Man Who Thought Taliban are in Iraq Endorses Iran Deal

The media is filled with stories touting the Iran deal.

86 professors of theology have written a letter endorsing Iran's nukes. 422 Irish gardeners have a letter endorsing the IAEA's plan to have Iran inspects itself. 29 homeless people have a letter asking for free beer and Iranian nukes.

In all thus hubbub, little attention is paid to what kinds of idiots sign on to these letters. Here's one of the more ridiculous ones from yesterday's article

In 2008, Elliot Dorff joined Rabbis for Obama in their claim that Senator Obama would be a “leader in the fight against serious threats to Israel.”

Dorff, a Beverly Hills-based clergyman, showed a deep grasp of geopolitical issues when he claimed that because of President Bush, “now the Taliban inhabit Iraq, where they never used to be.” This would have come as news to both the Taliban and Iraq.

But Rabbis for Obama kept Dorff’s testimonial up because no one there seemed to know any better or know anything except how awful Israel is.

Dorff's entire endorsement is a ridiculous rant, which I'll publish here because of the way it encapsulates the delusional mindset and irrational anger of the Bush years that allowed a radical leftist with no actual experience to run the country into the ground.

Absolutely nothing is better now for our country than it was eight years ago, when George Bush took office. He inherited a budgetary surplus; he leaves us -- and our children and grandchildren -- with the largest deficit we have ever had. In the process, the dollar has sunk in value in comparison to other currencies, to the point that it is a laughing stock and source of pity for Americans who travel there. That is fiscal irresponsibility of the largest magnitude. He has thwarted embryonic stem cell research, leaving many people without the cures that we might have had by now. He has done nothing to develop alternative sources of energy, choosing instead to befoul our environment and our dependence on foreign nations by focusing on oil alone. He has intentionally ignored any scientific findings that he does not like, leaving us with government support only for abstinence-only programs of teenage sexual education -- programs for which we have solid evidence that they do not work -- and with total denial of, and certainly no programs to diminish, global warming. He has neglected the infrastructure of our roads and bridges. He has pursued the wrong war that is responsible for thousands of American deaths and hundreds of thousands of Americans maimed physically or psychologically -- and now the Taliban inhabit Iraq, where they never used to be. He simply pulled out of long-term agreements with other nations and has undermined our ties with virtually all of our former allies. He abandoned New Orleans after Katrina. He created No Child Left Behind and then did not fund it. And he has curtailed our civil rights in multiple ways, both directly through his own policies and indirectly through his Supreme Court appointments. Bush is undoubtedly the worst President during my lifetime and possibly ever, and McCain voted with Bush 95% of the time. This country simply cannot afford any more of the Bush-Cheney-McCain policies. Obama, by contrast, offers us intelligence, caring, individual rights, well-thought-out programs for improvement in education and health care -- and, yes, wise and firm support for Israel and for peace in the Middle East.

And yes it's all one paragraph. Just be glad there are periods.

Somehow though I suspect Elliot Dorff has learned to love big deficits, fiscal irresponsibility, pursuing the wrong wars, causing thousands of American deaths, undermining all our former allies and making America a laughing stock and a source of pity.

But at least we won't be promoting abstinence to teenagers.

Elliot Dorff didn't actually know the difference between Afghanistan and Iraq. Now he's endorsing an Iran deal. He probably thinks Iran is in Australia and is run by that nice Imam he sometimes does interfaith work with.

And there are hundreds of partisan idiots like him signing letters based on their titles when they can barely see the screen through the red-dimmed haze in their eyes. They still suffer from Bush Derangement Syndrome and would rather see Iran get nukes than admit they were wrong.
