The Iranian mullahs know that there is nothing, absolutely nothing, that they can do or say to prevent Barack Obama from giving them everything they want — and they gleefully publicize their knowledge of this fact at every opportunity. Why should they stop chanting “Death to America” when the Obama Administration has already announced that this won’t stop them from making a deal with Iran?
“Iranians at pro-Palestine rallies chant ‘Down with America’ as nuclear negotiators meet,” Associated Press, July 10, 2015 (thanks to Kenneth):
TEHRAN, Iran – Tens of thousands of Iranians chanted “Down with America” and “Death to Israel” during annual pro-Palestinian rallies nationwide on Friday, as a top leader said the U.S. would be making a “strategic mistake” if it pulled out of ongoing negotiations on Tehran’s nuclear program.
The “Al-Quds Day” rallies took place as Iran and six world powers were meeting in Vienna to work out a deal to limit Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for easing tens of billions of dollars in economic penalties on the Islamic Republic.
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani made a brief appearance at the rally in the capital, Tehran, but did not mention the nuclear talks that have blown past two extensions and entered the 14th day of the current round on Friday. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry warned on Thursday that the Americans were ready to leave.
“If you drive the talks into a dead end then it will be you who will be committing a strategic mistake,” Iran’s parliament speaker Ali Larijani said at Friday prayers following the rally in Tehran, addressing the U.S. “And its outcome will not benefit you since Iran’s nuclear staff are ready to accelerate nuclear technology at a higher speed than before.”
At the rally, the hard-line protesters wrapped America, British, Israeli and Saudi flags around pillars and set them ablaze….

VOILA, folks! Please observe the “peaceful” and domesticated willingness to use nukes for “peaceful” purposes… Oops, did I miss something? What?
“…Iran’s nuclear staff are ready to accelerate nuclear technology at a higher speed than before.”
Oh, I get it, they DESPARATELY want to improve their utilities and electrical facilities for all of their “peace-loving” people!!!!
AHEMMM!!!

Of course obama is doing everything he can to make this part of his legacy — allowing iran to build nukes.
(I stated this last night, but imo, it bears repeating)
Angemon says
So they allegedly have the capabilities to do so, and they want to do so. What are these negotiations supposed to accomplish?
Linde Barrera says
To Angemon- My understanding of this whole warped subject is: The US will give billions to Iran in return for allowing them some sort of nuclear capacity that we want to monitor with inspectors of our choice. I do not know if Iran’s assets have been unfrozen since the days of Ronald Reagan (my personal favorite) and this may be part of the deal as well. I honestly and truly believe that since Iranians are Persians and not Arabs, hence not semetic, they consider themselves to be racially and morally superior, and they want to be the top dog in the Middle East. In my opinion, they are not to be trusted. I think instead of giving them billions, we should just let them hate us for free, and cancel this stupid “deal.”

There’s nothing stopping them from making a harmless, model reactor for show (why one of the top 5 oil rich countries needs a nuclear reactor for power is beyond me) while keeping their bomb program running in some dark corner, out of sight. If they are determined to have nuclear weapons these negotiations will do nothing more than buy them time.
Shane says
Cancel the deal and keep the sanctions. Death to Iran and Islamic jihad.

Just as it was in Iraq: while Iraqis, trampled on, and set aflame our Stars and Stripes, and the Israel’s Star of David, chanting, “Death to America!” Death to Israel!”; here at home, families stood on tarmacs, and met stars and striped draped coffins carry the remains of their sons, daughters, husbands and wives returning from Operation Iraqi Freedom.
And, when the said egregiousness was brought to the attention of our “leaders”, they, and those who speak for them, told us, the Iraqis don’t really mean it.
These stompers, they asserted, these US flag burners, these “Death to America! Death to Israel!” screamers do not represent the Iraqi population (99% Muslim [http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2014/06/18/the-sunni-shia-divide-where-they-live-what-they-believe-and-how-they-view-each-other/].)
Of course they don’t–They represent the “prophet of Islam”: all he said, all he approved of, all he commanded.

A ‘slime’s a ‘slime for alla’ that; statesmen condemn them but not ‘crats. Allahu Skatta!!!

“Death to America”
How do you really feel?
Dajjal says
Islam delenda est.
umbra says
iran flipping the coin and saying to obama and kerry, “heads I win, tails you lose”. Both obama and kerry readily agree.

