Cruel to be kind means that I love you . Because, while I think you are mistaken, your hearts are in the right place -- yes, even you, Silas -- unlike some people . This Breitbart fellow (discussed in the link above), by all appearances, deliberately doctored a video of Shirley Sherrod to make her remarks appear virulently racist, when they had, in fact, the opposite import. I heard that at a recent Austrian conference, some folks were talking about "Callahan's conservative turn." While that description is not entirely inaccurate, I must say that a lot of these people who today call themselves conservative give me the heebie-jeebies.
If Romney wins, I think this embassy attack will have had a lot to do with it.
ReplyDeleteThat's possible, but I think that it's related to a much broader issue of dominance in the region. I very much believe that a Romney win would have to do with his support from Wall Street and the Israeli lobby. I don't think that Obama wants to pull the trigger against Iran, but I am sure that Romney has no problem doing so. For that alone I wish for Obama to stay in office (in spite of the other problems that I have with him), because I know that the ptb wants a war with Iran and they usually get what they want.
DeleteOf course, I could be wrong, and Obama could be planning to war with Iran after the elections.
