There once was a Marx Brothers movie called "Horse Feathers" and in it was contained a skit about today's democrat party. The skit included a song. The lyrics went in part like this:

[WAGSTAFF]
I don't know what they have to say
It makes no difference anyway
Whatever it is, I'm against it
No matter what it is or who commenced it
I'm against it

Your proposition may be good
But let's have one thing understood:
Whatever it is, I'm against it
And even when you've changed it or condensed it
I'm against it

I'm opposed to it
On general principles, I'm opposed to it

This pretty accurately describes today's democrat party. It is said that if Trump were to cure cancer, democrats would cry for cancer. Again, accurate.

democrats don't learn easily. Often they don't learn at all. The truth is, they hate Trump more than they love their own country. They still don't understand Trump and they certainly do not understand the Persian mind.

There is much caterwauling on the left about Trump's decision to terminate Qasem Soleimani. As I have argued, it was long overdue. Nonetheless, democrats are echoing Iranian talking points in condemnation of the action. First, some background.

Soleimani was responsible for 600 dead American soldiers and Marines and cost the limbs of thousands more, but there's more. He was the architect of Iranian policy which included the following.

You will recall that Iran seized two Navy gunboats which had strayed into Iranian waters. Fair enough, but then Iran, in violation of the Geneva Convention, Iran humiliated the detainees and used them for propaganda purposes.

Over the previous six months before that:

-Sealed a nuclear deal with the U.S.

-Kept four Americans in prisons and captivity inside Iran under harsh conditions

-Has maintained its role as the largest state sponsor of terrorism in the world

-Repeatedly violated UN sanctions with a series of missile tests

-Taken captive 10 U.S. Navy sailors for allegedly drifting into their claimed waters

This year

Iran attacks oil tankers

Iran shoots down US drone

Iran attacked Saudi oilfields by proxy

Iran continues call for death to Israel

In response to the elimination of Soleimani Iran says it will abandon its commitment to the 2015 agreement.

Iran officials announced Sunday they will abandon the rogue nation's commitments to the 2015 nuclear deal with world powers after the United States killed one of Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani in an airstrike in Baghdad Friday.

Sunday’s announcement, which represented the clearest nuclear proliferation threat yet made by Iran since President Trump unilaterally withdrew from the accord, came after another Iranian official said it would consider taking even-harsher steps over the killing of Soleimani.

Knock me over with a feather. The Iranians are going to abandon an agreement they've been violating since its inception:

Iran is violating the deal
Iran Violates 2015 Nuclear Deal
Why Iran just violated part of the 2015 nuclear deal
Evidence that Iran Violated the Nuclear Deal Since Day One?
UN reports increasing violations of Iran nuclear deal
Iran Breaches the Nuclear Deal and UN Resolutions for Third Time

They never had any intention of abiding by the deal and only a fool could fail to see that.

House democrats have decided to side with Iran

What was that Beach Boys song? Bomb,Bomb,Bomb - Bomb,Bomb Iran

[Verginius Rufus]

They never had any intention of abiding by the deal and only a fool could fail to see that.

Obama's not a fool. He knew they wouldn't abide by the deal but it didn't matter because he is on their side.