Endless “talks” in opulent, extremely expensive surroundings, big announcements signifying nothing but delusion and deception.
John Kerry vs The Mullahs. They’re loving it.
Gamaliel says
Obama says there is no military solution. He says the way to conquer an ideology is with a better idea. His idea is make friends with the Mullahs. His idea is to convince the Muslim world that the U.S. is a Muslim country so they won’t hate the U.S. anymore. His idea is to show he doesn’t like Israel either in order to get Muslim support.
All his assumptions are wrong but no matter how much the Iranians chant Death to America Obama and the left are unwilling to let reality intrude on their beliefs.
Leftists believe in their ideology, facts be damned.
Matthieu Baudin says
They have never grown up since their reactionary revolution handed power to the nations clerics; the grey beards who had decided to run away from the modern world and abandon their responsibilities to the international community.
duh_swami says
Maybe Rasool Obama should send the Ayatollah another love letter, his last three didn’t seem to take.
Lioness says
John Kerry may not understand the meaning of “Death to America”. Let me translate it for him: it means “Death to America”.
FredvanH says
Bamboolah he hating white people. Bamboolah he hating America. Bamboolah he hating the west. Right. That pretty well sums it up.
Nathan James says
Former president George Bush, with all his faults had balls. Barry Obama on the other and hand! Ex-president Bush junior was hated by many yes, but they feared him, he was a strong leader, does anyone really believe Obama is anything more than a weak, soft president, than can be pushed and leads from behind, or sets a red line on chemical weapons being used in Syria, and then when it happened it was exposed an no more than a pathetic bluff.
I’m not American, I am British and we use to have a bond an allegiance to each other and Obama has destroyed that, but I still love the US and her people, when NYC was attacked on 9/11, our enemies only strengthened our bond, and the UK felt for you because our values, our democracy, our belief in freedom is one and the same!
Obama had damaged that bond and through incompetence has made the world a more dangerous place, because this is the truth, “When America is weak, the world suffers.
Linde Barrera says
To Nathan James- As you are a UK citizen, I would respectfully ask your assessment on why the British Prime Minister David Cameron continually bends over backwards to satisfy the Islamist factions that “push the envelope”. He gives me the impression that Islamists have every right to do whatever it is they want, with no repercussions whatsoever. This approach seems to negate what I learned when I studied many years ago to be a teacher: “Every behavior needs consequences.” I honestly couldn’t explain some of the bizarre words of my president except to state that he was born a Muslim, raised a Muslim, and even though he called himself a “devout Christian” in an interview during his first term, I was told that Obama never complied with all the necessary pre-requisites to become a Christian in the United Church of Christ in Chicago pastored by Reverend Wright. And 1 more fact: President Obama’s dear friend Valery Jarrett is Muslim and has publicly stated that she wants to see America become more Islamic. I am sure she bends his ear on a daily basis! As for myself, I am not afraid, I will not be intimidated, and as a Christian lady—I will never convert to Islam. I look forward to any response you offer.
Nathan James says
Linde Barrera, thank you for your response to my comment. On our current Prime minister and all his kind, everyone in England is sick of him. I guess we like you, see him and all the other politician’s, selling out our freedoms many have died for, just to please Muslims and others like them who come here and don’t contribute, mostly he and our politician’s do this because they are weak and let fear guide them, also because esp. for the Labour party, because these people will continue to vote for them.
Our borders have been left wide open so now, they have massive voting power. But Muslims just take all they can and use their benefits to fund terror attacks or fund themselves to go to Syria or Iraq to train and our government lets them come back! It is the biggest threat we have now there are an est. 500 extremists that have slipped back from fighting with ISIS!
The UK is under attack, it is not the same place anymore, Christians like me are under attack, and the Jews are all emigrating to Israel, in France it is even worst.
But I know one thing I am young and I am strong, I will never stop fighting, the US, the UK, women will never be made to cover everything but their eyes, people should always be free to say whatever they want, even if I don’t agree with them, the west will never be under Islamic law where women are stoned to death.
You know why I and many other will die for this? Because of freedom, our democracy is as basic and important to us as love, our family’s. Justice and the basic rights every human needs. Many people have no morals or just care about money, or blowing innocent people up, but they are the minority. God put compassion, courage and love in more people than they can ever kill.
Linde Barrera says
To Nathan James- I appreciate your answer and I stand with you. I will join this fight and die for my belief in Jesus Christ, as I will never be a Muslim or anything else. I just find it so incredibly insane that Islamists offer the word “Islamaphobe” or “hater” when law abiding non- Muslims and Muslins criticize the Quran or violent directives from imams that put any person or any people at risk. There is absolutely no logic to this thinking of label people “Islamaphobes” or “haters”, but that is one of their many fear tactics. However, I take comfort in many compassionate, moral and stirring words from various sources, like the Holy Bible, statesmen, philosophers, religious persons, and this quote from Pamela Geller: “In the fight between the civilized man and the savage man, always stand with the civilized man.” If I didn’t quote her exactly, that is as close as I remember. And her sentiment is simple and pure. Take care Nathan, God bless you and yours. Many politicians in the US and Europe should have your courage and vision.
Edward says
Knowing our enemy is the greatest deterrent that America can posses., However, we have to harness our lack of courage of which our elected, liberal minded, officials obliviously doesn’t possesses. The Muslim’s main winning ploy is to instill fear to those that contest their objectives as we have seen. As an example: ISIS’ current atrocities streak has been successes upon triumphs because the will of the victims has succumbed to fear. ISIS’ PR campaign, by releasing their evil activities via videos and press releases has manifested even more transgressions against human beings by instilling deepening fear upon fear.
Obama’s recent doctrine “Ideologies are not defeated with guns, they are defeated by better ideas, a more attractive and more compelling vision”, is his professed plans to his cabinet members to curb his fears of not achieving his legacy goals. Actually, [he] counters his personal fears by appeasing the Iranians whims by saying “they are defeated by better ideas, a more attractive and more compelling vision”. By giving in that is….at America’s expense.
