I've become more and more of a Rick Santorum fan and would love to see him as the Republican presidential candidate. Still, something Gingrich said in the last debate impressed me. He brought up the Obama's silence on the atrocities of the young Iranian students protesting election fraud. I have two major reasons for not voting for Obama.
I couldn't believe Gingrich said that! I've read plenty of opinions on why people shouldn't vote for Obama for very valid reasons, but this is the first time I've heard anyone bring up the Iranian protests, and certainly the first time it's been mentioned this election season.
My jaw dropped.
Voter fraud and civil rights/human rights abuses are supposed to be the sacred cows of Democrats and here Obama was silent and only after the liberal media questioned him did he respond. Another case of a politician who constantly wants to be on the right side of history? Righteousness doesn't work that way.
Either your moral compass is properly set or it isn't. IMO those kids were protesting against a modern day Hitler. After the fact righteousness? I don't think so.
It's interesting. Iranians seem to be the only people in the Middle East truly fighting for reform and freedom from forced Islam (not necessarily from Islam, but Islamic governmental control). They seem to despise it as much as many Cuban Americans despise Communism.
OT but it just occurred to me--people keep calling the US a Democratic nation. I thought it was a Democratic Republic. Someone mentioned to me that there is a difference. It would be interesting to find out.
Off to check I go.
That's all too true.
ReplyDeleteNow I wonder what his version of the American Revolution would be if he had any control over the college education he think's all American kids need? The history of the American Revolution: Obama Version.
