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…

From the tweetdeck, tweeting the revolution. Unconfirmed reportage from the street, as the leftists and their media handmaidens in America hold their noses and pray this goes away.

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…

If there is violence in the Middle East, rest assured the "Palestinians" are there, doing a-what comes naturally.  I live for they day when I see a good and decent Palestinian contribution to man. Until then, duck. And where's Obama? Having a pedicure while Brian Williams collects the cuttings for an extra special insider NBC…

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.

I feel for those terrified souls marching through Tehran blindly acting out in hope that it might effect any change. An exercise in futility. If they value their lives, they will flee the country. We should have backed the reformers and the dissidents years ago when free men had a shot …………. now we are…

Since Jimmy Carter helped install the Ayatollah Khomeini,  Iran has been behind  major Islamic terrorist acts and major Islamic terrorist groups, Iranian foreign legions as it were. They declared war on the West in ’79 and have never looked back. It is the caliphate they want and the caliphate they mean to inflict on the…
