I'm the "Villain" Again

 

Once again fellow bloggers Infidel and Darrell inspire my politically incorrect rant and despicable thoughts. 

Since both Darrell and Infidel have silenced my views from their comment threads, I’ll once again offer my snark-seasoned, yet somehow rational, remarks here. Readers may recall my thoughts about their positions on Trump’s war in a previous post.

Since I’m getting comfortable being the outcast and villain at both Infidel’s and Darrell’s blogs, I’ll be happy to extend this discussion here at my blog.

 ~~~~~~~~~~~

Infidel:

The regime's thugs had specifically ordered hospital staff not to help wounded people.  It has always been well known that rape and torture of detainees is part of the theocracy's standard treatment of dissidents.  This is part of what will just go on and on with no end in sight, if the regime is not overthrown.

----

Does this remind anyone else of ICE? Despite ramifications of the Criminal President Trump’s war of choice in the US and across the globe, Infidel doesn’t want any discussion of domestic politics around the War Criminal’s war. But this paragraph BEGS for it.

Yes, let’s ignore the Criminal President and his ICE thugs for taking the same path. That stuff is only bad when Iranians do it, right?

Pay no attention to how ICE thugs ordered a doctor away from examining Renee Goode, who was just murdered by one of them. After all, she and Alex Pretti were just a couple “domestic terrorists” who got what they deserved. We’re NOTHING like Iran, amirite? Just accept Hegseth’s wrapping his war in Christianity because that’s nothing like Christian nationalist theocracy. 

Pay no attention to the rapes, abuse, and neglect suffered by thousands of non-violent immigrants in Trump’s concentration camps. We mustn’t draw attention to how our Criminal Crusader demands dissidents he calls “traitors” to be arrested by his corrupted and politicized “Justice” Department.

Let’s forget about all the summary executions in Minneapolis, on the open seas, in Venezuela, or in Trump’s next war on Cuba. Hospital patients on ventilators are dying as his embargo on their oil is shutting down their electricity. (You commies got a problem with that?)

 

And finally let’s not consider the extreme likelihood that Trump’s reckless bombing of scores of schoolgirls will only inflame MORE anti-American terrorism. Or will their families also “greet us with flowers” like in Iraq? But what do I know? I’m not an “expert” on the Middle East and this is no time to consider the lessons to be drawn from America’s tragic history of meddling in the Middle East. Fear not, for Donald Trump is the “only one” who can fix it.

Yeah, that’s the ticket.

Infidel pronounces his judgment for those of us who dissent:

We will soon be hearing -- have already been hearing -- from the most twisted and ugly and morally depraved elements within the US.  The types who view this conflict as just one more opportunity for petty domestic political point-scoring.  The ones who would happily leave the theocracy in power in Iran, at a staggering cost in human suffering, if they fear its fall might be perceived as a "win" for Trump.  The vile Israel-haters of the far left and far right have already oozed forth with their Der Stürmer conspiratardia about evil Jewish manipulation of the US.  Don't listen to them.

---

Um, didn’t Trump’s director of the National Counterterrorism Center Joe Kent just resign, saying: “I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby."

We are advised, “Don’t listen to them”, so forget about Netanyahu pressuring his fellow authoritarian Trump to join his war. It never happened if we don’t think about it, or read about it, or notice his six visits with Trump in the past year. To do so would be tantamount to “happily leaving the theocracy in power in Iran”, or something like that.

For suggesting Trump is only compounding the suffering and deaths of Iranians and Israelis alike, it would seem Darrell and Infidel would agree that I represent “the most twisted and ugly and morally depraved elements within the US”.  But, hey, not everybody can be as moral as Netanyahu, Donald Trump, and his henchmen. People like me just can’t keep from objecting to a war of choice waged by war criminals who have been feeding us their lies and unbridled hate all along.  It seems our “petty domestic political point-scoring” is clearly transforming us into being “antisemitic” and “anti-American”. This demonization and smearing is what we get for objecting to a reckless and incompetent war criminal, but I’m used to it by now.

