As I write this, there are tens of thousands of Iranian citizens filling the streets in protest. They are protesting rigged elections in Iran that put the insane dictator, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, back in power. And they are giving their lives...just to make this statement.
Just put the word Iran in the search engine of your Twitter... and read the pleas for help and cries for justice that are going out by the thousands from Iranians with cell phones.
They are telling of injustices and abuse that we, in America can only imagine. Of government militia riding motor scooters into crowds and slinging axes, knives and electric batons at them. Children are dying...as I write this.
A woman wept and told of just seeing a twelve year old boy die near her...just an hour ago. And another woman near her was shot in the head... but asking...for freedom.
This is a travesty...and what is our "president" doing about it? Is he giving them any encouragement at all in their quest for freedom. Nope. He is silent on the matter. Silent.
And their pitiful cries for someone to stand with them...for America, who is supposed to be a beacon of light and hope to those less fortunate...are going unheeded.
If you will take a moment to notice the next time you watch the news...their signs are in English. English, people. They do not speak English. Don't you wonder why their signs are in English??
Because they are crying out to the free world to hear them...to help them. To, at least stand with them in their hour of desperation. Will you?
If you Twitter...just go write a message of hope. Of prayer. Of encouragement. Trust me...someone there will read it...and it may be the last thing they read. Because, they are dying for what they believe...right now. This moment.
And while they are dying in Iran... our Pentagon has just issued a test as part of a mandatory anti-terrorism refresher course that has among the questions, "Which of the following is an example of low-level terrorism activity?"
Want to know the answer? Ok...let's look at the choices.
The exam taker is given four possible answers: "Attacking the Pentagon," "IEDs," "Hate crimes against racial groups," and... "Protests." The correct answer was... protests. Protests?
Does anyone still have a copy of the constitution? Or did we throw them all out and consider them unnecessary when Obama the "chosen one" took office?
Listen folks...this is serious. This is dead serious. To equate citizens expressing themselves to any degree with terrorism.. is headed down a road where all dissent is suspect and questionable. It is headed down the road that Iran is on...right now...as I write this. Please take a moment to pray for them. Pray for God to help them in their quest for freedom. And for Him to help America...in our current struggle to maintain ours. Kate~
