Iran Protests | Shah's Son Reza Pahlavi Urges Nations to Withdraw Ambassadors

The son of the late Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, who was overthrown and exiled 30 years ago (by the very regime in power today), continues to speak up and is pleading to the international community to join protests against the regime in Iran. He is urging nations to withdraw their ambassadors in objection to Iran’s brutal crackdown of peaceful protesters. In addition to requesting the removal of envoys, he has also written a letter to U.N Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon for investigation into human rights violations. (which means nothing as we know they are useless but the gesture is understandable

In an interview with The Associated Press, Pahlavi equated the climate of the unrest in his homeland with the "revolutionary atmosphere" that preceded the fall of his father from the Peacock Throne 30 years ago, when the monarchy was replaced by an Islamic republic.
In the letter Pahlavi urged the U.N. chief to press Iran to release those arrested and act to "halt the intolerable and increasingly dangerous march of events." The letter was given to the AP Thursday.
Pahlavi said that recalling ambassadors would be a "minimal but clear indication" by U.N. member states of their support for the rights of Iranian citizens and objections to violations of these rights by Iranian authorities.
"This is not about me. I'm not here to advocate anything but ... freedom and democracy for the Iranian people at first and I've determined this as my unique mission in life."
Still, he acknowledged that "I carry on my shoulders the historic weight of an institution that I may potentially represent."

I absolutely agree his with his contention regarding the retraction of ambassadors. In solidarity, the doors need to shut. Unlike the revolution that occurred 30 years ago, these embassies do not have to fear the demonstrators; the thugs are the ones in power, these people just want their rights back. As he stated, while the act may sound minimal, it sends a clear indication of disapproval to the regime along with support for basic human rights. Since the last revolution, the United States has not had an embassy in Iran but surely Canada, Great Britain, and Sweden (among others) can remove their ambassadors, can they not? If not for human rights, then certainly for our own defense, Obama should be meeting with our allies and making the same request as Pahlavi. During the same meeting, sanctions should be discussed and applied (obviously with the approval of congress).

I must apologize, how inappropriate of me to suggest the President take time off golf to tackle important issues.

Lest we not forget that Obama has been shunned by the mullahcracy once again as 2009 has passed along with Obama’s deadline for Iran.

Disturbing | Kevin Jennings School Czar Needs to Go

Parents beware!
Watch the video below as Michelle Malkin discusses the appalling information regarding School Czar, an Obama appointee, Kevin Jennings. Recognize that she has to be restrained regarding the amount of detail she can discuss as television has certain regulations in which she must abide. On the other hand, it’s nice to know that television has such regulations but apparently children don’t, 14 year olds are supposedly old enough to be introduced to sexually explicit lectures and instructions on methods to insert certain…(ah can’t even go further than that, it’s that bad!). Let’s just say that they are calling this scandal “fistgate”. Kevin Jennings needs to get…and quickly! As more information surfaces on his past endeavors, affiliations with organizations, or statements made referencing his ideology, it is non-negotiable; he needs to get to steppin!

The Washington Times had an editorial piece on Kevin Jennings appropriately titled 'Obama's risky-sex czar'. They had to place a warning before the article to caution its readers about the contents. Come on, when the Washington times has to place a disclaimer…ITS THAT FREAKIN BAD. Here's the disclaimer and portions of the article...

WARNING: This editorial includes discussion of topics that are sexually graphic.
Under usual circumstances, we would never entertain these subjects or the rancid language involved. In this case, however, a very unusual exception must be made because the issues are central to the background of a senior presidential appointee at the U.S. Department of Education who is in a position to influence how and what our children are taught in our nation's schools. Thus far, out of fear or squeamishness, there has been public hesitance to examine closely the beliefs of this individual because many are afraid even to touch the risky content. Our scruples cannot be used against us when traditional moral precepts need to be defended. Simply, the deep level of depravity involved in this subject cannot be portrayed without providing a couple of examples to illustrate the inappropriate content. Please do not read any further if you will be offended by sexually graphic language.

They go on to reveal some disturbing information;

The Obama administration is stonewalling serious inquiries about sexual filth propagated by a senior presidential appointee who is responsible for promoting and implementing federal education policy. Democrats clearly are terrified of ruffling the feathers of their activist homosexual supporters, who are an influential part of the Democratic party's base. This scandal, however, is not merely about homosexual behavior; it is about promoting sex between children and adults - and it's time for President Obama to make clear that abetting such illegal perversion has no place in his administration.
The conference discussions were very graphic and cannot be relayed in full detail in a family newspaper. A few examples are sufficient to describe the depravity of the subject matter. During one session about oral sex, a presenter asked the 14-year-old students: "Spit or swallow? Is it rude?" In another session, the 14-year-olds are taught about a gross practice called "fisting," in which "the man leading the discussion position[ed] his hand and show[ed] 14-year-olds how to insert their entire hand into the rectum of their sex partner."

As the article points out in the conclusion, neither the administration nor Obama himself has come out answer questions. Concerned parents and citizens have a right to know what the heck is going on and why this administration would appoint a man with this background to this position.
Are we being Punked?!

