The left in America claimed that Obama’s speech would change everything. They claimed the Ayatollahs in Iran would allow Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to lose. The theory was that by allowing a moderate to win, it would signal that Iran would accept Obama’s hand of friendship (appeasement). Well, Iran has sent their message. It is a closed fist with a middle finger sticking out!
Ahmadinejad wins Iran election, Mousavi cries foul
TEHRAN (Reuters) – Hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad won Iran’s election by a thumping margin, according to official results which his moderate challenger rejected on Saturday as a “dangerous charade” that could lead to tyranny.
The level of the incumbent’s support, nearly twice as many votes as former Prime Minister Mirhossein Mousavi with most ballots counted from Friday’s poll, confounded widespread expectations that the race would at least go to a second round.
Obama’s speech has failed. The Ayatollahs have shown the world that their real agenda is Islamic Imperialist Domination. This creates a dilemma for progressives, they admire Mahmoud Ahmadinejad because he hates Israel and calls for its destruction. However, Obama is their Messiah. This will get very interesting and the moral of the story: appeasement doesn’t work. These progressives will still kiss up to the Islamo-Fascists. They will never learn.

I just finished working. We have a Disaster recovery test at my job. Hence the early or in some cases late post. See you all later.
Dear Fellow Americans:
Celebrate Flag Day and Salute Ol’ Glory today!
Of course Ahadinnerjacket was going to win, although with a record like his he would have lost heavily, which is what the Iranian people wanted. He has totally ignored the cities and pumps the country’s petrodollars into no hope rural schemes.
The BBC said that the election was going to be close and interviewed a young Iranian who said words to the effect of “We are tired of the restrictions. We are tired of stifled ambitions. We are tired of his eternal provocations. We are tired of his antisemitism.” I will try to find the link. That vote was so rigged.
Ooops…make it Flag Day weekend!
Different Presidents, A Different Corps.. Contrast and comparison: http://www.youtube.com:80/watch?v=xIHz5tevLAw

Anybody know if there is a

Ohhh… Malkin’s got the goods on Michelle Obama… Out with the old and competent Inspector General… and in with the new crony: “Some decisions about CNCS are being made by First Lady Michelle Obama, according to service advocates (who asked not to be named). Last week, Mrs. Obama announced that her chief of staff, Jackie Norris, would move to CNCS as a senior adviser. Officials said yesterday that Norris is scheduled to arrive on June 22.”
Read it all, wow. Just wow.

re: #5 by The_Albatross
That’s a keeper!
As for the headline, that Ahmadi-Nejad has won, when discussing “elections” in Iran, it is always safer to say “Mullahs Win.”
re: #8 by The_Albatross
Un****ing believable.
But then again,is it really.
Right out of the Chicago 101 Political playbook.
re: #5 by The_Albatross
LOVE IT!
What really struck me is President Bush’s sincerity. He wasn’t always right (who is?), but he believed what he did was for the best.
President Obama has never seemed sincere.
Hi everyone. Goddess, did you see this?

re: #13 by vagabond trader
That makes me crazy. There are O bumper stickers all over the parking lot at my sons’ schools.
They can’t stand even a minimum of “the other side”. My oldest says he used to make one specific teacher furious when he would bring up counter points he heard me screaming at the tv.
It warms my heart to know that there are teachers such as our Goddess out there. Few and far between, but they do exist!
Thousands take to streets to protest Iran poll
Looks like Iran and N.Korea will hit the fan simultaneously
Gonna be an interesting summer
re: #14 by m
Seriously m, in my day teachers rarely mentioned anything to do with their personal beliefs.Taking over the schools was the first goal of Marxists and they have largely succeeded.I give Goddess big kudos for bucking the system, but it isn’t easy if you live in a libral area.

Thay need to get more than angry and we should help them!

The key is this typical statement that I hear over and over and over:
“She said, ‘I don’t know how you could support that woman,’” Latham said. “That was the beginning of what was going on. They were trying to find a reason to get rid of me.”
“that woman”. “That woman” drives libtards into rage.
I support “that woman”.

It’s pretty sad when [on edit:] someone in France gets what our former president does not.
But I just noticed that every name on the page is capitalized except for the US rep, lol.
OT…but wanted to share.
Here is a great “stick person” demonstration of the Obama deficit creation.

The theory I’d always heard was that laughter actually sprang out of a threat response which became a sort of greeting between chimps, sort of the equivalent of comparing guns or penis size. “Look at my teeth, they’re very sharp, we can be friends because you know exactly how dangerous I am.”
That sounds more plausible to me. The best way to keep the peace is to have all your weapons on display. But I guess evolutionists can’t make up their minds…

Lawrence is the home of the University of Kansas. Great basketball school, even if it is a liberal arts school.
re: #13 by vagabond trader
Yes, I did, and this is an example of why teachers need tenure.
By all means, evaluate teachers and weed out those who are poor, but personal politics are NOT part of that.
Having said that, I do not discuss politics, nor do I allow my students to do so because it has nothing to do with my curriculum. They are welcome to write about their opinions as long as they give supporting evidence.
Ahmadinejad Wins Iranian Election
“I’m Jimmy Carter, and I approve these results.”
/Even if he didn’t say it, you know he still approves.
EDIT: Well, sheeeeeit, I didn’t read m’s post (# 25) before making mine. Oh well. With Jimmy Carter, it was an easy guess.

You’d love the expression on my students’ faces when they parrot something and I ask, “What evidence do you have for that?”
Good Morning all,
President Fonz is apparently keeping power.
President Obama is expanding his power.
You and I are losing our power.
Today’s the Monday of my work week.

There’s a paper, I believe it is at the University of Oregon. (some oregon university), that was noted on Fox News yesterday.
It is a conservative newspaper, called The Liberty. They’ve found the majority of their plastic containers to hold the papers thrown in the trash area and their papers thrown away.
The college said that they can only put their papers in the Student Union, and that the choice to reduce THEIR placement on campus is because of measures to reduce litter.
Meanwhile the liberal college newspaper enjoys widespread distribution on campus with no calls to reduce its circulation to cut down on campus litter.
Schools…… bastians of openmindedness…
{Goddess} and thank goodness you do! Critical thinking is almost lost. Repetitive indoctrination has taken over.
People that don’t search out the news get one point of view thrown at them from all sides. Pop culture, non-talk radio, Hollywood, main stream news… even kid tv.
My six yr old nephew (who has said he is going to run for city council because he thinks they should have enough buses to take the kids all the way to their house, and he wants bathrooms on the school buses) was convinced that Obama was going to fix everything.
Luckily he listens to me and has said I get to be his campaign manager. I’ll educate the youngun.
(don’t worry. he isn’t as left leaning as he sounds with the social programs. he also wants to be in the Air Force so he can “take out the bad guys” AND fly a plane!)

Now I know why, I stopped trying to get a teaching job, and ended up riding firetrucks, way back in 1974. I must have seen this coming
re: #36 by m
exactly. Want proof global warming isn’t man-made? Al gore has inefficient homes (plural) and is carted around by jets and convoys of limos and suv’s.
I’ll live more “green” when Gore lives as green as me.
Until then, it is all hype to make Al Gore money.
All those young people in Iran need to rise up and overthrow their corrupt, murdering mullahs and dictators.
Just end the bastards.
*UPDATE*
Mousavi Arrested.
Why does Michelle even have a chief of staff? She’s not an officer of the government.
