Decades after the 1979 storming of the US embassy in Iran, the Americans taken hostage in that incident are finally receiving compensation, but not from the people who victimized them.
Tacked onto the already-impossibly expensive omnibus spending bill, the “United States Victims of State Sponsored Terrorism” fund assures that all 52 survivors of the embassy attack will be compensated for their misfortune. The thing is, the ones doing the compensating are us!
Yes, the government really decided that after Iran took 52 Americans hostage and held for them over a year, the American taxpayer should be the one paying out $4.4 million to each hostage instead of making the government that facilitated their being taken hostage cough up the cash. This is to say nothing of the $600,000 guaranteed to the families of each former hostage.
Make no mistake: the hostages deserve financial compensation, but it should be the guilty party that provides it.

What happened to religious freedom
Our enemies
I am an American….. 5 generations of my ancestors were born and raised here. Some were natives…. Freedom of speech is my RIGHT…. If I want to have a pulled pork tailgate outside a mosque during Ramadan while preaching the Gospel and waiving my flag……….. That’s my right to do so………….. Obama, CAIR, INSA, and the Muslim brotherhood are all part of an ISLAMIC plot to change this country to an Islamic country.
( IT CAN’T HAPPEN HERE )
Americans especially have that “it can’t happen here” attitude. But yet it is happening right in front of us. And still half the people refuse to see it…. In Sweden, France, Germany, Australia, all these countries took in refugees and now are being terrorized by them, yet Americans still believe “it can’t happen here”. Our President makes deals behind closed doors with know terrorist funding groups yet ” it can’t happen here ” our government threatens our citizens with prosecution for speaking out about Islam yet ” it can’t happen here”. 14 people are killed by terrorist when the neighbors knew something was up ahead of time but to afraid of being persecuted for bigotry to say anything yet “it can’t happen here”. Social media sites allow ISIS to use its sites to recruit new members and no one even ask why… yet ” it can’t happen here”
Not America or Israel
