U.S. Media makes Iran look scary

This was a great article about how our media makes Iran look scary.

This video shows their independence day celebration. With some spooky music and Hannity's voice in the background you might think you're watching preparations for WWIII. But if you compare it with this footage:

You'll realize that they are just celebrating their independence day. The same way we celebrate our independence from the British, and the dictatorial rule of George III, they celebrate their independence from the U.S., that had installed a puppet dictator to do our will with their country.

Our revolution happened 230 years ago, so Britain doesn't seem so threatening anymore. Whereas their independence happened only 30 years ago, and they live under constant threats of war from U.S.

If it still chills you to think someone in Iran chants "Death to America." Remember that McCain openly spoke of bombing Iran

Cheney wanted to bomb Iran.

Hannity and Beck constantly push for war with Iran.

"War with Iran" may not sound as bad as "Death to America." But our threat is more likely to happen given our past actions.

Meet Thomas Paine

"Thomas Paine came to America from Great Britain in 1774 when he was 37 years old. He burned with righteous indignation at the cruel tyranny of kings. Half a million copies of "Common Sense," his plainspoken call for rebellion, flooded this fledgling nation of three million people. His rhetoric so moved and persuaded George Washington that he read Paine's words to the troops at Valley Forge. After America won its independence, Paine found himself in another fight, the French Revolution, and wrote another best-seller, "The Rights of Man." But he got into trouble in France and was thrown into prison, narrowly avoiding execution. He returned to America in 1802, a prophet without honor in the nation he helped to create."
