More delusion from Kerry. They chant “Death to America” in Tehran and he thinks they’re being “helpful” against the Islamic State? They’re not being helpful. They’re looking out for their own interests, trying to secure a client state in Iraq. And that client state will hate America as much as Iran and ISIS do.
“John Kerry: Iran ‘helpful’ in fighting ISIS in Iraq,” by Theodore Schleifer, CNN, June 28, 2016 (thanks to Christian):

(CNN)Secretary of State John Kerry on Tuesday deemed Iran’s presence in Iraq to be “helpful” to American attempts to beat back the threat of ISIS, given their common enemy.
The measured praise for a country with which the U.S. has a fraught relationship came at the Aspen Ideas Festival, where the secretary of state was asked to assess whether Iran was “more helpful or more harmful” there.

“Look, we have challenges with Iran as everybody knows and we are working on those challenges,” Kerry said. “But I can tell you that Iran in Iraq has been in certain ways helpful, and they clearly are focused on ISIL-Daesh, and so we have a common interest, actually.”
Kerry was using a different name for ISIS.
The top U.S. diplomat explained that he and his Iranian counterparts could now more easily solve global crises and directly communicate.
Brent McGurk, the U.S. special envoy tasked with defeating ISIS, said earlier Tuesday that Iran-backed Shi’ite militias are mostly helpful in Iraq, though some go rogue.
“We think most of these popular mobilization forces do operate under the control of the Iraqi state, but about 15-20% of them actually do not,” McGurk said. “And those groups are a fundamental problem.”

I swear, it seems like ALL those who are in government positions have been brain washed or threatened. Something is going on, and I think the Muslim Brotherhood is behind it all. Oh, and their master Obama. GET THESE AHOLES OUT OF OUR COUNTRY NOW!!!!

OK, Iran has the same major problem the US does, (as i was told) they want to be a prosperous peaceful nation but they have a muslim in charge F-N everything up. The people (christian/muslim) want one thing- but muslim(s) are in charge of the government do what ever they want and dont tell the people anything but lies. They hate the US- thats not a real problem for us becuase we dont need them anyway. They are involved because they are under pressure from isreal, saudi.and such. Witch are our allies also- remeber Hillary dumped $165-Billion in weapons across all them countrys to fund and arm all these civil wars. Thats also how the weapons ended up in the wrong hands- Hillary. She’s probably single handed responsible for more deaths than Hitler. Kerry- he sucks and he lies, he’s our problem.

I am disgusted! My disgust is compounded by my fear for the
younger generation of American’s and future generations. I fear that many
within this last category do not recognize what terrible times they will face,
as the world continues to burn, and evil stalks our streets. Though the world
is facing a monumental colossus that intends to compel absolute domination, our
now leaders seem to purposely ignore the evil out there, and our younger generation of American’s no longer seem to recognize what they must do
to continue to preserve their status and the freedoms they enjoy as
American’s. With Obama and his followers, including Hillary and her kind, adopting first the “politically correct” approach of apparently refusing to identify the underlying problem and actively commit to destroy that problem, which, to me, is burying one’s head in the sand, while refusing to face the common facts that the evil emanates from the Islamic world, is suicidal. To continue to refuse to even formally
recognize the threat of the radicals within Islam, and to continue to refuse to
call the problem as Islam related is down and out stupidity. If those within
the world of Islam, who do not realize and condemn the radical philosophy that
is represented by Jihad, and they also refuse to actively speak out against
that reality, all may be lost, and this country will be overrun. They have
declared war on us. They intend to dominate us. They have no compunction about
killing innocents, since “infidels” are not considered “innocents.” They
wrongly believe in an afterlife of “honey” and they have no respect for life
and all its beauty. These monsters are a threat to every peace loving citizen
worldwide; yet our leaders seem to cavalierly ignore the threat that they
present. WHY? We must “take back” our country from these people who will
continue to lead us to the precipice. We must “make America great again.” Our
great system of freedom and equality, and due process is in jeopardy. May we
meet the challenge and defeat our enemies.

democrats are a mindless type of human that is incapable of cognizant thought or relevant action. They are creatures of impulse, pseudo emotion and reflex, they have no real intelligence. They show it with every decision or statement they make.

There is little discipline or morality left in the USA. The globalists and totalitarians have made their way into government by lying to the people and presenting themselves as something they are not.
It has become quite evident that we have a government presided over by criminals who have used the main stream media as a propaganda arm. They now tell obvious lies and don’t even care that we know they are lying.
These people are not idiots. Far from it. They are organized and financed by the international socialists and the Arab petro dollar arrangement.
The white house is occupied by a moslem and the totalitarian party (democrats) are working in coordination with him to allow a huge influx of illegals and foreigners of all stripes in the hopes of establishing a one party rule from which we cannot escape other than through civil war. That is why they are making such great efforts to disarm us.

America has had one civil war, became a nation from a war of independence, and is quite familiar with war as a means of political expedience. The democrats were the party of slavery in the civil war, nothing has changed.

The leftist infection of public schools, government, institutes of ‘higher learning’ and all forms of media have come to fruition in obliterating morality, critical thinking, reasoning, hard work, discipline, and replaced it with laziness, unaccountability, immorality, lies, intolerance to the extent a lot of people are incapable of any form of critical thinking. Notice today how most people will start a statement with “I feel” instead of “I think”. They have substituted what they should be thinking about for what the left tells them to feel.

You have defined the situation quite nicely. Over simplification of the universal equality of mankind is a major mistake. We are all individuals, we are not all equal, it is necessary to compromise and develop tolerance for society to function. The best bad example, is of any islamic state, where there is no compromise, tolerance or a functional progressive society. What is there, is an inward spiralling self destructive force that cannot control the individual, or society, because the mechanism of control, specifically human self control is artificially manipulated in the interests of a half wit who hallucinated the insanity of the demon within.

Thank you, ma’am, it was the valid question in your first comment, as to what we were thinking, that deserved an answer from some honest introspection of an American. What you say is true. The over simplification of universal equality of mankind has not led us to a more tolerant society where compromise, based on the different strengths of different individuals, serves in pursuit of common goals. Instead, it has led us to a more Orwellian ‘Animal Farm’ type ideology, where society is being led to believe that some are more equal than others. Then when you factor in islam, which wants to be equal and then more equal until there is no equal, the destruction should be self evident, but with no capacity for critical thinking, it’s impossible to recognize the source of destruction and adjust accordingly.

What does Kerry know? During the Paris Peace Talks to end the Vietnam War, he twice met with the enemy North Vietnamese delegation while still a member of the officer corps of the US Naval Reserve, an act defined as treason.