If only we’d just keep repeating, “Iran was two weeks away from a nuclear weapon and we’d all be dead by now if not for Trump and Netanyahu”. It would make us FEEL so much better about Trump’s FEELING the need to start a war. For good measure, and adding a touch of Christian nationalism, we may join with Hegseth in asking Americans to pray “in the name of Jesus Christ” for a victory in the Iran War. For God is ALWAYS on America’s side, and always on Israel’s side, no matter how many kids we kill. Can I get an amen?

Now it’s time for a “real American Patriot” to chime in.

Darrell:
I do not understand the antisemitism and the cheering for America to fail simply to not give the opposing political party a "win". That is a twisted way of thinking and a complete lack on awareness of the evils of the Iranian regime perpetrated over nearly 50 years. The ignorance and unwitting support for such an evil theocratic regime by some Americans is disgusting. I pray that the Iranian people stand up and finish the job to remove the theocracy and to govern themselves.

Infidel:

Darrell: It's the result of how toxic and polarized politics has become. Scoring points over the other "team" has become more important than actually getting positive goals accomplished. Most Americans know very little about Iran, so they view this situation entirely through the lens of US politics -- thus their reactions to it are irrelevant.

------

Indeed. Objecting to Trump joining war criminal Netanyahu’s war is now “cheering for America to fail” or at the minimum displaying one’s “ignorance and unwitting support for such an evil theocratic regime”.

Speaking of the Israeli war criminal with the blood of tens of thousands of children on his hands, he’s showing the same affection for dictators as our Tangerine Tyrant.

Infidel and Darrell share a blind faith in Dear Leader’s blundering, brutal, and bloody aggression, accepting any cost to America, and refusing to hold a vile tyrant like Trump accountable for his war crimes. I will not and cannot agree with this.

I cannot find comfort in whatever the war’s consequences may be for the rest of us. Would paying higher gas and energy prices that leaves less money for food, shelter and healthcare for Americans also be "irrelevant"? Would a recession and increased terrorism be equally "irrelevant"? I suppose 13 dead Americans in uniform and their mourning families are "irrelevant". (How many more Americans must die before it WOULD be relevant? Again, I’m not the expert that the pro-Trump war folks are. If experts like Bibi, Trump, Darrell, and Infidel can accept 10,000 dead Americans and a million dead Iranians why should it bother me?) 

And is it also "irrelevant" that Trump's pal Putin is the only clear winner in this war? With sanctions lifted and his oil profits doubling, Putin can slaughter more Ukrainians. Another gift to Putin from Trump via Iranians is how to shoot down US F-35 jets.

So far this is all acceptable with Infidel and Darrell, even without the fall of the theocratic regime in Iran. All glory to our criminal Dear Leader. 

What happens in the event this Khamenei to Khamenei succession is the only regime change we’ll get? Do we proceed to invade and occupy Iran? Do we keep bombing Iran in perpetuity, or until a bloody civil war breaks out with both sides hating us? Is no cost in lives and treasure too high? Is this our nation's most urgent priority? Oops. BAD Dave! No more treasonous, antisemitic, twisted and ugly and morally depraved questions from YOU!

The Criminal President’s Crusade for Goodness shouldn’t be questioned. That would be downright unpatriotic, pro-theocratic tyranny, and probably communism. Right, Darrell? For in addition to being a communist, I’m now “twisted and ugly and morally depraved”, unlike the Party of Trump suppressing the Epstein files. After all, it’s ONLY child molesting and rape, for Pete’s sake. I’m guessing that stuff is also only bad when Iranians do it.

Maybe there’s a final solution for people like me who dissent. Republicans are working on it. It begins with demonizing us as communists, Ayatollah lovers, and domestic terrorists, followed by blatant suppression of our free press and our right to vote, assembly and free speech.

But never mind all that. We should just remember we’ve always been at war with Iran. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength. And we love Big Brother Don the Con for protecting us, destroying evil, and liberating the world.

Our stable genius couldn’t possibly fail. As the malevolent and mendacious man Infidel and Darrell trust to fix Iran and the Middle East said, “Sometimes you need a dictator”. 

Why not give this fascist criminal and protector of child molesters with unaccountable "presidential immunity" more power to do whatever he wants. 

What could possibly go wrong?
