Absolutely brilliant article. It's why the I always append the term "idiot" to the term conservative. It's "conservative idiot".

I actually had to try to keep myself awake to read this drivel. I really think this is the left's real mentality, There is nothing newsworthy and I wonder why anyone wasted the paper and ink. Pure unadulterated trash.

Well-written, good content. I enjoyed this article a lot. I would have been honored to be questioned by the Feds after reading this ;)

While I agree with the majority of this article, I feel that much of it is doing exactly what it is condemning. It is a scathing commentary on stupidity and "following the crowd", and such is deserved by many. But as the former girlfriend of one of our soldiers, and the friend of several more, I believe in supporting our troops. Perhaps not what they do, but the men and women themselves. They are deserving of that much. Most don't want to be there, but to face humiliation, disgrace, court-martial and worse if they don't follow orders? That is something that most of us would not be willing to do, and is not fair to expect others to do. I don't classify myself right-wing, left-wing, or top-wing. I attempt a balanced perspective, and I think the most aggressive problem we have is the political divide between the two wings, and a lack of people who are willing to choose the middle. Extremes in any direction, even a good one, ESPECIALLY a good one, are deadly. Excellent article however.

FBI investigates suspicious reading in public -- From American Libraries Direct, an e-newsletter of the ALA: Two FBI agents visited Atlanta bookstore employee Marc Schultz after they were tipped off that he had been reading something “suspicious” in a coffee shop. Turns out it was a printout of a column by Hal Crowther titled “Weapons of Mass Stupidity” that appeared in a Tampa free weekly. Schultz writes: “I say it seems like a dark day when an American citizen regards reading as a threat, and downright pitch-black when the federal government agrees.”...

...that one solitary news outlet doesn't conform to your leftist dogma. You're so intolerant, so closed-minded, and so caught up in your hatred that you won't consider any ideas or opinions that don't march in lock-step with your liberal propaganda.
