Why many of you thought the U.S is giving 7 billion to Iran is absurd.
"Conservatives" of the knee-jerk patriot variety are breathtakingly stupid.

But, but, the absurd is today's reality. Some people read one thing and translate it into quite another.

We actually did give such to North Korea with results seen in Clinton era. Perhaps why many in congress are skeptical about this deal.Doesn't sound like many experts actually think this is much of a deal and only temporary. some say Obama needs a dog's tail to wag and Iran was on the brink like USSR as far as economy.Anytime he quotes Reagan I don't think he is convinced of Kerry's success.

Absurd because it's something we regularly do?

U.S. quietly releasing $1.6B in Pakistan assistance

They are right wing extremists and believe anything about Obama no matter how absurd it may seem.

I thought Reagan made up for that by selling our enemies weapons?

What does it say about you, if you have to buy all your friends.
You know they will take your money and talk behind your back, what they really think of you.

You people believe the most idiotic things. The money comes from frozen Iranian assets, not from tax revenue. Sheesh.
