Before Neda, There Was Soraya M.

Do we know, in fact, or are we assuming, that Neda is recognized by her countrymen as the bona fide martyr of the Iranian demonstrators' "cause?" Have we talked to people on the streets in Iran to give us their take on her media beatification? It seems the media has egregiously co-opted the image of this woman to further its own cause - that of ratings! Icons are manmade, heroes are not. What Neda has become, she was not prior to her untimely death. She was allegedly standing with her professor as an observer not a participant when the bullet pierced her. She went down as a human being, an innocent victim of the basij and was reborn as a populist saint of western brand democracy. This arbitrary elevation, one could argue, was more the result of Neda's fateful proximity and curiosity than her active participation in the actual demonstration.

The American News Media suddenly turns off serious reporting to cover the death of a 46 year old man, who conducted same bed sleepovers with children. No serious concerns there.

The complacent and apathetic voters have made their ill-conceived choice. Putting national security and reform aside, they instead chose the Marxist candidate….the one who promised them the most from the treasury coffers. So much for campaign finance reform. With support from; a left-wing biased Bush/Cheney hating mainstream media, money and ads from moveon.org, fraudulent voter registrations by ACORN, Black Panthers intimidating voters in Philadelphia [and making statements like "a black man is going to win no matter what"], and illegal campaign donations (foreign and domestic), the free market system and experienced national security candidate never had a chance. Never in the history of U.S. elections, has such an extreme liberal, un-vetted, and secretive candidate been elected. It will become America's loss. This man voted over 130 times "Present" while in the Senate, which means he is incapable of making a decision! The middle class bought the Marxist candidates' mantra “I am going to save the middle class” sales pitch, hook, line, and sinker. In short, they were duped. When in actuality, the Kenyan born Barack Hussein Obama will destroy the middle class by creating a welfare dependent class and making them a ward of the state ….he will then own their vote. The Democrats will move quickly to pass and enact laws (i.e., the Fairness Doctrine, more power and money to ACORN, liberal campaign finance laws, ammunition coding and restrictions on gun ownership, granting unions more clout with "Card Check," economy crippling "Cap and Trade" legislation, etc.) to ensure they never lose power through future elections. The future will be a move towards a European style socialist system, where our standard of living and productivity will decline, our mighty military will become smaller and less equipped, and our taxes (all taxes) will go up. We will be forced into smaller cars, smaller homes, and smaller families. We will lose many freedoms, such as the right to own a firearm, the right to vote for a union via a secret ballot [instead the union thugs will tell you how to vote], et al. The gap between the rich elitists and the middle-class/poor will widen and there by destroying our republic and replacing it with a socialistic state. Don't be fooled by the Kenyan born Barack Hussein Obama's current middle-to-conservative cabinets picks (exception being Eric Holder as AG, a true left-wing extremist and anti-gun activist), it is just a smoke screen....remember what Stalin said.

(OBAMADECEPTION.NET) WAKE-UP AMERICA!

The article is all well and good. A place in time of Iran's history. Great. Saddness and triumph, on sale now. Possibly a well told story. Thanks for the heads up. Until the country of Iran, and all other countries that continue to exist in perpetual grief, can change it's condition by getting a grip on their own future by whatever means possible, I don't want to hear about it. Their problem. If you want help, then ask. But first, make them read about our history and our struggles. We know who Neta is. Do they know who Crispis Attucks is?

Tragic! http://www.SomeCoolStuff.net
