This week the public continued to get signals from our leaders that we may be in for yet another war. This time it would be Iran. In an interview this week, Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) uttered the words that many peace advocates fear: “regime change.” In response to public moves by Israel to attack Iran “before the U.S. elections,” Lieberman took to the air to assure the public that “we” can defeat Iran and “hope and pray” for a regime change. Sounds tragically familiar.
Many of us have been watching with rising concern the moves toward a war with Iran, including the reported desire of the Netanyahu government to secure the approval of a leading Rabbi. There seems a concerted effort to prepare Americans for such a war. Israel is counting on the current presidential campaign to dampen down opposition to its launching an attack and is clearly confident that we will eventually hand over the billions that it will want to replace weapons and help pay for the war. More importantly, the chances that we could get pulled into the war are high since an Israeli attack could easily provoke Iran into attacking U.S. personnel or assets.
Lieberman told Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty this week that he thinks the chances are “high” that there will be a war with Iran and stressed “I think we have the capability either to eliminate the Iranian nuclear weapons program or to disable it in a way that it will be delayed for enough years that we may hope and pray that there will be a regime change and that there will be a more democratic and friendly regime.”
Of course, Lieberman can be suggesting that we could attack Iran and not call it a “war” — a tactic used by the Obama Administration in the Libyan war.
Of course, the decision for the war will not be made by Americans and the American people will once again be given a fait accompli that we must support our allies and our own troops now that a war has started. Thus, as Camden is now moving to eliminate its police force for lack of money, we will likely be sending billions again to another war abroad with U.S. troops likely to follow.

“I always expect such a response from the saponaceous, unctuous, and oleaginous wasteland of the Leftist subcretinous “mentality.”

Funny, I always expect braying from a jacka**. Wonder why you keep coming back? Algolagnia, perhaps?
“Oh? Why don’t you enlighten us as the the threats that Iran poses to the US? Do you think Iran will use this phantom nuke on us? The answer, of course, is no – unless we attack them.”

Well, how about I let the IAEC report explain the threat. Para. 53 — if you can’t make your way through the entire report.

As to Iran’s designs on us I give you the President of Iran himself:
“The bitter enemies of the Iranian people and the Islamic Revolution have recruited most of their forces in order to harm us. They have indeed succeeded in inflicting blows upon us more than once, but have been rewarded with a far stronger response.” (,,,) The enemy believes it can achieve its aims in a long, persistent struggle against the Iranian people, but in the end it will not. We are working to ensure that.” (7/19/2012)
Sorry, it was fun talking to you bunch of Leftist dolts. But I can’t waste any more time with you, amusing though it may have been. You may resume your inane, insipid, jejune, and mindless posts amongst each other. (Is there really any other kind that a Leftist can write?)
Ralph Ardamo,
You’re welcome for the Hamas point of view. Did I get it right? You know so much about these fellows. How long were you with them? Was it an intimate relationship? Not that there’s anything wrong with that. Did they leave you at the altar? Poor little guy.
I believe that the 10-cent phrase you told me to look up means “soapy, oily, and oily wasteland of the Leftist subcretinous “mentality.”” Rather redundant, isn’t it? “Subcretinous” is not a word at all. Would you like me to look up “wasteland” and “mentality,” or are you old enough to find those, by yourself? Any more you’d like me to look up for you?
Oh, and you did use “Leftist” exactly three times again. Are your Leftist rants computer-generated?
Are you, by chance, a Spambot? That would explain so much.
It’s you and me against the world, Ralph. We Leftists must mutilate the millions of mindless minions for the next millenium. Venceremos!
@Bob Krauten, thank you for the Hamas point of view. And, at the same time, you completely evaded the truth of what I told you. That par for typical Leftist conduct: avoid, distort, lie, divert, and distract. I always expect such a response from the saponaceous, unctuous, and oleaginous wasteland of the Leftist subcretinous “mentality.” (You can look those words up later if you actually want to learn something. But if you don’t, I can understand. Actually learning things is something you, as a Leftist, would naturally abhor.)

