Not sure if it is sickness or some bizarre mindset that's expected of the "hip" set. Problem is for those fuckers... they're now the goddam establishment (they won the legislature and executive branches) but they act like spoiled children whose parents just don't understand.

Anyway... can't believe I'm actually addressing his assertion but just to provide some data...

here's Freedomhouse's "freedom" map. Green = free Red = Not free the other color = partly free. Snagged it from wiki

Notice that Iran is red and we are green Feez...






As far as rankings go they assign 2 rankings; political rights and civil liberties. The lower the number the freer the society. The US gets a 1 and a 1. Iran gets a 6 and a 6. http://www.freedomhouse.org/uploads/...aphsForWeb.pdf

He's turned his political outlook into a kind of faith. He believes what he chooses to believe; Iran is not worse than the US inspite of copious amounts of evidence to the contrary.
