Liberals are tripping all over themselves rushing to the nearest microphone or social media platform to rant, rave and froth at the mouth regarding the military action against Iran.

Liberals, be they elected, or members of the propaganda media or garden-variety liberals on social media are claiming that they have no idea what the “objective” of the action against Iran is, or that the Trump administration has offered conflicting justifications for it. These liberals are quite frankly…feigning ignorance. In the video below, Scott Jennings answers the CNN panel’s questions clearly, but notice the smugness and fake claims of not understanding why what’s happening is happening.

To say, ‘well, okay you kill a few Iranian regime members, but they have more people,’ would have been like saying during WWII, ‘well, okay Hitler’s dead but we’re talking about Germany here…they have more people.’ That is a weak, feckless, lazy and bogus argument being made by liberals, and those making that argument know it. Those spewing such nonsense are either elected, or members of the liberal propaganda media, and the only reason they’re saying it is for the purpose of indoctrinated propaganda parrots to repeat it endlessly on social media.

Those on social media simple-mindedly reposting what they’re told to repost or parroting the typical liberal talking points may well be dumbed down enough by indoctrination to actually have no idea what the objective of the action against Iran actually is, but there is no excuse for those issuing the talking points, be they elected or media propagandists. They know exactly what the objective is…and they hate it. Now, to be fair, there are those on our side of the political aisle who have various theories regarding WHY the liberals hate the objective behind this military action, and to some point, they are correct. But I’ll take a couple of steps back to see the bigger picture and tell you exactly what the liberal elite are hoping you don’t figure out.

Let’s start with the obvious common sense theories. Liberals hate President Trump, therefore they hate it when he does what must be done for long-term security. True enough. Liberals hate America and they want America to lose. Again…true enough. And liberals just want to block and disrupt anything and everything Trump tries to do. Yep.

But the root cause of the liberal angst regarding blasting the terrorist Iranian regime to hell goes back to before Trump ever ran for office.

Let me explain.

In the days leading up to the 2008 election, Barack Hussein Obama said, “We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.” Transforming into what? Transforming away from what? He didn’t elaborate, but what did he do right after his election? He embarked on the “apology tour,” in which Obama hop-scotched around the globe apologizing for American exceptionalism, American leadership, American power and America’s position on the world stage. That tour included the Middle East (Turkey, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt) and shortly after that apology tour, Obama addressed the United Nations saying…“The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.”

That quote should come as no surprise, as in 2007, Obama said, “The most beautiful sound in the world is the Muslim call to prayer at sundown.”

Other quotes from Obama on the subject include, “Islam has a proud tradition of tolerance.” “Islam has always been part of America.” “Islam is not part of the problem in combating violent extremism — it is an important part of promoting peace.” In these quotes, and so many others Obama has uttered over the years, he acts as a propagandist for the radical ideology of islamists, but there is yet another quote in the long list of such quotes from Obama that should really catch your attention…“I made clear that America is not — and never will be — at war with Islam.” In other words…it can be argued that Obama may well have been signaling radical Islam that he would offer no resistance should the ideology rear its head again as it did on a clear September morning in 2001.

I suspect that the “fundamental transformation of America” was underway, and remember too that Obama shunned the term, “radical Islam,” trying to lump the Muslim religion and the radical ideology into one “peaceful” entity…which is foolishly, and dangerously deceptive.

Long before Obama’s apology tour, and long before he uttered so many glowing tributes to the islamists, Iran had already established themselves as the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism, and their influence in the Middle East was growing proxy by proxy. Obama then undertook perhaps the most diabolical aspect of his foreign policy…”leading from behind.” Rather than standing on the world stage, front and center challenging the despots of the Middle East, Obama stood in the wings, and from behind the curtain he engineered one vacuum of power in the region after another.

