Does Ogabe have a clue what this holiday commemmorates? The ratification of the document that proclaims “We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these rights are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”

And to this he invites the representatives of death, repression, and enforced misery.

May God damn Ogabe to Hell.

“Independence Forever!”

Two words were all that 90-year old patriot and former President John Adams needed to sum up the meaning of the 4th of July. Fast forward to this year’s 4th of July celebrations and you will find that our current President, Mr. Obama, is soiling the 4th of July.

According to a State Department memo, in a new overture to Iran, the Obama administration has authorized U.S. embassies around the world to invite Iranian officials to Independence Day parties they host on or around July 4th.

Good lord, what is wrong with this man. The Iranian government funds and supports terrorism around the world.

These very government officials that will be coming to our embassies, have the blood on their shoes of every U.S. solider killed fighting terrorism.

My god, man, I know you are the President, you keep telling us that at every opportunity but have you completely lost your mind!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama’s own nationalized press corp even gave him an opportunity in today’s press conference to walk away from this invitation but he didn’t.

This is getting painful to watch . . .

It is worth remembering as we watch events unfolding in Iran that the State Department and the CIA have suffered the bulk of American casualties at the hands of the Mullahs. The Americans held hostage, tortured and murdered during the ayatollah’s revolution were State Department employees. The CIA station chief in Teheran was horribly tortured for days before being slaughtered.

Then there was the Iranian bomb in Lebanon under Reagan–among the largest conventional explosions ever detonated–that killed hundreds including some of State and CIAs top people in the Middle East.

But hey, State and CIA are cool with that. Vengefulness is verbotten for these high-minded cold-blooded creatures of state and intelligence. They’re too sophisticated to allow emotionalism or personal prejudice or animosity to influence policy.

Never mind that nobody ever considered invading a Soviet embassy or torturing and killing Soviet intelligence agents precisely because brutal vengeance by the Soviet intelligence services was guaranteed. But then loyalty to comrades was the fashion among Communists. Our American foreign policy people are above that sort of thing. They are professionals who don’t take the insult, torture and murder of their own personally.

In Barack Obama, the eunuchs in Foggy Bottom finally have someone who sees things in the Middle East their way. Finally the eunuchs have someone in the White House whose scrotum sac is as shriveled and empty as their own.

Alas, for all their efforts, the Iranian dissidents insist on turning over the apple cart. Just as State and the Administration are setting the stage for capitulation of everything that makes the United States special and unique, along come these dissidents and screw it up. Now who is left for Obama to grovel and apologize and demonstrate America‘s contrition and obeisance to?

Listening to official spokesman from State day after day no one can miss that they’re behind the curve. These are the follks who failed to predict the collapse of the Soviet Union. Were negotiating away liberty until the day Communism collapsed.

No one at State or any of our intelligence services ever gets fired. Their pig-blind and ignorant lurching and stumbling rocks the nation. But no one ever walks the plank. Monstrous blunders, oversights and derelictions are forgiven and forgotten.

My favorite State Department guy is Richard Murphy. Murf the Surf. Dicky M. Grand Shill to the Shieks. The original striped pants dippy. Lantern-jawed, stentorian, Sir Richard. Knight of This, That and What Have You.

More Catholic Knighthoods hath Sir Richard than hath a dog fleas. Arthur and Lancelot and the others at the round table were mere pikers by comparison.

Every dustup in the Middle East brings Sir Richard to the network newsmikes. Offering his grave and deeply considered opinion on this that and the other. And in virtually every instance these past thirty years, events have proven Sir Richard wrong.

Yet there he is before the cameras at the next crisis. Again offering his grave and deeply considered opinions. One of the Wise Men. Gravity itself. A classic Jew-hating minister playing out his Haman’s role. An ancient enemy of Israel heaped with papist honors.

We need a housecleaning at Foggy Bottom. Think of the long file of evicted eunuchs in Bertolucci’s, The Last Emperor, carrying their shriveled privates into exile with them in little lacquered boxes. Imagine Sir Richard in striped pants at the head of the line.

This is a very poor choice of a word by his speechwriter, because of actual truth behind it. A more savy writer would have used “along with” the American people, which implies a step-in-step advance in the reaction. “Join” implies attaching oneself to a thing after the fact, especially in this case, as the American outrage has been in force for weeks. “Followed the American people” would have been more truthful yet.

I caught this just by chance on Fox while I was making coffee. That’s about the only time I watch new on TV anymore, and even then I usually turn the volume down because the voicees along with the phoney smug faces are too much to bear. In this case I actually wanted to hear what Obama said today about the protests. It was actually okay, but about a week and half too late. That’s what he gets for following and not leading.

If Obama is stupid enough to say this, it’ll be his “flying into Boznia amid a hail of bullets” moment.
