Watching every move of Iran's people standing up for freedom. It isn't much in our way of looking at freedom but for them, it is a lot, it means a lot to them, it means a move in the direction they know will take them to better days.
The elections recently were a joke, we know that, it was rigged and the people did not have a chance to elect whom they wanted. This time they did not take it lightly, they refused to turn away and go away to be ruled once again as they always have been. This time they wanted change, the change they voted for, the change they knew would give them one day more freedom, a life better than they have had in years, they have yearned for it and now they had that chance, this time they were not going to let it go lightly. So, they stood up in crowds, hundred, thousands, stood up to disagree knowing the consequences were high that blood could be shed. And it was and God loves them for standing up for freedom.
French President, Nicolas Sarkozy and German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, both have demanded a recount and have condemned Iran for it's government crackdown on it's peoples protests. Where is the leader of the Western World? Is not America the leader of the West? What do we have to say, what great words of condemnation does Obama have to give to the Iranians? There are none. He only says that he does not want to get involved. He believes that it is a good thing that the people want to demonstrate, and they should be able to exercise their freedom of speech but he does not come out and condemn the Iranian government for its crackdown on the people, telling them it is not right or humane to go against such protests, nor is he asking that they do a recount so that the people will know that there has been a fair election. 'Tell and show the world there has been a fair election, allow the people to exercise their freedom of speech - show the world you are a fair and just nation' - those are the words that should have come from America, but they did not, will not. Dianne Feinstein of California along with other Democrats says she believes as Obama does that we should leave Iran alone, allow them to figure this out on their own, we should not get involved so others will point fingers at us, and complain that we are meddling.
What Obama does not want is for the Muslim nations to feel that he is betraying them, he does not want himself to look like a bad guy, he wants that good guy image untarnished for the Muslim nations but what he is forgetting is that he is not a Muslim, he is an American, the American President. But he has forgotten yet again and yet again he has let the American image, the American people down. Slowly he is letting America slip from the leader of the Western World to the follower position and soon we will not even follow anyone, we will just be sitting here scratching our heads wondering how we lost everything to socialism. How America once was and now it is not. How we once looked on to the Iranian people fighting for freedom but did not want to help them, for fear of getting freedom's fingerprints all over it. No we just sat there, watch it struggle, perhaps it won, perhaps it did not, but we lost our freedoms and now we will be wondering will anyone dare come and help us? Will anyone dare come and get their freedom fingerprints on us to save us?
I think we need to put freedom's fingerprints all over Iran, we need to show them we do care, and we need to get the American people to care enough to start to put freedom's fingerprints all over Washington because it needs it too. If we do not start to put our touch on America, will we have an America?
God Bless America