The Arab Spring forced longtime dictator Hosni Mubarak to resign leading to a vacuum which was soon filled by Mohamed Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood…radical Islamists. Obama then helped to create another vacuum of power in Libya engineering the fall of Muammar Gaddafi in 2011. To be clear, Gaddafi was still a dictator until the end, but before his removal in 2011, Muammar Gaddafi had largely rehabilitated his image internationally during the 2000s, shifting from a pariah state sponsor of terrorism to an ally against Islamic extremism. It’s not hard to believe that in Obama’s eyes, Gaddafi had to go, and go he did. Filling that vacuum of power was again, the Muslim Brotherhood, along with Ansar al-Sharia and the Benghazi Revolutionaries Shura Council (linked to Al-Qaeda) as well as an expansion of ISIS and various Islamist militias.

We all know what happened in Benghazi at our embassy in September 2012.

Obama’s withdrawal of American troops in Iraq in 2011 created a vacuum of power filled by the resurgence of Sunni jihadists, which ultimately developed into ISIS, and Obama’s refusal to take action after his pretend “red line” was crossed in Syria led to Russia and Iran strengthening their positions in the Middle East region.

I believe what Obama was doing was making sure radical Islam would gain power at the future expense of our nation, and of course Israel thus creating the opportunity for Islamic terrorism to “fundamentally transform America,” from a superpower to a nation on its knees…but that would take time, and Obama’s two terms in office had run out of that precious commodity.

That’s why Hillary Clinton was anointed BY Obama as his successor. Remember, Hillary played a key role in the vacuum of power in Libya as well as the deadly situation in Benghazi where four brave Americans were murdered by radical Islamists. She also hit “the reset button” with Russia paving the way for Putin to expand his influence in the Middle East and more closely align with Iran. As Secretary of State under Obama, Hillary Clinton was involved in key stages of negotiations for the 2015 Iranian nuclear deal paving the way for Iran to ramp up their quest to become a nuclear armed Islamist regime. I believe that Hillary Clinton was chosen by Obama to protect and ensure that Iran could finish what they had started…but she lost, and one of the very first things President Trump did in his first term, was shred that horrible Iranian nuclear deal.

If all of this isn’t enough, right before he left office in January 2016, Obama transferred $1.7 billion in cash to Iran, which consisted of a $400 million principal payment in cash, stacked on wooden pallets and flown into Iran on a cargo plane, and $1.3 billion in interest along with easing sanctions against the terrorist regime.

Then, there was this…In September 2023, the Biden administration issued a waiver allowing the transfer of another $6 billion in frozen Iranian oil revenue from South Korea to accounts in Qatar, which were supposedly strictly restricted to humanitarian trade (food, medicine) and not for direct use by the Iranian government…BUT…less than a month later, on October 7, 2023, one of Iran’s well-funded and supplied proxies, Hamas attacked Israel murdering more than 1200 Israeli men, women and children…but Obama’s puppet, Joe Biden wasn’t done. In addition to the $6 billion he had already gifted to Iran, Biden then issuing waivers allowing Iran to access yet another roughly $10 billion in electricity revenue that had been held in Iraq. 

My, oh my.

And now, here we are with President Trump doing what should have been done 47 years ago, or at any time over the past 47 years and the liberals are flaming mad. To claim that they have no idea what the objective of this action is, is disingenuous at best, and a flat-out lie by any honest measure. They know full-well that the objective is to put an end to any aspirations of the terroristic Iranian regime to have a nuclear weapon, to end Iran’s ability to hold the Middle East and the rest of the world hostage to their murderous ideology, and in fact, to end the regime once and for all…but that’s not what the liberal elite are fuming about.

It’s three-fold.

1. The liberal elite are furious that Trump is undoing everything Obama envisioned and paid for regarding Iran.
2. Elected liberals are fuming because they didn’t authorize the action and thus, can’t pack funding bills full of pork projects and kickbacks to enrich themselves.

And 3) The U.S. military that the liberal elite AND elected liberals tried so hard to fundamentally transform into a clown-show has come roaring back and is kicking Iran’s ass.

As a handful of bonus reasons for the liberals being royally pissed, the current action against Iran has both Russia and China on their energy heels, the Arab states are taking our side and starting to align with Israel, the military hardware China and Russia supplied to Iran is an abject failure, and Putin’s chief supplier of deadly cheap drones to use against Ukraine has dried up.

Unlike Obama, Trump is leading from the front, and the only ally Iran seems to have left is the democrat party.

That’s the bottom line.
