Something never rang true about the apprehension and boarding of two American Naval vessels by the Iranian Navy. Something just didn’t seem right.
These boats were equipped with the kind of space age navigational devices that should have forgone any doubt where they were within a couple of yards.
If one boat became disabled, why didn't the other boat tow it back to safe international waters?
Barring all else, why didn’t the Iranians abide by centuries old maritime tradition to assist a disabled vessel of a nation you're not at war with? We’re not at war with Iran, or are we?
Why did John Kerry make a public statement praising and thanking the Iranians for their humane treatment of our Naval personnel knowing that Iran had boarded our vessel, disarmed the sailors and forced them to kneel with their hands on their heads? Why would he do so after seeing that Iran had photographed these sailors, using the photo as an embarrassing international public relations ploy and showing the world just how spineless the Obama administration is? Just how much humiliation and insult he is willing to take?
Then, during a parade, the Iranians staged a float with Iranians dressed like American sailors on a boat standing in total submission while being laughed at and ridiculed by the people on the street.
This is tantamount to rubbing America's face in a manure pile. It was an attempt to suggest that America is supposedly weak, spineless and totally unable when it comes to protecting itself. It was meant to suggest that America has become a cowering, impotent nation whose president can be pushed around, humiliated, threatened and ridiculed without any threat of retaliation.

Look at the faggot in the White Hut....it explains everything.
Sorry, we are our own worst enemies.
Neither the Iranians or Russians have put us $19 Trillion in debt, have put most common citizens in hock to a Central Bank. They have not bankrupted our local governments or put progressive ideology in charge everywhere. They are not the ones destroying the 2nd amendment, promoting political-correctness, or taking over our educational system.
Well put.
We’ve enjoyed a mixed economy but that wasn’t enough for the “progressives”. More always wants more. We have reached the tipping point of our Republic. How fast will it fall?
Dont’ take my word for it. Just read the “Progressive” posts over there.
Not so much. They see 0 and they know that America voted for him ... twice.
That speaks volumes. It doesn’t speak for all of America, but it does for enough. Sadly.
Yes he does, absolutely.
Thank you, Mr Daniels.
Thanks for the post.
Absolutely. It’s time to consider that perhaps we’re in the end game for the USA. We’re all mostly in agreement here on this site. If you look around at other sites, and you really need to in order to get a sense of what is really going on out there, you can see that many of the people out there are more interested in video games and pornography than they are in anything else.
Free stuff sounds good to them. More free stuff sounds better.
The problems we face today are there because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by those who vote for a living.
Isn't this the main platform of the DNC?
It will get many voters that have been mis-educated in our government schools to vote for more politicians that hate America.
