our most dangerous enemy is the cartoon character in the middle of the picture.

"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague."

Marcus Tullius Cicero
58 BC, Speech in the Roman Senate

We have seen the enemy and he is us.

The greatest enemy to the American Public is the American Public for giving undue legitimacy to any of this horseshit.

"I'LL STAND WITH ISLAM"....perhaps the only thing the muslim goat (male) fucker hasn't lied about.

But there was a lot more muslims filmed dancing around for days after 911, with Arafat in Gaza and all over MENA, HH.

The mass media have only one job to do.

What's so hard about saying Barry is queer as a three dollar bill?

If the American people are OK with that, enough said.... Tee Hee....

You are kidding I hope...if you think Iran are the good guys?

You are going to need more than hope if you think they are not the good guys.

Thu, 09/03/2015 - 16:40 | 6506164 AlfredNeumann

Iran hasn't attacked anyone in 250 years.

The USA has killed well over 10 million innocent people since 1960 ,

Guess who the bad guys are, Americunt shithead,

Fuck YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

Iran has also never nuked anyone, but lets see has, humm???

Thu, 09/03/2015 - 18:11 | 6506559 Rodent Free Corps

When did they have the ability?

That's like saying Disneyland has never nuked anyone.

My mom never nuked anyone, but she would have if she had a nuke.

Thu, 09/03/2015 - 18:23 | 6506633 Macon Richardson

Disney has nuked the brains of generations of young Americans. As to your mom, we'll have to keep an eye on her from now on.

Tribalism ("Socialism") survives by foraging, and foraging requires war against competing tribes.

Capitalism survives by growing fields and herds, and fields and herds require armed protection from foragers.

Humans that don't engage in war don't survive.

Tell that to your social studies professor.

That's how we know we are currently in a living hell, it's unsustainable by the way.

Thu, 09/03/2015 - 17:06 | 6506270 TuPhat

You are mixed up when you equate 'engaging in war' with starting a war. There is a very big difference, especially if one is engaging to defend.

Thu, 09/03/2015 - 17:43 | 6506432 2handband

150 years of field anthropology calls bullshit on your thesis. The more "civilized" the society, the more frequent and bloody are it's wars.

Fri, 09/04/2015 - 01:08 | 6507109 thebigunit

The more "civilized" (i.e. capitalistic) the society, the wealthier it is. The wealthier a society, the more the tribalist (socialist) foragers want to poach on it.

They're hunter-hunter gatherers, you know. And even dumb hunter-gatherers understand that they can eat better with less work if they forage in your garden or among your flocks, than if they try to make a living foraging on the salt flats.

So, yeah:

The more "civilized" the society, the more frequent and bloody are it's wars.

Call them wars. Or just armed discourgement of poachers and free loaders.

Thu, 09/03/2015 - 17:43 | 6506440 orez65

"Iran's never started a war..."

Iran, under previous management and doing business as "Persia" started wars all over the Middle East.

Thu, 09/03/2015 - 18:53 | 6506769 BigJim

And when was that, pray? Oh yeah, 250+ years ago...

Iran fights proxy wars.

So make a leftist argument to counter it, it's Fight Club or join the chorus line on a thousand left wing sites Or whine to your congressman for the Fairness Doctrine or as we call it Clamping down on free speech doctrine

The usual BS by neocon Ramirez. Not even slightly funny.

You're an idiot if you don't think that is how the Fuhrer sees reality.

Thu, 09/03/2015 - 16:47 | 6506195 Memedada

The "Führer" is just a marionet/puppet on strings. Dem. or rep. - same masters/the owners of "your" country.

But you will still vote regardless won't you. Stay home and withdraw your consent if you really believe that.
Remember, if you vote you can't complain because you asked for it good and hard.

Thu, 09/03/2015 - 18:58 | 6506790 BigJim

Lulz, the usual mantra says that if you DON'T vote you have no right to complain, because you made no "efforts" to change the system

I'm not a US-'citizen'/pleb. So no,I will not participate in the next US-theatre called an election.

Netanyahu on either side chowing down on pork in an Italian restaurant would be funnier.

Look at his rhetoric since he "wrote" TWO autobiographies. Presidente transparent has telegraphed his position from the get go.

"To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists and punk-rock performance poets. We smoked cigarettes and wore leather jackets. At night, in the dorms, we discussed neocolonialism, Franz Fanon, Eurocentrism, and patriarchy. When we ground out our cigarettes in the hallway carpet or set our stereos so loud that the walls began to shake, we were resisting bourgeois society's stifling conventions. We weren't indifferent or careless or insecure. We were alienated.

But this strategy alone couldn't provide the distance I wanted, from Joyce or my past. After all, there were thousands of so-called campus radicals, most of them white and tenured and happily tolerant. No, it remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names."

Until the bombs start falling on Tehran. Hopefully that never happens and that Ramirez hack gets a real job.

Iran is making a big mistake making a deal with the USA. America is NEVER to be trusted EVER.. They break deals and treaties all the time.

The embassy hostages were spies and should have been shot immediately

And the USA INTENTIONALLY shot down an Iranian airbus with 300 civilians,

And don't forget what the USA did to Iran in 1953 . overthrew a democratically elected President and installed a murderous dictator that made Saddam look like a choir boy.
