I have actually heard more conservatives point out how incandescently stupid and harmful to the cause these clowns were including myself and many of my former military compatriots. http://www.blackfive.net/ma...

Exercising a right obnoxiously hardly helps gain converts and drives some people into the gun-grabbing camp. Well done fellas!

While complaining about why there aren't more black students at UCLA, the orator for the Black Bruins video has the word palette (painter's tool) misspelled as pallet (a
wood skid) in his video at 3:18. I think you just answered the
question. The correct criteria for entry to an elite institution of higher learning ought to be merit not melanin.

So it is not possible that Khameini is lying to further a goal? Islamic law allows that.

Reliance of the Traveler (p. 746 - 8.2) -
"Speaking is a means to achieve objectives. If a praiseworthy aim is attainable
through both telling the truth and lying, it is unlawful to accomplish through
lying because there is no need for it. When it is possible to achieve such
an aim by lying but not by telling the truth, it is permissible to lie if
attaining the goal is permissible

Having a nuclear weapon is a goal and even praiseworthy if you want to create the type of chaos they believe will trigger the 12th Imam. The author is either willfully ignorant or naive to not consider this possibility.

Cordially,
