The Iran Letter: Original, not Obstructive

TRANSCRIPT:
Hey there, Nation! This is the Elephant in the Room, the most unflinchingly somber political blog on the third rock from the sun.

In case you haven't heard, 47 uber patriotic, loyal, nationalistic GOP Senators pulled most downright courageous passive-aggressive foreign policy move ever to happen in the U.S.!

That's right folks, 47 defenders of the constitution stabbed the tyrannical Barack Obama (aka modern Caesar) in the back by sending a letter to Iran while said tyrant was in the midst of nuclear negotiations with them!

Some of these liberal pundits have been saying that these heroes are hypocritical because they violate the President’s constitutional powers in addition to “overstepping” their own. I mean, they may be slightly quick to point out potential oversteps of the President’s constitutional power, but that’s just because they simply can’t bear any desecrations of the sacred document! Really, we should be thanking them for giving us a whole new way of viewing the powers outlined for congress and the President in the Constitution!

Yes, the President has the right to negotiate with other countries, but Congress has the power to ratify treaties! While there was no treaty involved yet, do not be fooled, Nation! The Republican Senators were simply making a preemptive strike against the treaty happening without their approval! If preemptive strikes aren’t a proven, tried and true foreign policy action, I don’t know what is!

Another complaint from the left has been that the Senators insulted our And they didn’t dumb down our system! Why would they do such a thing to a group of leaders with primarily Western education? No, they were just being direct! So what? Did the Senators sent an unprecedented letter that “undermined the President’s authority and our ability to negotiate?” Maybe they were just being innovative!

Some of these liberals even had the nerve to say that the letter made the U.S. seem un-unified and weak. That can't possibly be true! Obviously we're establishing ourselves as legion, like a demon in a hokey horror movie! Demons are terrifying with multiple voices! The same logic can be applied here by even the simplest of minds! It's ridiculous to even think we wouldn't want to seem terrifying, especially when according to Tom Cotton, we should bomb Iran!

It’s honestly surprising that so many people are expressing contempt for the actions of these patriots! It’s almost like they believe the Congress shouldn’t interfere with the Executive branch’s job or something equally ridiculous.