Hope & Change Policy | Obama's Record Spending

It was not too long ago then candidate Obama, during his campaign, promised a "net spending cut". As President, Obama has not only forgotten his empty promises, he seems intent on doing the exact opposite.
Obama has managed to spend more than any President before him...double!
Via Fox News;

President Obama has shattered the budget record for first-year presidents --spending nearly double what his predecessor did when he came into office and far exceeding the first-year tabs for any other U.S. president in history.

...compared with other presidents' first years in office, Obama is running circles around them.

During this time of economic hardship, the American people are tightening up and holding their wallets a little bit closer. And that’s just the lucky ones. There are many children who are going to have to celebrate the holidays worrying about their parents who were recently laid off or haven’t been able to find a job after months of searching. They are forced to hold on to the little money that they have and unlike this admin., not accrue additional debt from unnecessary spending. This is what is irritating about the whole situation, it's the blatant hypocrisy. We all have 'wants', yet we have learned to accept the current situation and understand the difference between wants and needs.
It’s obvious that Obama does not care for history as he is repeating the devastating years of the Carter administration’s policies to the tenth degree.
Unless things change (quickly), continuing on this current trend only prolongs the recession. Even more worrisome, their compulsive habit of printing money is doing nothing more than securing one thing…not confidence which our markets need, instead, it secures the probability of inflation occurring. Add this to the list of the “change” we were promised.

(I tried to warn people that change is an empty word as it fails to imply anything more than something different. Repeatedly, I urged people to understand that change can be good but change can also be very bad. Is it worth the risk? Monday morning quarterbacking, was it worth the risk?)

Krauthammer Discusses the Obama Bow & His "Narcissism"

Charles Krauthammer offered his analysis of the Obama bow, which now almost seems to be protocol instead of what I think most considered it to be the first time, a gaffe! I must say that Krauthammer’s assessments are always very informative. Most analysts will argue their views and based on the argument or even the day, they may or may not make a valuable addition to make to the argument. On the other hand, there are the few analysts or experts that should always be paid full attention to, one such analyst is Krauthammer!
The photograph of the President bowing down to the Japanese emperor was indeed embarrassing. The fact is, if embarressment was the only issue then we’d still be humiliated, perplexed, and slightly worried as to why protocol has unexpectedly changed but it would not be a focal point of discussion (among all the other changes, not for the better). If the implications didn’t exceed past embarrassment, the issue would not garner as much attention as it has. Problem is, in international relations every gesture, movement, word becomes significant. Supplement this with the fact that the world is paying attention and that a foolish act, such as bowing, suggests weakness and it becomes a greater issue than just humiliation. Not to mention that proper etiquette in Japan suggests the bow itself to be improper and even perceived as "mean".

Question...and if anyone could provide an answer, I would really appreciate it...an admin. so concerned with staying on message, robotic in a sense, hardly going off teleprompter, etc., why would they do this? I expect that someone on his staff would have discussed his previous blunder the last time he bowed? Maybe not so much?

Whiners | WH Wont Stop Crying About Fox News

Because I am a good person (well at least that's what my friends tell me) I feel like I need to warn you in advance. The video posted below is 9 minutes of pure bull from the WH administration bitching about Fox News' coverage of the President. As you know, the first amendment is no longer in play; no one is allowed to report facts.
As you can imagine, CNN is on the WH ‘nice list’ unlike Fox News who is on the ‘naughty list’, who would of thought the President and Santa have something in common (bad joke...in case you didn’t get it, they have the lists in common…ha ha). After all, they are the network that fact checked the SNL spoof on Obama! Take note, how to get on the good side of this administration…display your willingness to promote the President and administration, even though you may be risking credibility and public embarrassment. Example… a major network fact checking a comedy routine. In their defense, maybe they didn’t know it was a parody?
Anyway, do they think that crying about unfavorable coverage will cause the public to sympathize with them? Someone should advise them to halt any future whining sessions. I pity anyone who has to hear this lady daily, talk about irritating! I don’t mean to be unkind but I want my 9 minutes back.
Question...were any of these people present or paying attention to the news in the past few years? Compare Bush's treatment to Obama’s and you will notice the incredible difference in coverage. Most of the media is in love with Obama while the coverage of Bush was hostile and disrespectful. The things that were said and done to him were an absolute embarrassment to the journalistic profession. It’s interesting that the same people who are crying foul now are those very same people who not only did not support Bush during the war, they were vicious and nasty. In some respects, I am happy that it happened because anytime these people want to whine to CNN or some other left-leaning news organization, I just think back to the treatment of the previous administration. Since the word ‘fair’ is thrown around by the left constantly, let’s be ‘fair’ and give Obama as much respect as was given to Bush. Though that would be fair, thankfully, we are not as disrespectful as the left. That being said, I don’t care if the President is a Republican or Democrat, I have every right to disagree with his policies and can choose not to support his plans! Furthermore, doing so does not make me racist so don’t pull that bullshit with me!

