That was a dumb misstatement on Bernie’s part, but is no one going to mention the fact that Clinton blamed him for the Sandy Hook shooting yesterday? Or that her campaign rolled out a new strategy yesterday to “disqualify him, defeat him, and unite the party later?”

So...some rapes are just for funsies?
For people curious about Iran, it should be noted that it has a solid film industry that provided us with a number of world class directors over the years who can easily be found on DVD, Netflix, etc. Sadly, the political climate of the last few years resulted in many of them leaving the country or, if staying, being…
Yeah exactly, Americans have no real idea what revolutions entail. The American Revolution happened so long ago that I seriously doubt anyone has any real emotional/personal ties to it. The creator of this was alive during the 1970 revolution and had to flee with his family. How many Americans have there been within…
Even if he was 100% legitimate,when he nationalized the oil fields and started setting up communist style communes there was very little choice.
As an Iranian-American, I think it’s great that people are learning more about the 1979 revolution. My parents were college students at the time and I heard stories about the Shah’s secret police breaking into people’s homes and arresting them/making them disappear just for owning Marxist literature. It was a…
It definitely is one of the worst outcomes of US meddling. I lived in Chile for a bit and the country is doing remarkably well despite the CIA backed military coup in '73 and subsequent dictatorship. In the case of Afghanistan during the Soviet invasion, I wonder if the US actually should have meddled more so that…
This is the exact story of the parents (and other family members) of one of my best childhood friends. His parents fled Iran, he and his two brothers were born here, parents went to university and became professionals. They all regularly participate in Iranian pro-democracy events in the US. One thing a lot of people…
I would hardly classify Iran as evil. It has a messed up government, but all the people I have met are wonderful.
To many in the West, Iran is an indistinct enemy power that seems perpetually embroiled in internal conflict, a country currently led by a volatile leadership with dangerous nuclear ambitions.
It always frustrates me to know so many Americans are completely unaware of how we as a nation helped caused the clusterfuck that is Iran today. We overturned a democratically elected government to protect our (and British) oil interests, and the dictator we put into power created the environment that allowed…
Tube.
Is this on Youtube or anywhere? Would love to see this.
It’s kinda cool just to see the “inclusive” emojis being used in context. Look at the sweet little cartoon lady-couple! What an efficient method of communication! A picture is worth a thousand squeals of delight and sighs of contentment! <3
UKIP guy - not mainstream. Not invited to the recent debate about the upcoming election. We try to keep our racists out of the running.
No. No. No.
