This would have been a great moment in history, if we didn't have a POTUS who thinks he can change dictators, autocrats and authoritarians by dazzling them with his self perceived brilliance as one of them.
....so much for his “apology tour:”????
Meanwhile, we got 40 year old punks skateboarding down the hallways of The White House.
Yada, yada about freedom for inanians. How do they feel about the existence of Israel. That’s what I want to axe these expatriates.
The CIA and Mossad need to do whatever they possibly can to help ovethrow the Islamic regime, and replace it with a more Turkey-like secular state.
Sadly, as we sit here reading this, hoping for the best, wishing these people would want the “live and let live” attitude toward Israel. As we hope Obama will finally start acting like a CIC, knowing full well he won’t.
Something is going by the way side.
Our own people fought like this some 230 years ago. They died all over this land in battles with the British to become free.
The legacy is now that we as an nation (FReepers excluded) sit on our collective a55e5 watching television eating popcorn and wondering what our government is going to do for us next in the form of “gimmies”
Again, I am not talking about Freepers, but I am talking about the Peggy Josephs of the world. see

So many people died so that we could have the freedom to vote as we wanted to pray, be represented, live and go as we chose, to be what we wanted and to have the freedom to earn our way through life and enjoy the fruit of our labor.
All to be tossed away by a generation of people who want everything handed to them without breaking a sweat.
No, liberty is not free. We paid for it time and time again, not just in our country but all over the world for people we don’t even know so that they too could have the freedom that we enjoyed.
And it seems that this popcorn eating, channel changing gimmie gimmie gimmie generation of freeloaders that is more interested in “dancing with the stars” than the total corruption of our Republic will make those sacrifices all for nothing.
Somewhere, somehow we lost our way. We went from a country who valued our freedom to make ourselves better to “hope and change” also known as “I won’t have to worry about putting gas in my car. I won’t have to worry about paying my mortgage. You know, if I help him, he’s gonna help me.”
Somewhere along the road we got deluded into what is really important and that has left us in the hands of a morally bankrupt despot who is more than happy to promise everything, smile, lie and take it all away.
I see our Republic on life support and only wish people understood how much was given up. How desperately people want freedom like us. They are dying in the streets of Iran right now. It wouldn’t take much to see how important freedom is, but Dancing with the stars is on right now and the popcorn is burning.
Ladies and gentlemen of FR, pray to god tonight for the freedom of those who deserve it. More importantly, pray for us not to suffer the justified wrath of god for having lost sight of what he gave us. And the forgiveness of our forefathers who died to ensure it for us.
It’s after 10:00am in Iran... Has anyone heard any news today? There were suppose to be massive marches today...
(A small part of) Bellevue, WA last Sunday, ca 2 PM PDT....the Iranian-American community has also taken to the streets in major U.S. cities, including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Boston and Washington. Sheida Jafari was among several hundred Iranian-Americans who gathered last week in front of a Washington office that houses the Iranian Interests Section to protest what they viewed as rigged election results that gave a landslide victory to incumbent President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad over challenger Mir Hossein Mousavi.
