BIG "O" HAS SOME WORK TO DO...

Well, the whole world full of our enemies are gonna beat their swords into plowshares if we elect Obama as President...they're gonna till the land...stop chopping off US soldiers heads (and journalists for that matter), and "we'll all be drinkin' that free bubble-up, and eatin' that rainbow stew."

When the "Iranian Hostage Crisis" broke out in Tehran back in the 70's, my older brother was attending Louisiana Tech. I was still in High School at the time, but Chip was on campus when Iranian students (who were over here to learn about Petroleum Engineering, as LA Tech is one of the best educational institutions to learn how to get oil from this rock we live on) decided to hold an anti-American rally in support of their beloved Ayatolla Khomeni, and their civilized fellow students back in Iran who had decided to take matters into their own hands.

The protest involved the burning of several things...one was a picture of Jimmy Carter, which I applauded...(Strike that!!!...it ain't Christian to speak ill of people, no matter how much you would like to). Well, suffice it to say that Louisiana Tech is not the best place for Iranians to hold a protest in the late 1970's...the on-campus student reaction was not PC. It was not a pretty sight from what I remember.

But it seems that they get more grace from home folks. Here is what they think of the peaceful, tolerant "Big O."
