These are the folks that will be hunted by the Militias, Secret Police and Revolutionary Guard. Expect harsh crackdowns to start today. Murder, mayhem and extreme violence can be expected but since the Press can&#039;t report it, it will be like the Holocaust that &quot;never happened&quot; according to the Mullahs. 

As the US has not had an Embassy there since 1979 there can be no sanctuary offered by the US. Other Embassies are treating casualties but not on a scale that is effective. Lacking the strong possibility of outside intervention, the violence will continue until the dissidents are crushed, silenced and eliminated. They will just dissapear.  The body count has been estimated to be as high as 200 but with no Press to report it who knows?

Obama will lecture on Fathers Day and not commit a single US resource to stop the oppression and tyranny. The UN will be ignored and the dissidents will be subject to the will of the Regime. He is no Reagan. He is just a Citizen of the World minding his own damn business and staying out of it while America is shocked and saddened but lacking the Leadership that could make a difference. He is no Reagan. It is a sad day for Freedom and a sad day for Iran. The election results will stand uncontested and Iranian Government will continue to be
a threat to it&#039;s people and the region.

Happy Fathers Day All!</description>

 New York Times, otherwise known as the Grey Lady, might more appropriately be known as Obama’s Shady Lady.  Believe its poll and get a Times Square disease.
The lead headline is about a NYT/CBS News Poll, trumpeting “&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/21/health/policy/21poll.html?_r=1&amp;hp&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Wide Support for Government-Run Health&lt;/a&gt;.” The lead paragraph:
&lt;blockquote&gt;Americans overwhelmingly support substantial changes to the health care system and are strongly behind [72%] one of the most contentious proposals Congress is considering, a government-run insurance plan to compete with private insurers, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
BUT, according to the &lt;a href=&quot;http://documents.nytimes.com/latest-new-york-times-cbs-news-poll-on-health#p=7&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;actual poll data&lt;/a&gt;, of the 73% of respondents who said they voted in 2008 only 34% voted for McCain and 66% for Obama.  The actual vote was 48% McCain.  So, 29% of McCain voters ignored by the poll must not be Americans, according to the NYTs methodology, and there are about as much an overpolling of  Obama voters.  NYT&#039;s Shady Lady polling.&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;How do you say &quot;Groundhog Day&quot; in Farsi ?&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.iranfocus.com/en/index.php?option=com_content&amp;task=view&amp;id=2605&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Tehran, Jun. 25 2005&lt;/a&gt; – “Ahmadinejad? Who’s he?” &lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;This was the typical reaction of most Iranians a day after the first round of presidential elections in Iran, when they heard that the two candidates facing each other in the run-off were veteran politician Ayatollah Ali-Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani and the &lt;strong&gt;little-known&lt;/strong&gt;, ultra-conservative mayor of Tehran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. &lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;Last week’s surprise was all forgotten by the &lt;strong&gt;much bigger shock on Friday, when Ahmadinejad defeated the former President&lt;/strong&gt; and iconic figure in the ruling theocracy in a &lt;strong&gt;landslide victory&lt;/strong&gt; that &lt;strong&gt;consolidated power in the hands of the ruling Islamic clerics.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;</description>

		<description>A thought just occurred to me.  What would OUR fearless leaders do if we filled the streets in DC in a peaceful protest.  There&#039;s a ton of us who are out of work and I&#039;m sure that all the car dealers that have been closed would be delighted to join!  I&#039;d make it a point to be there... should be on a day where CONgress is supposed to be voting on something important, like, naming a post office or another holiday or how much we should pay in reparation for slavery.

WHAT A COLLECTION OF SELFISH, NARCISSTIC, POWER-HUNGRY MORONS!!!</description>
