DISQUS

AMERICAblog: Iran reaches out to American conservatives

  • Busboy · 1 year ago
    Chris, the only thing that stands between you and "Sharia Law" are guys and gals like me. We don't have plans to leave. We don't have DADT. We just believe, that when someone like Ahmadinejad says that he will destroy us? That he's not talking out of his ass; and actually will try to accomplish his goal...

    Don't be ignert your whole life, Busboy. I was going to comment, instead of that one, that the wingers secretly love to execute gays. It's really beyond annoying how wingnuts run to gays and say, "See, see, see, see what they do? At least you dont have it bad like that in this country." Give me a fucking break. We gays don't need your protection Busboy or any of you dumbass wingnuts. We've managed this far doing fine without protection from wingnuts. Has anyone ever heard anything more ridiculous. It's also extremely insulting. Why, we should be sooo greatful of the benevolent protection of wingnutia and the religious reich.

    And do you have a fucking link to the president of Iran saying he plans to destoy us??
  • Busboy · 1 year ago
    Oh, yeah, but, not right now. I'll send you some of Mahmood's promises of "death to the Great Satan" , shortly..

    We let the idiot wingers get control of this country and this is what happened. We weren't paying attention, going about our lives and what not while they were secretly plotting. We must never let this happen again. We have a long ways to go to straighten things out. Quite frankly, I'm not sure if that possible anymore. The damage is huge. And I hate it that Obama will certainly be blamed for what's coming from day one. But I plan to continue to fight back and keep an eye out from now on. I was paying attention back in 98 along with John and others. We knew what was happening. But too many liberals didn't understand the alarm we had. I could just see who bush was surrounding himself with, namely, the religious reich, like Falwell and Reed, etc., and his record in Texas. I knew this was going to happen. If bush and darth ever leave office, and I have my concerns, he leaves a horrible legacy. Way to go, wingnuts. You supported the worst most damaging president in US history. That certainly speaks to you as well.

    Iran's semi-official Fars News -- is that like America's semi-official Fox News? Inquiring minds want to know.

    And Busboy: when someone says he wants to do something, I look to see if he has the authority and the ability to do it. Ahmadinejad's position in Iran is more like a minister of domestic affairs. He has no control over the development of nuclear weapons and no warmaking authority. Don't be misled by the title "President" into thinking he has the unrestricted international warmaking powers of a despot like our President Bush.
  • Bush_Bites · 1 year ago
    Yeah, I'm frankly surprised the Wingnuts hate Iran.

    The two have so much in common.

    Then again, they had a lot in common with Saddam too, and they couldn't wait for that war to get started either.

    OT:

    Given that even Bush has talked of a "time horizon," it looks like General Petraus is at the very least being insubordinant.

    The top U.S. military commander in Iraq isn't buying the increasingly popular idea of a publicly stated timetable for American troop withdrawal.

    Gen. David Petraeus, the Iraq commander, said in an interview with McClatchy that the situation in Iraq is too volatile to "project out, and to then try to plant a flag on a particular date."

    Yeah, it appears that Betrayus didn't get Bush's latest gobbledygook memo.
  • Bush_Bites · 1 year ago
    Can't blame him really.

    There's McCain and Bush actling like they work for him, rather than the other way around.

    Now, all of a sudden, he's starting to act like Douglas MacArthur.

    American conservatives better not hope "being a public nuisance while drunk" doesnt become a hanging offense in America, there wont be any left..

    by the way, how funny is it that the news agency is "Fars".. is that Iranian for Fox?
  • Bush_Bites · 1 year ago
    Ah, boy, "public nuisance while drunk" could get me in a lot of trouble too.

    If by "public nuisance," you mean playing punk rock classics on the jukebox at my local dive.

    I want and will have my Ray Charles vision of America back instead of this neocon Orwellian one like "time horizon" one we have now. Mark Levin, the most disgusting and vile necon asshole on wingnut radio alway signs off every Friday with Ray Charles, America the Beautiful. Levin is everything Charles was against.

    Whoops! Gotta scoot for a little rendevous, but couldn't split without updating about my ritual garden. Got it prepared today for the fall planting.

    OT:

    Haters of the mainstream media reheated a bit of conventional wisdom last week.

    Barack Obama, they said, was getting a free ride from those insufferable liberals.

    Such pronouncements, sorry to say, tend to be wrong since they describe a monolithic media that no longer exists. Information today cascades from countless outlets and channels, from the Huffington Post to Politico.com to CBS News and beyond.

    But now there's additional evidence that casts doubt on the bias claims aimed -- with particular venom -- at three broadcast networks.

    The Center for Media and Public Affairs at George Mason University, where researchers have tracked network news content for two decades, found that ABC, NBC and CBS were tougher on Obama than on Republican John McCain during the first six weeks of the general-election campaign.

    You read it right: tougher on the Democrat.

    The Center for Media and Public Affairs at George Mason University better watch out - they'll end up on the Terraist Watch List - can't have the truth - not while fascists are in control.

    As they should be. After all, it will be the Democratic candidate that wins the general election in November.

    Alabama or Texas...somebody will pay for the crime--we don't really care who it is:

    "Execution set for July 31, take action today

    Tommy Arthur is set to be executed July 31 in Alabama, and Gov. Bob Riley (left) has refused repeated requests for DNA testing that could prove Arthur’s innocence or guilt."

    These comments, although entertaining, tend to be a gross exaggeration and oversimplification of "conservative" thought here in the U.S. and in Iran. I suppose this proves that regardless of one's political convictions, or where one stands on the political compass, more often than not we are led blindly by belief and unwilling to concede anything to our supposed opponents. These Iranian Islamo-fascists are nothing like our Christian fundamentalists. There may be some similarities, such as a desire for authoritarian control, but I dare say the number of Christian fundamentalists that wish to execute gays for their perceived trespasses has got to be miniscule.