In the clip she admits to punishing Chris Wallace by skipping his show on the Presidents healthcare tour. On a totally different note, Britney Spears is trying to catch up to the President number of tours! Seriously, this guy is played out and it hasn’t even been a year yet.
The grab for state-run media is in full swing. Get ready folks…it begins with this, first they punish any dissent, then net neutrality which is socialism for the internet (which by the way has also begun), and last but not least…talk radio with the unfairness doctrine. We elected someone from Chicago, the city with one of the worst records of political corruption and now we are experiencing the methods in which they use to defeat their opponents. They use their powers, influence, money, or whatever to take them out of the game. Got to love the Chicago way!

Ridiculous Analysis | Stimulus Working?

Anyone who claims that the stimulus is working just might be certifiably nuts. Well it’s not really surprising that the person making such a wild accusation, Robert Reich, just happens to be employed by the Obama administration as an economic advisor.

(the video clip is posted below)
During the CNBC interview with Reich discussing the large unemployment numbers, he actually claimed that;

"the stimulus package is the thing that is actually keeping the economy up, keeping people employed."

Who actually believes him? The others on the program certainly don’t! You’ll notice the hosts, Francis and Kudlow, after hearing the outlandish statement, look at each other and laugh.
Sure the Vice President made the same outrageous claim but that’s good ol' Joe...we know he is not a rational person. It’s understood that all his comments be ignored. Unfortunately, as an advisor to the POTUS, you’re supposed to have some credibility or at least pretend to if you’re going to be defending the administration on the news. Maybe next time, he could start with a lighter joke…one that’s not so funny seeing as how Americans are losing their jobs. Unemployment numbers came out today showing that unemployment is at a 26 year high…Still think the stimulus is working?
You know, when the VP or even worse, the Presidents own economic advisor, make statements like this, it’s awfully offensive. This is the advisor of economic policy to the POTUS and if they think the country is in good shape and the stimulus worked then this administration and President are more off than I could have ever conceived. Is it stupidity or is it plain arrogance or maybe they just don’t care? It’s the era of “hope and change” folks. Half the country took the bait and now the whole country is paying for their naivety!
This administration and democrats in congress need to forget about healthcare and fix the economy! I mean this is infuriating! Then again, how dare we bore the administration with real issues like this when he’s got better things to do…like make a plea on behalf of his corrupt cronies in Chicago to the Olympic committee! Which I may add…failed at that too!

What is it going to take for them to pay attention…or is it just maybe exactly what they want? Rahm Emmanuel, chief of staff, proudly exclaimed that a good crisis should never go to waste! I hope this is not true but every day I’m moving closer to that conclusion until I’m given a reason not to…like a plan to fix the economy. This time, if they do present a plan, we hope they will take it seriously! We want a real proposal, one that has the ability to work! Instead of creating a so-called ‘stimulus’ bill and throwing money at your political allies as payback, lets present real ideas like lifting the burden on small businesses in order for them to hire more workers. Small businesses provide 2 out of every 3 jobs in our country. Why are the unions more important to the President than small businesses who should have been the focus of the original bill? I’m sure you can answer that question yourself.
Additionally, we could suspend federal income taxes for 3-months so that the money goes directly into everyone’s pocket in order to “stimulate” the economy since that’s what a stimulus is supposed to do.

Via newsbusters, they correctly question the rationality;

Is this how the Obama-loving media are going to report today's terrible economic news: it would be worse without the stimulus package, and it will only get better if we pass healthcare reform?

It is clear that this President has all his priorities screwed up!

Chris Wallace Obama Admin "Biggest Bunch of Cry Babies"

“I think it works with the others — it doesn’t work with me.” - Chris Wallace (regarding the intimidation by the Obama Admin)

Chris Wallace dishes out the dirt on the Obama white house and administration. It’s no coincidence that Obama plans to appear on all the Sunday shows except for Chris Wallace’s on Fox News. As we’ve learned so far, Obama’s administration is choreographed to the tee. Now we know why the administration has skipped Fox news besides the obvious being that they are afraid they’ll have to actually answer real questions (we know how dangerous that may be when Obama doesn’t have a teleprompter). Basically they intimidate the other networks through daily emails critiquing their every report or analysis. The other networks clearly cave into it while Fox and Chris Wallace refuse to be bullied.

I mean I knew they probably punished networks and shows that they felt were unfair to them (which are any reports that don’t praise them on a daily basis). I can’t believe they send emails regularly harassing the news corp.

Does anybody else have a problem with this? If we have a free press to keep our government in check then how can they fulfill their role appropriately when they have to be afraid that big brother might get upset?

Do you realize that this is what countries like Iran do? Though it’s a beautiful country, the people are protesting in the streets for a taste of freedom while we are gladly giving ours up. Ridiculous isn’t it?

This very well may be the Chicago thuggery political way but we don’t want any of that in DC!

Hmm...Is this why the Acorn scandal wasnt covered by any of the other networks or papers until we finally had to twist their arm to do so? Its all making sense now...
