Former Obama Officials Show True Colors by Encouraging Europe To Take Action Against US

Even for Democrats, it’s disturbing.

American liberals might have nothing but contempt for the freedom and strength that make the country great when they’re talking in private, but they used to be smart enough to know that they had to at least pretend to be patriotic in public.

But as the Trump administration keeps pushing its agenda of putting America first, even that mask is coming off — and what’s underneath is ugly.

In an op-ed published by The New York Times on Friday, two men who served on the staff of the National Security Council in the Obama White House openly called for traditional American allies in Europe to take the side of the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism over the leader of their own country.
According to Steven Simon and Jonathan Stevens, President Donald Trump’s decision to pull the United States out of the Iran nuclear deal is an insult so grievous that European governments should consider pulling their ambassadors out of Washington — and expelling American ambassadors from their own capitals.

And do this to show their allegiance to the Islamic Republic of Iran.

This is no small thing.

According to The Times biography note, Simon is the author of a forthcoming book about U.S. foreign policy and the so-called “Arab Spring.” He was also the National Security Council’s senior director for the Middle East and North Africa from 2011 to 2012.

Stevenson, meanwhile was the “director for political-military affairs, Middle East and North Africa, at the National Security Council from 2011 to 2013.”

That would put both men in key roles in the Obama national security team while the president and his first secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, were making building a disaster of U.S. policy in Libya that helped flood Europe with millions of “migrants” today. (The disaster also included the deadly terrorist attack on the American diplomatic outpost in Benghazi that Democrats are still lying about.)

In other words, this isn’t some loony commenter at Vox joining up with a a half-stoned reader at Salon. This is the thinking of two serious — if demonstrably inept — leftist foreign policy mavens.

And it’s seriously infuriating.

First, the two men acknowledge that the different countries of Europe have different leadership, but propose “Europe” acts as a whole as an opponent of the Trump decision on the Iran deal (as though the continent is governed by a bunch of faceless bureaucrats in Brussels).

And they want Europe to defy the Trump administration’s sanctions on Iran by continuing to do business with the murderous mullahs — and make the point with diplomatic strikes of their own against the U.S.

“The European Union could, for instance, announce the withdrawal of member-states’ ambassadors from the United States. Isn’t this what states do when diplomatic partners breach solemn agreements, expose them to security risks and threaten to wreak havoc on their economies? That is, after all, what the administration is threatening to do by courting the risk of a Middle Eastern war and applying secondary sanctions to European companies. Depending on the American response, European capitals might even follow up with expulsion of American ambassadors.”

If that provokes the Trump White House, they wrote (and it certainly would), it would be time to ratchet up the pressure:

“If the administration’s next move were to impose secondary sanctions on Europe, the Europeans (sic) could slap its own penalties on American multinational corporations, which in turn would place additional pressure on the White House.”

So these two men, high-ranking national security officials in the United States government not all that long ago, are literally pushing American allies to launch a trade war with the United States.

They “justify” the argument by claiming that the Iran nuclear deal is of such crucial importance that Europe’s own commercial future is at stake, and Trump’s decision is imperiling that.

BREAKING News Out Of California… This Is OUTRAGEOUS!

A California assemblyman vehemently argued against a bill that would adopt International Workers’ Day as a paid holiday.

The bill, introduced by Assemblyman Miguel Santiago (D), would designate the third Monday in February “as a single school holiday to be known as ‘Presidents’ Day.’” He also wants designate May 1 as “International Workers’ Day.”

To up-and-doing Socialists and Communists “International Workers’ Day” means speechmaking, parading, bombs, brickbats, conscientious violence.

“Are we in competition to become the laughingstock of the United States?” Assemblyman Matthew Harper (R) asked. “This is ridiculous. This is insane.”Here’s the bill being introduced by the California communist:

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

AB 3042, as amended, Santiago. School holidays: “International Workers’ Day” and “Presidents’ Day.”
Existing law designates holidays on which all public schools and educational institutions shall close. Existing law designates the Monday or Friday of the week in which February 12 occurs as “Lincoln Day” and requires all public schools and educational institutions throughout the state to hold exercises in memory of Abraham Lincoln on the day that school is in session prior to the day on which schools are closed for that purpose. Existing law designates the third Monday in February as “Washington Day” and requires all public schools and educational institutions throughout the state to hold exercises in memory of George Washington on the Friday preceding.
This bill would authorize a school district, county office of education, or charter school, instead of observing “Washington Day” and “Lincoln Day” as separate school holidays, to designate the 3rd Monday in February as a single school holiday to be known as “Presidents’ Day,” if the school district, county office of education, or charter school designates May 1 as “International Workers’ Day” and closes its school, or schools, as applicable, on the Monday or Friday of the week in which May 1 occurs to observe “International Workers’ Day.” The bill would require schools that elect to observe “Presidents’ Day” and “International Workers’ Day,” pursuant to the bill’s provisions, to hold exercises in memory of Abraham Lincoln and George Washington and to commemorate and direct attention to the history of labor movements in the United States.
Existing law provides that all probationary or permanent employees that are a part of the classified service of a school district or county office of education shall be entitled to specified paid holidays if they are in a paid status during any portion of the working day immediately preceding or succeeding the holiday.
This bill would deem “President’s Day” and “International Workers’ Day” as paid holidays, and would remove “Lincoln Day” and “Washington Day” from being paid holidays, for these probationary or permanent employees of a school district or county office of education that elects to observe “President’s Day” and “International Workers’ Day” pursuant to the bill’s provisions.
Assemblyman Matthew Harper — California State Assemblymember for District

“Today, I argued against a bill that proposed to drop Lincoln’s Birthday or Washington’s Birthday as a school holiday and instead adopt International Socialist Workers’ Day, aka May Day, in its place.”
“Are we in competition to become the laughingstock of the United States?” Assemblyman Matthew Harper (R) asked. “This is ridiculous. This is insane.”

The bill would subsequently get rid of either George Washington or Abraham Lincoln’s birthday as a holiday and designate May 1 as “International Workers’ Day.”

International Socialist Workers’ Day, or “May Day” had been observed in countries under Communist rule and was an official holiday of the Soviet Union.

“A bill proposing to drop Lincoln’s Birthday or Washington’s Birthday as a school holiday and instead adopt International Socialist Workers’ Day aka May Day in its place for schools was considered. I argued against the Communist holiday. #AB3042 #VictoryOverCommunism #CALEG #AD74″
“Seriously, the substitution of adding International Socialist Workers’ Day? May Day? The day of parades in the Soviet Union?” Harper said.

“I’m aghast that a bill like this would be able to get through committee.”

COMMIEFORNIA. WHAT A FRICKING MESS.

Unbelievable.
