For a man with an Ivy League education, Barack Hussein Obama is the dumbest, most non-serious candidates for the President of the United States in my lifetime. No, I take that back. He is the dumbest, most non-serious candidate for President of the United States. (And let's keep in mind, that includes Pat Paulsen).
Let's examine the evidence.
Item #1: Iran doesn’t “pose a serious threat to us the way the Soviet Union posed a threat to us . . . . If Iran ever tried to pose a serious threat to us, they wouldn't stand a chance."
Where did Barack Obama spend the last years of the Cold War? Comparing the threat of the Soviet Union (and the entire Warsaw Pact) to the threat posed by Iran is like comparing apples and napalm. The Warsaw Pact represented a symmetrical military and economic threat to the West. They had standing armies, we had standing armies. We had standing navies, they had standing navies. We had a massive air force, they had a massive air force. We both had spies, spy technology, traitors, etc.
And we both had a survival instinct. While the Soviet Leadership was evil, and wrong, and despotic, their actions were at least rational. Rational in the sense that they were predictable, rooted in a desire to -- at a minimum -- survive. This reason -- and this reason alone -- was why there were numerous talks, and summits, and negotiations-- even diplomatic relations -- between the US and the Soviet Union. Even at the height of the Cuban Missible Crisis, the embassies were still open and functioning. In fact, Anatoly Dobrinin felt safe enough that he was willing to leave the Soviet Embassy to meet with Robert Kennedy at the Department of Justice.
In other words, it was pretty Marquis de Queensberry.
There IS NO SUCH COMPARISON with Iran. Remember, our war with Iran started on November 4, 1979 when the leading students of the Iranian Revolution INVADED the US Embassy and took US Citizens hostage for 444 days. I remember that day. I remember coming home and watching Ted Koppel on TV talking about this country called Iran. I remember everyday afterwards, too. I remember the yellow ribbons going up in the neighbor. And the US flags. And the news every day after school. I remember the story of one H. Ross Perot, who smuggled some of his workers out of the country through the Canadian Embassy. And I remember the heartache of Desert One. I remember the bike seat at C.A. Mueller Bike Shop on Taylor Ave that was a painted picture of the Ayatollah. I remember 'Barbara Ann" by the Beach Boys being re-written as "Bomb Iran". And I remember the poster of Mickey Mouse waving a flag and flipping the bird, with the words "Hey Iran!".
Iran represents an asymmetrical threat to the United States. With their dark allies of Hamas, Hezbollah, and Syria, we can never be sure of how, or when, they will strike. Ahmenidijad has vowed to wipe Israel off the map. He has denied the Holocaust. And he has a messianic vision-complex, that dictates he will bring about the return of the 12th Imam of Shia Islam. Iran has been waging unremitting war against us for 29 years. The embassy, the Marine Barracks in Beiruit, our CIA Station Chief in Beiruit (William Buckley), US Navy Diver John Steatham, the Khobar Towers, the embassies in East Africa... the list goes on and on. And now, is Quds Force is waging a very hot war against our troops in Iraq.
Iran does pose a serious threat to the lives of Americans. And they do stand a chance, but the feckless, Ivy-Leave-educated dumbass for the south side of Chicago can't see the forest through the trees.
Item #2: Comparing meeting Ahmenidijad with Kennedy meeting Kruschev, or Reagan meeting Gorbachev.
Nice try, Barack, but that dog won't hunt. First, Kennedy and Reagan were incredibly serious men doing an incredibly serious job. You are stupid. You are an idiot. Kennedy and Reagan came from a similar worldview that was best personified in Kennedy's inaugural speech:
Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty.
This much we pledge—and more.
You believe in none of that. You don't believe that America is the last, best hope for freedom and liberty in a dangerous world. You don't believe in the supremacy of Western culture; you believe in a crippling moral relativism that makes Kim Jong Il and Hugo Chavez the moral equivalents of the leaders of the Western World. You believe in trading the moral highground for the lowland swamps of thugs, despots, and tyrants. You believe this because you believe that America is no better (and probably worse) than these evil men who kill their own people with impunity. Instead of drawing stark differences between good evil, you attempt to draw parallels. This is the song and dance of the weak mind, the last refuge of a man with little moral anchor and no tradition of knowledge.
Item #3: "But I do want to say this to the GOP. If they think that they’re going to try to make Michelle an issue in this campaign, they should be careful. Because that I find unacceptable"-- Barack Obama, on Good Morning America
Barack, I hate to tell you, but the minute you trotted Michelle out and featured her in the campaign, you made her an issue. The minute you let her run her over-priced, under-educated Ivy-League mouth, you made her an issue. The minute she claimed that your campaign was the first time she was ever "proud of America" made her an issue. Her whining on how hard it is to send your kids to camp on a half-million annual income made her an issue.
This is the big leagues, pal. You are playing in the major leagues. If you can stand the fastballs, you better stay out of the batters box. Because if you and your wife cannot handle the crucible of a Presidential election, you can forget your dreams of drinking tea with Kim Jong Il, or Hugo Chavez, or Raul Castro. They will eat you alive. In fact, I think its fair to say that used car salesman would clean your clock.
So, if you don't want her to be an issue, why don't you send her back to her cushy $300k a year job at University of Chicago Hospitals.
Brack Obama is dangerous for America. He is not as bright as one thinks he is. He doesn't see the long view -- backwards or forwards. And he would sacrifice and surrender America's prestige and leadership role in the world to play patty-fingers with the worst of the world's dictators.
