Wasting Time With Alex

Oh no you don’t!

I think we sane people need to get ahead of the latest liberal myth – another rewrite of history – and squash it fast. What myth am I talking about? Well the one that the libs and the WH are now touting, after they horribly bungled and totally mangled their response to the current revolution in Iran. The left is already claiming that the revolution in Iran is either indirectly, and very likely, directly tied to Obama and his election. The meme, as a couple of libs I heard spreading this dastardly cover-up are preaching, is that Obama’s election was but 6 months ago and we are already seeing more resistance in Iran than ever in the past 30 years. When asked for clarification the roundabout explanation was that the election of Obama and his new direction for the US made the Iranians decide it was time for a change. Obama performs another miracle!

Of course I pointed out the sheer stupidity of this kind of thinking. The left actually wants to make people believe that we have the Iranian people risking their lives and standing up against their brutal dictators because after 8 years of that warmongering criminal Bush talking about “destroying” Iran, Obama now talks peace. Let me break this down for you so you can see how stupid this sounds. The mullahs tell the world they are building a bomb and plan to use it (on Israel and then the great Satan). The US, nay the world, tells them to rethink that. Sanctions and much useless talking follow, as the Iranian leadership hunkers down, ignores the impact on their people of the sanctions, and push on with their plans to go nuclear. In the mean time Iran’s two neighbors are cleaned up, and the Iranian people get to watch both the Iraqis and the Afghanis democratically elect their leaders, because of evil warmongering Bush-McHitler. While this is going on, the thugs in charge of Iran refuse to change course, putting the Iranian people at risk of a massive strike campaign, or even a possible nuclear retaliatory strike, because of their pursuit of the bomb. Yet, the Iranian people, at serious risk, never fear for their lives, and revolt. Now some guy, Obama for you true believers, gets elected to the presidency of the US – the one country that has stood in opposition of the thugocracy that practically all of the Iranian people have despised and wanted to get rid off for over a decade - and that new guy wants to cozy up to the brutal and evil thugs holding them prisoner. Mend things. Chat without conditions. Be friends! Peace and all that jazz. And suddenly the Iranian people decide that they need to risk their lives to get rid of the thugs!  Are these leftists living in the real world or the Twilight Zone?

See, if you want to link what is happening in Iran to Obama, the real and logical flow of things would indicate a much different chain of events. More likely, what has really happened is that the Iranian people have realized the current US president was going to establish and normalize relations with the monsters running their country, legitimizing the regime in the process, and make it even harder for them to get out from under its oppressive yoke. Thus the Iranian people decided to act before that took place. Once the US had legitimized the thugs in charge, getting rid of them would be that much harder. The Iranian people will remember that the WH’s response to their uprising was to try and play nice with the mullahs, and not to condemn them. Even after a brutal show of indiscriminate force. I guess this is the second democrat to seriously screw things up when it comes to Iran. No wonder that the people that really get what Obama is doing are now saying that he is making Jimmy Carter look wise. No wonder the that the left feels the need to rewrite history.
