Oh, those pious mullahs! So righteous! Is this what they mean by sharia finance? I guess this is their idea of a  "green revolution". And you have to love those little Swiss piggies. Neutral?

I have the lead article at The American Thinker today (and Saturday too!): The Case for Iran: Fighting for Freedom.

Back when sanity was in order, fine, decent men governed.

As sad as the passing of Farrah Fawcett (anal cancer) and Michael Jackson (drug abuse) is, the media is breathing a heavy sigh of relief (as I am sure the jihad US President is as well).

I asked great American Lt Colonel Allen West for his thoughts on the terrible events in Iran. This, dear readers, best embodies American exceptionalism. This best represents our future.

Obama's silence in the face of the violent and brutal Islamic crackdown on the Iranian people peacefully demonstrating for freedom is in keeping with Obama's previous silences: 1.  Silent on the Black Muslim Riverdale bombers.2.  Silent on the release of the Black Panthers voter intimidation case. His department of justice ordered the case dropped.3.  Silent…

Obama and the Rogues WSJNorth Korea and Iran intrude on his diplomatic hopes. President Obama took office loudly promising to be the anti-George W.

26 year old murdered by Islamic rulers in Iran. Her name, Neda, means "voice" or "the call"…………..

There is, it seems, a power struggle going on behind the scenes, between wannabe Islamic dictators. Is there no voice for Persian nationalism? That would be discouraging; it remains to be seen.

I hope to see a struggle, with the Persians winning out over the Islamic supremacists. The people who supported the Westernized lax-Sharia Pahlavi regime haven't gone away or all been killed.  A secularized Western Iran — what a wonderful turn that would be.  There is a leadership vacuum and a scramble by Iran's Islamic leaders….

Wow, I just got my daily alert from CAIR, and not so much as a word on Iran's bloodiest day yet. Just their daily Islamic obsession with the Jewish people. Muslim Jew hatred — they cling to it, like the "Palestinians" cling to "occupation," even though there is not so much as an Israeli toenail…

I do not believe that people are dying in the streets for this Islamist Mousavi. He sounds like Ahmadinejad. It's like switching your panties that say "Monday" for the ones that say "Tuesday". Why bother? I wrote about this thing  here last week when the Iranians first took to the streets: It Has Always Been…

The President of United States does not want to meddle in Iranian affairs, but he has no compunction about telling the Jews where they can or can't live, telling the Jews they can't have babies, and telling the Jews they can't build on their land. But he can't meddle in the mullahs' outrageous crimes against…

It Has Always Been the Mullahs Pamela Geller Obama was "deeply troubled by the violence" in Iran. In contrast, he was "shocked and outraged" when late-term abortion doctor George Tiller was murdered.
