better than the reality of the Shah ( 1953 ). The Shah was not a
threat to the rest of the world as Iran is today. Paul is comparing a
puppet ( shah ) to an Islamo-fascist monster (Ahmadinejad ).

> I just heard a major talk-show host claim Rick Santorum "schooled" Ron Paul on Iran last night. How can that be? Ron Paul talked about the U.S./British coup in 1953 that installed the shah and his police state. In response to that, Santorum went into neocon talking-point mode, babbling about how we shouldn't go around apologizing for spreading freedom. Freedom? The shah? Is Santorum that ignorant of history, or is a U.S.-installed dictator really how the neocons define freedom, such that the subject population ought to be grateful rather than resentful? (I don't rule out both.)Re: Santorum 'Schooling' Ron PaulPosted byButler Shafferon August 12, 2011 04:21 PMTom: This radio talk-show guy was correct: Santorum did "school" Ron in the same sense that government schools "educate" people: distort reality; create the mindset that "truth" is a flexible concept that can be twisted to serve any moment-to-moment political agenda; and to confirm Twain's warning to "never let school interfere with your education."
> I am sometimes asked which government program I would most like to see abandoned: "The government school system," I reply. "Why that one?," I am then asked. "Because it creates people like you!" The chameleon-like thinking engaged in by Santorum and the other GOP bobble-heads (Ron Paul excepted) is herewith offered into evidence!
