Ah, the state of American education.

Boy, nothing will give you an absolute case of the morbs regarding average American educational standards quite like posting a couple of mildly controversial essays, and then catching emails, comments, and drive-by social media’ing.

Good lord.

“Ian! Why should American give a toss about what happens in a foreign country!”

Seriously?1

The mullahs in Tehran have directly — albeit through proxies — been killing Americans since 1980. Lest anyone think that their slogan, “Death to America!” is hyperbole, they have influenced — if not outright funded — terror attacks on U.S. soil.

They intentionally and knowingly attempt to goad the world into a state of war, because their religion tells them that if they can get the whole world in flames, their god will appear and take them all to Paradise.

An unstable world, with governments at each other’s throats is precisely their plan and goal. It’s also lousy for trade, and — like it or not — America needs international trade.

“But, Ian! If the mullahs fall, whatever replaces them could be just as bad!”

“Could be” is not “certain”. You know what is certain? As long as the mullahs remain in power they’re going to keep killing Americans, influencing others to kill Americans, and literally trying to set the world on fire.

The essay shows a good understanding of reality.

Something doesn’t seem to follow here.

Neocon idiocy that transitions in to some fair points on the MN shooting.

[Pontiac]

Now, go to ‘Aaron McFarlane’. He was an FBI agent who spent eight (8) hours interrogating a suspect — in the suspect’s own damn apartment, mind you — before the suspect grabbed a samurai sword, or maybe a pipe, possibly a broomstick, wait, it was “a knife or a pipe or something”, umm, could have been “some kind of stick” … anyway, the suspect got shot. A lot.

Thanks for posting this article.

Bay Area Police Hid Past Of FBI Agent Who Killed Boston Bomber Associate: Report

I had not read about this incident so I looked it up and found this article in the process. Boston Police had a bad cop and they knew about it. Forced the guy to retire early and hid his bad record. The FBI gave him a badge. The result he murderers a suspect.

Following FBI's unwritten policy, the facts of the murder were slow walked and covered up.
