Sen. Cotton out of line with letter
To the editor:
Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas sent a letter to Iran's leaders, siding with America's enemies. This letter was to undermine the president and it is also sending mixed signals to our enemies while the president was trying to strike a nuclear deal.
Sen. Cotton opposed the negotiations with Iran before he sent the letter. What Tom Cotton really wants is war, and there is no doubt about it.
The first move to undermine the president was when the Republicans invited Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to speak to a joint meeting of Congress behind the president's back to undermine the nuclear deal. Now we see a second attempt to undermine the nuclear deal. This is the fourth tantrum the Republicans had. They are really kicking this time. They have one when they can't have their way with the president. They hate the president so bad, they are willing to put the country at risk.
Sen. Cotton may have violated the Logan Act, a law passed in 1799 that forbids any U.S. citizen acting without official U.S. authority from influencing dispute or controversies involving the U.S. and a foreign government. The senator said in his letter that the Iranian government doesn't understand our government. The Iranian government knows more about our government than most Americans.
In essence, what Sen. Cotton was saying to the Iranian government was that President Obama doesn't know what he is doing. In my opinion, this is treason.
If the Republicans would have known that the president was going to kill Osama bin Laden, they would have undermined it. That's why he didn't tell them about the mission. President Obama has made it very clear that Iran will not get a nuclear bomb. He said he would kill bin Laden, and he did. President Obama is negotiating with Iran at this moment, and Sen. Cotton should keep his mouth closed.
Presidents in the past have made deals like this one all the time, and Congress never got in the way of negotiations. Tom, you are wrong. You are dead wrong. Sen. Tom Cotton may have committed treason. The word treason comes from the Latin word, which comes from the verb trader, to hand over, betray. If you commit treason, that is what you do -- you betray. The word is typically used to refer to the betrayer of government or country. If Sen. Cotton betrayed the president, this is treason, trader or undermining this country.
This Republican Congress believes they were sent to Congress to fight, and to try to destroy the president, and stop his progress. All these Republican congressmen know what to do is destruct. They don't know how to govern, so they just destruct. This Republican Congress has been trying to sabotage the Obama presidency since day one. These congressmen are not builders, they are pluckers.
This country is in good shape now, thanks to President Obama, but oh, how they tried to cut him off at the knees. The Republican Congress is jealous and have unjustifiable hatred for the president because he is just as intelligent, if not more so, than they are. These are the same type of people who destroyed "Black Wall Street" in 1921.
We have been told that black people have no business sense, but before the Civil War, there were prominent black businesses throughout America. The KKK was formed to do evil works toward the blacks. What happened to the "Black Wall Street" is a good example.
In Iran, there are factions -- some are for the nuclear deal and some are not for the deal. This is why Sen. Cotton should have never contacted these leaders.
Did you know that Oklahoma has a racist history? Make sure you read "Black Wall Street." There is a foundation for these students making a racist chant tape. Some has to do with the Ferguson's racist acts. The report was disgusting, and some have to do with some polices shooting unarmed black youth, and some has to do with their parental. A question? How long will racism last in America? Well, as long as Satan has a candidate.
The Daily News called the 47 people who signed on to Sen. Cotton's letter traitors.
All other races get along just fine, but black and white are being driven apart for a purpose you know not.
