A Gallup poll revealed last year that just 36 percent of Democrats view themselves as patriotic. The Democratic party has never come to grips with the fact too many of their rank and file hate America? That isn’t a healthy sign for a thriving nation.

The war in Iran is now on Day 5 (March 4). America and Israel have dominance of air and sea, but that hasn’t stopped Iran from propagandizing to the world a version of events that don’t reflect reality.

This war has already exposed western leftists and Islamists who cheer on the Islamic regime in Tehran while the people most impacted by the regime danced in the streets at the word of Ali Khameini’s death.

This war also shows:

* Israel has amazing intel on the ground to kill multiple Iranian leaders in single attacks. Each one of them eliminated is better for the world.

* The U.S. revealed the weakness of Chinese-made defense systems in Venezuela and Iran. However, China was helping Iran and something that put Iran at a competitive advantage. It is one of the things that convinced the U.S. to act.

* A vast history of Iran attacks on the U.S. over 47 years.

* Under the right circumstances where the mullahs no longer have power, the west will need to eliminate sanctions on Iran quickly to give that leader the opportunity to succeed.
