Whose Side Are Democrats On? (Hint: It’s Not America’s)

Townhall 

In having conversations with people about the attacks on Iran, I’ve come to the realization that there has been a frustration with our government over Iran that has been festering since 1979. This is particularly pronounced in people who were in high school or just after at that time, as they couldn’t understand how it is that we did so little to rescue the hostages and punish Iran for taking them. All these years later, there is a sense of relief over finally talking about that terrorist regime. That sense of relief, however, only extends to people who aren’t Democrats, who seem rather unhappy about the administering of justice to the evil Islamist regime. It’s enough to make you wonder whose side they’re really on.

The administration of Jimmy Carter scarred the people who remember it more than I ever suspected, as the frustration surrounding the 444 days the American hostages were held in Iran is still a sore spot with a hell of a lot more people than I ever realized. 

Operation Eagle Claw, the failed attempt to rescue those Americans, ended in tragedy and was, as far as anyone knew, the only attempted strike back at the Ayatollah that wasn’t financial. Honestly, the sanctions simply had little to no impact on the leadership of Iran because they were in control of the government – they took theirs off the top, the people short-changed were at the bottom.

Otherwise, there were occasional slaps on the wrist, mostly at the Iranian proxies. For Democrats, that was enough. Sadly, it was also enough for many Republicans. 

As the Islamo-fascists racked up American deaths – through their proxies and direct action in Iraq – that eventually surpassed 9/11 in total, no one did anything. The Obama administration delivered them pallets of cash, billions of dollars, in exchange for hostages and in an attempt to appease them into a nuclear “deal,” which became an obsession for Barack. 

Electronic transfers can be traced, cash can’t be – Obama became the biggest funder of terrorism in the history of the world, though that can’t be proven (by design). 

The first Trump administration killed the bogus nuclear deal, and Democrats were outraged. Democrats have been outraged about every strict stand President Trump has taken with Iran, which is odd. What’s the point of being a super-power if you can’t dictate certain terms to a terrorist regime? 

That only happens if the idea of projecting American power is something that repulses you, as it does Democrats. It’s unearned and undeserved – we’re no better than any other country, and worse than most, in their minds. Iran may be no good, but at least they didn’t elect Donald Trump!

To Democrats, the real “fascist” is the United States, but only because of who the President is. Their “love” of America is contingent on which party holds power and nothing else. When Iran started murdering their citizens in significantly larger numbers than usual, there was barely a tisk-tisk from the Left. There was more outrage from Democrats over a woman who hit a federal law enforcement agent with her car, ON VIDEO, being shot in self-defense than there even sternly worded statements, empty as they were, released by press staff whose job it is to write and release such statements. 

All their anger has been reserved for Americans who refuse to conform to their wishes and anyone even suspected of voting for Trump. Two people fighting federal agents being killed was an injustice like the world had never before seen at the time (now pretty much forgotten), but tens of thousands slaughtered in the streets was unremarkable and barely remarked upon.

Donald Trump was not going to allow the United States to spend the next 50 years getting punched in the nose on occasion, not to mention the countless Iranians murdered in that time. Enough was enough.

But enough being enough was too much for Democrats, who don’t like the United States, and therefore oppose anything we do in our own best interest. The only valid use of American power, by a President who isn’t a Democrat, is to bow to our enemies in the hope they won’t hurt us. Well, the Trump administration is done taking punches and asking if the hand of the country that hit us is okay. To the extent Democrats understand that concept, they hate it.

With the exception of John Fetterman, there isn’t a Democrat – in elected office with a press pass pretending to be a journalist – who isn’t confused by the concept of America acting in its own best interest, and isn’t disgusted by it. The United States has actively decapitated a literal fascist regime and scumbags like Chris Murphy, who recently left his wife and kids for a much younger liberal activist, claiming Trump is the real problem in the world. 

Just how gross these people are cannot be overstated.

While many old wounds are being reopened in regards to the acts of Iran that went unanswered for decades (including Robert Stethem, who was killed by Iranian proxies in 1985 during a hijacking, as I learned from a caller to my radio show who’d gone to high school with the murdered Navy man), they are also being put to rest, finally. Imagine how relieved the Iranian people must feel; Iranian women are emerging from the fear of rape and imprisonment, even death, for the “crime” showing their hair. 

Then look at Democrats, who simply must oppose anything Donald Trump does because Donald Trump did it. They spent a week attacking the gold medal winning Olympic hockey team because they laughed at a joke Trump told. 

The last time America won a gold in hockey there were 52 Americans being held by the Iranian Islamists, 46 years later that regime paid the ultimate price for robbing those people of more than a year of their lives. Democrats cheered in 1980, they now stand in opposition to all of it. It’s enough to make you wonder whose side they’re really on, isn’t it?