ROFLMAO. Oh, help me. I’m laughing so hard it hurts. This guy is soooo funny! (and misinformed)
Somebody please! Put this man in a rest home where he can’t do any more damage!
Ralph,
You’re getting lazier than a subcretin dummy.
You pasted
“Pro-Islam, Pro-Government Control, Pro-Tyranny, Anti-LIberty, and Anti-Freedom”
three times after your initial brilliant phrasing. In doing so, you repeated the typo capitol I (LIberty) all four times.
Falling in love with your own turgid prose is a really weird form of self-abuse. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
I suppose it’s pleasuring someone you love.
You were consistent, though. You used “Leftist” exactly 3 times, like all of your other posts do. Why did I notice this detail? When I read your posts, I have to have something to keep my mind occupied. Your posts are devoid of content.
I was able to find “subcretin” discussed only in the Central journal of homoeopathy. Is that where you got your education?
It shows, from your sophisticated use of the term “dummies.”
We Leftists, and I include you, Ralph, need a shorter, catchier phrase than “”Pro-Islam, Pro-Government Control, Pro-Tyranny, Anti-Liberty, and Anti-Freedom.” That’s a bit much to fit on a Tshirt. How about “I Love Pizza”?
Leftist Solidarity Forever, me broother!
Frankly’s prayer sounds like something with which Conan the Barbarian would beseech Crom. But Conan never said very much longer than:
“To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.”
In a slightly different vein, he once said,
“Crom, I have never prayed to you before. I have no tongue for it. No one, not even you will remember, if we were good men, or bad. Why we fought, or how we died. No, all that matters is, that two stood against many. That’s what’s important. Valour pleases you Crom, so grant me one request, grant me revenge! And if you do not listen, then the hell with you!”
Now, that’s a lord’s prayer I can get behind!
Frankly
Where did you get that horrifying “prayer”? I’d pass it on to Pat Robertson and Rick Santorum but I think they already have copies…
I bet Ralph likes it, tho.
Malisha,
The saying Lieberman looks like the Grinch is an insult to the Grinch! 🙂
I do not like Lieberman.
How could anybody run for vice-pres if he looks like the Grinch!
What Frankly said. Lieberman is a disgrace to all Americans and his constant calls for war are disturbing if he was a private citizen. As a Senator, it is disgusting. Iran does not have the nuclear capability that the war mongers are clamoring about, but for some reason they must be taken down. Sounds like their is more of our oil under their sand.
For you subcretins out there, and there are many on this board, the following is a definition of a Leftist:
Leftist = Pro-Islam, Pro-Government Control, Pro-Tyranny, Anti-LIberty, and Anti-Freedom.
In case you dummies haven’t noticed. Iran is Pro-Islam, Pro-Government Control, Pro-Tyranny, Anti-LIberty, and Anti-Freedom. And in case you Leftists are oblivious to the meaning of your own viewpoints, if you support Iran’s goal to obtain nuclear weapons, you are Pro-Islam, Pro-Government Control, Pro-Tyranny, Anti-LIberty, and Anti-Freedom.
Jonathan T. is no “Libertarian.” No genuine LIbertarian would support a Pro-Islam, Pro-Government Control, Pro-Tyranny, Anti-LIberty, and Anti-Freedom government like Iran that seeks to obtain nuclear weapons.
They still polishing that ‘Project for A New American Century’ the Neo conservatives dreamed up for the US empire? Gad, like ‘trickle down’ economics this is one more zombie that refuses to die off……
News today about the Marine who was kidnapped from his house by the FBI over a Facebook post- they sent him to a mental ward for a while, never charged, never read his rights:
@mespo727272 “Minimizing threats to national security doesn’t help your cause.”
Oh? Why don’t you enlighten us as the the threats that Iran poses to the US? Do you think Iran will use this phantom nuke on us? The answer, of course, is no – unless we attack them.
@Ralph Adamo “Jonathan T. and the Leftists are rooting for Iran.”
You are implying that Prof Turley is a leftist? That tells you how clueless you really are. If anything the good Professor is very conservative, with strong libertarian leanings. You, of course, are so witless that you probably don’t know the difference. But please spare us your moronic ramblings.
“O Lord our Father, our young patriots, idols of our hearts, go forth to battle – be Thou near them! With them, in spirit, we also go forth from the sweet peace of our beloved firesides to smite the foe. O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with their little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames of summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring Thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it – for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.
“Ye have prayed it; if ye still desire it, speak! The messenger of the Most High waits.”
This man is truly deranged, a threat to the nation and to himself. For his own good he should be hospitalized in an institution that can care for his mental illness before he hurts us and himself.
Ralph’s meaningless drivel deserves little response. Here it is: The blood will be on your hands.
