Americans (US Americans, that is) are truly stupid when it comes to analyzing what is going on in the world, but it is not entirely their fault.
They go to schools where only politically correct history is taught. They go to work in businesses where only politically correct decisions can be made. They come home, and turn on the news, and they get the politically correct version.
The Official Truth Squads of the government, and their minions in the Mainstream Media, howl that the supposedly "Fair and Balanced" Fox News is actually biased in favor of conservative thinking. And then we get, from Fox, the following :
Bulldozer Goes on Rampage in Israel, Driver Killed
Drivel. Worse than drivel. Outright disinformation.
"JERUSALEM — A Palestinian driver rammed a construction vehicle into a bus and police car on a highway Thursday, wounding two officers before he was shot dead, police said, the latest in a string of attacks by militants using heavy machinery against Israeli targets.
Witnesses described a harrowing sight of a towering yellow front loader speeding along Jerusalem's Begin Highway, dragging the police car, flipping it into the air and trying to crush it with its front shovel."... "Deputy police chief Nisso Shachar said the attacker was first spotted by a traffic police car. "The officer saw the bulldozer lift up a police squad car with its shovel after trying to squash it," he said. "It is without a doubt a terror attack."
Schachar said the man was killed and an open copy of the Koran, Islam's holy book, was found in the vehicle. He said the presence of the book indicated the attacker was affiliated with or influenced by Islamic radicals. Police said the two wounded officers were lightly hurt.
It was the third bulldozer attack in Jerusalem in the past eight months."
Rupert Murdoch should fire the idiot who came up with that headline, but he will not, because it is a politically correct headline. Geert Wilders could not have called the shot better; the MSM cowers under its bed in fear that Mohammedans will react badly to any exposé of their true character.
I think somebody should call the Trial Lawyers' Association so that a suit can be filed against the bulldozer manufacturer, the salespeople who promoted that bulldozer, and the company that bought the bulldozer. Obviously, all of them were negligent in allowing a deranged bulldozer out in public.
Let me rephrase that earlier sentiment. It is the fault of the American people that they do not bother to go beyond headlines, and hold the terror-stricken publishers accountable. It is simply poor parenting that allows a child to grow up without a healthy dose of skepticism toward outside 'authorities'. And it is criminal negligence for teachers and 'authorities' to present only one side of a picture to those who look at them for guidance, whether it concern history, economics, science, or philosophy.
My opinion. Choke on it if you don't like it.
