Iran Ayatollah Calls on U.S. to Join the Unfree World

by Scott Ott · 8 Comments

(2007-10-13) — In a speech that condemned the upcoming U.S.-sponsored Middle East peace conference, Iran’s Supreme Leader today called on the United Nations to impose sanctions on the United States aimed at “bringing the U.S. into the global community of unfree nations.”

“The people of the United States have lived under iron-fist of liberty for too long,” said Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, whose word is law in Iran. “We believe that deep in the human soul dwells a universal desire to submit to a more powerful person whom one can revere with quiet obedience. Americans have had to squelch this yearning for more than two centuries.”

Mr. Khamenei told a cheering Iranian crowd, “No people can long endure the shackles of a democratic regime, without finally breaking those chains and taking their place among uncivilized nations that have wisely advanced only so far as they ought.”

“With proper encouragement from the United Nations,” he added, “the American people will soon throw off the yoke of freedom, and breathe the fresh air of subservience along with their millions of brethren in the Muslim world.”

    I don’t think we are going to need any encouragement from the United Nations to “throw off the yoke of freedom”; we seem to be achieving that goal rapidly all by ourselves.

    Didn’t George “Money Talks to the DNC” Soros already have first dibs on this invitation? Or since Soros is not quite so vocal about enslavement, could we say he is a silent partner in promoting oppression? In either case, we are invited to put our collective fannies in the air before we kiss them good-bye.

    Of course, as has been so well explained long ago, our alternatives are not bondage versus freedom, but whose bonds will bonds we will carry.

    “Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
