Research American cops and you'll discover these renegades aren't too far behind the Russians.

Why is the world appalled? Most of them would crush dissent in a similar fashion.

Study any major protest organized within the borders of any so-called western democracy and you WILL find the conduct of the police heavy-handed, excessive, and violent.

Governments of all stripes hate protest. Period. Most of the techniques designed to quell protest emanate from so-called freedom-loving countries.

Our paranoid federal, state, and local governments would react no differently than Iran by utilizing heavy-handed police tactics in an effort to crush demonstrations of this sort.

The U.S. has become just as leery and reactionary of public protest as any repressive regime has. New laws were created under Bush and now under Obama redefining public protest and all of it is a form of terrorism.

It is laughable that Obama would express sorrow for the violence when his own country's law enforcement brigades are just as capable of killing and inflicting mass violence as the corrupt Iranian guard is.

The Iranian police probably draw their tactical behavior from American law enforcement educators. Yet people are concerned about how the Iranian protesters are treated. Seriously, wake the fck up.

Frankly, if the Iranians need to hire help there is no better place to turn cold-blooded British cops. These guys are as Taliban as you get.

Hmm, somehow it is OK for the anti-abortionists to trespass private property and protest to the tune of resisting arrest yet on the other hand you folks consider the gay pride protest in Russia to have been handled appropriately by what most would consider abusive police tactics:

The hypocrisy is beyond stunning. You cannot even recognize a swinging pendulum. How brain dead is this?

You have the Holy Spirit????!!!!

Oh, don't make me laugh, harvester. I spent twenty years in fundamentalist Christianity. If you have the Holy Spirit I can climb walls like Spider Man and cut steel with my eyes like Superman.

Any of you other guys from my viewpoint see this little hypocrite as being filled with the Holy Spirit??!! This guy's a total counterfeit religionista that needs to learn some Jesus. I know Jesus better than you do, FARMER, and you've got as much JESUS as my pinky does- NONE!!

I don't see myself taking a trip into your brain at my expiration, bub, because that's the only place your little fable exists.

You need an altar call, little one. Hear the blessed savior calling. He is most unhappy with the canker of your bitterness.

Actually, I'm living as I wish with zero dedication to King James or his little friend upstairs- you are living and expressing in a fashion entirely unbecoming your belief system which pretty much makes most of you liars and hypocrites of the worst sort.

An altar call would all of you some good.

You all seem quite adept at this homosexual thing.

The same little invisible bugger that condemned fornication also felt it necessary to encourage parents to stone their children to death for rebellious behavior.

Had no one sexually 'sinned' your so-called 'good lord' would have never come into existence. Harlots and concubines are in the blood line of the 'good lord'.

Frankly, anyone using the bible to determine a correct path for modern living is an archaic assembly of childish thinking. Most of the content that lies within the pages of the the bible is absolute fear-mongering, genocide-supporting tripe.

I've been silently tracking issues relating to the pursuit of liberty since I was a freshmen at high school when I felt the extreme urge to escape the religious cult my parents had been allowing to dominate them for much of twenty years.

The experience allowed me to peer into the mechanisms that form quiet but deadly changes wherein over time strong and actionable independence softens into the rueful plea for independence. Where the personal decision making process is demurely subordinated to external authority.

The processes that create cults are more overt than the dynamics that drive a supposed liberty-based country to create and apply massive codified systems but the results between the processes are similar: conformity at all cost.

Once the wheels of control are synchronized, little effort is required by massive entities working together over the space of years to slowly put in place a mechanism that takes over daily life to such an extent that the subjects (American citizens) actually JUSTIFY its existence and most will even embrace it.

In my view, this is not a liberal or conservative issue. I do not buy into this notion that conservatives are more aware as a group. I am not convinced liberals are as free-wheeling as the right likes to think.

The problem of restriction and domination is a national problem that has infested every corner of our existence. Law enforcement is rife with the rejection of principles relating to liberty. They are not taught to respect the common citizen. Some do, but, most are beasts of burden more than thrilled to carry the acidic water of federal and state statutes mimicking authoritarian rule in repressive countries.

The intellectual capacity present in ALL news media outlets is malformed and has degenerated into pretty faces clothing empty skulls. The paper rags are little better, just toss the pretty faces in exchange for textual flourish. At this time the internet does appear to be providing unfiltered and raw sources of disapproval. This should continue unabated.
