Whose Side Are Democrats On? (Hint: It's Not America's)

In having conversations with people about the attacks on Iran, I’ve come 
to the realization that there has been a frustration with our government 
over Iran that has been festering since 1979. This is particularly 
pronounced in people who were in high school or just after at that time, 
as they couldn’t understand how it is that we did so little to rescue the 
hostages and punish Iran for taking them. All these years later, there is 
a sense of relief over finally talking about that terrorist regime. That 
sense of relief, however, only extends to people who aren’t Democrats, who 
seem rather unhappy about the administering of justice to the evil 
Islamist regime. It’s enough to make you wonder whose side they’re really 
on.

The administration of Jimmy Carter scarred the people who remember it more 
than I ever suspected, as the frustration surrounding the 444 days the 
American hostages were held in Iran is still a sore spot with a hell of a 
lot more people than I ever realized. 

Operation Eagle Claw, the failed attempt to rescue those Americans, ended 
in tragedy and was, as far as anyone knew, the only attempted strike back 
at the Ayatollah that wasn’t financial. Honestly, the sanctions simply had 
little to no impact on the leadership of Iran because they were in control 
of the government – they took theirs off the top, the people short-changed 
were at the bottom.

Otherwise, there were occasional slaps on the wrist, mostly at the Iranian 
proxies. For Democrats, that was enough. Sadly, it was also enough for 
many Republicans. 

As the Islamo-fascists racked up American deaths – through their proxies 
and direct action in Iraq – that eventually surpassed 9/11 in total, no 
one did anything. The Obama administration delivered them pallets of cash, 
billions of dollars, in exchange for hostages and in an attempt to appease 
them into a nuclear “deal,” which became an obsession for Barack. 

Electronic transfers can be traced, cash can’t be – Obama became the 
biggest funder of terrorism in the history of the world, though that can’t 
be proven (by design).

The first Trump administration killed the bogus nuclear deal, and 
Democrats were outraged. Democrats have been outraged about every strict 
stand President Trump has taken with Iran, which is odd. What’s the point 
of being a super-power if you can’t dictate certain terms to a terrorist 
regime? 

That only happens if the idea of projecting American power is something 
that repulses you, as it does Democrats. It’s unearned and undeserved – 
we’re no better than any other country, and worse than most, in their 
minds. Iran may be no good, but at least they didn’t elect Donald Trump!

To Democrats, the real “fascist” is the United States, but only because of 
who the President is. Their “love” of America is contingent on which party 
holds power and nothing else. When Iran started murdering their citizens 
in significantly larger numbers than usual, there was barely a tisk-tisk 
from the Left. There was more outrage from Democrats over a woman who hit 
a federal law enforcement agent with her car, ON VIDEO, being shot in 
self-defense than there even sternly worded statements, empty as they 
were, released by press staff whose job it is to write and release such 
statements. 

All their anger has been reserved for Americans who refuse to conform to 
their wishes and anyone even suspected of voting for Trump. Two people 
fighting federal agents being killed was an injustice like the world had 
never before seen at the time (now pretty much forgotten), but tens of 
thousands slaughtered in the streets was unremarkable and barely remarked 
upon.

Donald Trump was not going to allow the United States to spend the next 50 
years getting punched in the nose on occasion, not to mention the 
countless Iranians murdered in that time. Enough was enough.

But enough being enough was too much for Democrats, who don’t like the 
United States, and therefore oppose anything we do in our own best 
interest. The only valid use of American power, by a President who isn’t a 
Democrat, is to bow to our enemies in the hope they won’t hurt us. Well, 
the Trump administration is done taking punches and asking if the hand of 
the country that hit us is okay. To the extent Democrats understand that 
concept, they hate it.

With the exception of John Fetterman, there isn’t a Democrat – in elected 
office with a press pass pretending to be a journalist – who isn’t 
confused by the concept of America acting in its own best interest, and 
isn’t disgusted by it. The United States has actively decapitated a 
literal fascist regime and scumbags like Chris Murphy, who recently left 
his wife and kids for a much younger liberal activist, claiming Trump is 
the real problem in the world. 

Just how gross these people are cannot be overstated.

While many old wounds are being reopened in regards to the acts of Iran 
that went unanswered for decades (including Robert Stethem, who was killed 
by Iranian proxies in 1985 during a hijacking, as I learned from a caller 
to my radio show who’d gone to high school with the murdered Navy man), 
they are also being put to rest, finally. Imagine how relieved the Iranian 
people must feel; Iranian women are emerging from the fear of rape and 
imprisonment, even death, for the “crime” showing their hair. 

Then look at Democrats, who simply must oppose anything Donald Trump does 
because Donald Trump did it. They spent a week attacking the gold medal 
winning Olympic hockey team because they laughed at a joke Trump told. 

The last time America won a gold in hockey there were 52 Americans being 
held by the Iranian Islamists, 46 years later that regime paid the 
ultimate price for robbing those people of more than a year of their 
lives. Democrats cheered in 1980, they now stand in opposition to all of 
it. It’s enough to make you wonder whose side they’re really on, isn’t it? 


-- 
November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump.  We look 
forward to America being great again.

We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that 
stupid people won't be offended.

Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.

Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama 
/ Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the 
The World According To Garp.  Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood 
queer liberal democrat donors.
