As if schools weren't already trying to indoctrinate people's children with "critical thinking" skills and other grave threats to the Common Good, one brave New Hampshire lawmaker is risking the laughter of his state's godless heathens by pointing to a
Talk to all the men on death row, and you&#039;ll find that just about <i>every damned one of &#039;em</i> went to kindergarten. Kingsbury knows that there&#039;s just no way that can be a coincidence.
According to Fortune, there&#039;s <em>absolutely</em> no &quot;there&quot; there with F&amp;F whatsofuckingever - the only reason the ATF &quot;allowed&quot; guns to walk was because prosecutors instructed them they did not have anything close to sufficient evidence to seize them, because the NRA has made the law entirely ineffective:
<blockquote>It was nearly impossible in Arizona to bring a case against a straw purchaser. The federal prosecutors there did not consider the purchase of a huge volume of guns, or their handoff to a third party, sufficient evidence to seize them. A buyer who certified that the guns were for himself, then handed them off minutes later, hadn&#039;t necessarily lied and was free to change his mind. Even if a suspect bought 10 guns that were recovered days later at a Mexican crime scene, this didn&#039;t mean the initial purchase had been illegal. To these prosecutors, the pattern proved little. Instead, agents needed to link specific evidence of intent to commit a crime to each gun they wanted to seize.</blockquote>
So, New Hampshire only finally enacted mandatory public kindergarten in 2009.
Does Kingsbury <em>really</em> want us to believe that (A) the period from then to the most recent available crime statistics is long enough to detect a trend, that (B) there aren&#039;t other serious confounding factors such as a shitty economy, and that (C) if there has been an uptick in crime (dubious), it can be attributed primarily to the 5-8 year-olds that have been affected in any way by the change in law?
Some crackers are <em>crazy</em> motherfuckin&#039; cracker ass crackers.
No, that&#039;s not <em>all</em> you learn. Because you also learn how to make the syllogism: &quot;Hitler=Bad, Obama=Hitler, therefore Obama=Bad&quot;. You will never learn that it&#039;s called a syllogism, however.
wow.

well, to be fair to bob, why SHOULD texas and LA get all the crazy?
Except that Iran-Contra was actually a thing.

So even the parts that the DOJ has mea-culpa&#039;d over, are fabrications of the vast right-wing conspiracy machine.
Shorter Fortune: there wasn&#039;t even any gun-walking, the <em>entire</em> thing is made up.
My first impression was Orson Welles in Catch-22.
The exception that proves the rule.
Commie.
LG:
There&#039;s the third &quot;C&quot; - coincidence.
We might be having aging population problems, though.
The best parallel to Fast and Furious is probably Iran-Contra. Without the President and Vice President being involved, of course.
I will read that piece with considerable interest.
If these little fucks were allowed to carry in kindergarten we wouldn&#039;t be having these problems.
We also learned about naps. Warm, wonderful, peaceful naps. So it wasn&#039;t that bad of an education.
