Have you heard about Pastor Saeed Abedini? Do you know who he is? If you do, then you certainly know what the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) is, don't you? I know I do and anyone who even gives a minute and a half a week to Fox News knows the story of Pastor Abedini.
For those of you who don't, I am not going to bore you with all the details. Suffice to say, I definitely know you never heard his story on Lame Stream Media news channels.
Why not? Well, perhaps it would upset the narrative that the Obama Administration is spinning about the Muslim Theocracy of Iran. It is certainly not a republic, at least any Republic to which I pledge my allegiance.
It has been reported, it seems forever, by the ACLJ and its founders, Jordan and Jay Sekulow, the horrid treatment Saeed has received for well over a year for having preached Christianity in Iran. The latest article filed by Jordan Sekulow in the ACLJ JOURNAL reveals that the Pastor has been beaten again in prison, shackled in the hospital and beaten again.
Naghmeh Abedini, Pastor Saeed's Iranian-American wife, has petitioned Barry and John, and Hillary before him, to help her husband gain his release, to no avail. When Kerry had the opportunity in December and January to force linkage of the Pastor's release to the easing of sanctions, he did NOTHING to gain the Pastor's freedom.
Barry could have made a public show of support for Pastor Abedini, and his wife's pleas and what did he do? That's right folks; instead he flew to Hawaii for HIS family's Christmas vacation, while the Abedini children and Mrs. Abedini did not enjoy theirs because their daddy and husband were abandoned by our government in Rajai Shahr Prison in Iran.
This is just another disgrace by this President and his stooges to ignore the needs of American citizens for some unrealized goal he has with radical Islam.
Pastor Abedini, an Iranian-born American, was captured on September 26, 2012 (note the date) for preaching a religion he converted to 15 years ago and he was sentenced to eight years in prison for this "crime" against this theocracy. Attempts to speak with various Iranian officials by ACLJ and others have fallen on deaf ears, usually ending with the statement "the government does not want to get involved in an ongoing criminal process." Sound familiar? Yes, it did to me, too.
Now, it is fast approaching two years in prison for the Pastor and there is still no conversation by Barry and his gang. Why not? Why isn't the LSM holding Barry's feet to this fire? There is no liberal v conservative, Democrat v Republican, special interest at stake here. Only the freedom of an American citizen from one of the worst prisons in the Middle East, if not the world, is at stake here.
So, why no coverage?
To those of you who have supported Naghmeh and the Pastor, there is no amount of thanks they can ever share with you which would convey their gratitude to

you. For those of you who feel Barry and John and Hillary will help an American and his family in distress, I would suggest you think that idea again.
As for Iran and its supporters, if you think Allah or God thinks this is appropriate behavior for a religious man, no matter what his faith, to be treated, you are sadly mistaken. No religion's God teaches torture and inhumane treatment toward anyone for expressing an alternate belief system.
At worst, if the Mullahs and Ayotollahs are so afraid of the message of Jesus Christ, they should have put Pastor Saeed Abedini on the first plane out of Teheran. Then, at least, their actions would have displayed the best aspects of Islam to the world. Instead, they are using Islam as a convenient cover for their despicable behavior, totally un-Muslim.
As for our government, well, what can I say? It doesn't support our veterans, our basic guaranteed rights, or our national security. And now, it has proven it doesn't support Americans illegally imprisoned in foreign jails.
What will it take for the LSM to finally, FINALLY, report this story and shame Barry to be a President, rather than an ostrich? It is getting old fast. He can still make a difference before he becomes totally irrelevant.
How about starting with Pastor Saeed Abedini?
