Again, there are constant live updates from the people of Iran themselves on Twitter. Much violence and bloodshed. Today looks to be a turning point in the Green Revolution. Hopefully.
Meanwhile, Barry is golfing and taking the kids for ice cream in Hawaii. Has the President EVER used the words “Freedom” or “Liberty”? Just curious.
UPDATED MUSING: When did Barry and American Democrats stop caring about human rights? Was that another casualty of the 2008 Election?
UPDATE: From “Iran1st” on Twitter: In over 1300 years no ruler or invader has ever shed blood on Ashura [Shia mourning holiday] – The Islamic Republic has.

What is your suggestion on an appropriate response from our current presidential administration?
As soon as practicable this POTUS should be impeached because he is not upholding the Constitution, a promise that he made under oath. The reason for suggesting impeachment is that he has committed an act of perjury that is far worse than the perjury committed by Bill Clinton.
Any impeachment should outline charges relating to his malfeasance regarding the takeover of GM and Chrysler, the shutting down of Chrysler dealerships that belonged to Republicans, the interference in Honduras, the bowing before the emperor of Japan (and everything that it signifies), the attempt to bring about communism…. etc. etc.
I find it disgusting that he attempted to overthrow the Honduras govt which had legitimately removed Zelaya whilst at the same time he refused to accept that Ahmanutjob was not the legitimately elected President in Iran. I find it disgusting that he has not spoken out on the human rights violations in Iran, and ditto over his attitude towards human rights violations in China.
yeah, apparently he has — just once for all I can find — and he says that the “meaning of our liberty” is to give more of it to government…at least that is the best I can make of this unintelligible leftist claptrap:
The man is a fascist, he does not BELIEVE in liberty.
Did he? The oath was screwed up twice.
DRH,
– more money to Radio Free Iran, and refund the Iran Human Rights Documentation Centre.
– An actual embargo of Iran, up to and including shutting off pipelines and blocking/threatening/sinking ships running that embargo.
– Iraq not just sitting there when Iran comes marching in and seizing an oil well.
– funding the democracy now movements in Iran.
– Loud public statements about the people in Iran, letting them know they are not alone.
– Practice exercises on the Iraq/Iran border.
– Pointing the PKK to Iran, and using that to bribe Turkey
How to pay for this, you ask? Reverse the unlimited bailout of fannie and freddie, rescend the stimulus, health care debates. Allow local nuclear power plants to be built, Take the Marshal Bill’s defunding clause and expand it to include Universities that contact the Iranian government. Stop paying the UN to screw us over.
I forgot…
Targeted strikes on Hamas and Hezbulla in Lebanon and Syria. Work with the Cedars in the Lebanon Government and the Israelies. Have top leaders just disappear. Forment revolt in Syria against the dentist. Give Iran so many fires that they can’t put them out.
(Yes, I’m advocating targeted assassinations, deal with it.)
