“I’ve been reading the comments saying,
“This isn’t America’s fight” or “The Iranian people must do it alone.”
That stance misses the point entirely.
America has never been just a place.
It has always been an idea.
The idea that liberty and freedom matter.
The idea that tyranny should never be accepted as normal.
If a free nation refuses to stand as a beacon of hope for those living under abject oppression, then our words about freedom mean nothing.
I won’t mince words...
“Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves; defend the rights of the poor and needy.”- Proverbs 31:8–9
The Iranian people are not our enemy... they are human beings who have lived under IslamoNazi tyranny for nearly half a century.
Turning our backs on them does not make us wise... it makes us indifferent... and indifference to oppression is how freedom dies.
America must always be what it has been at its best... a light in the darkness and a voice for those who cannot speak. 🇺🇸”
