Crazy, violent motherfucker is completely disconnected from reality.

Do people actually pay money to hear this shithead spew? Is this actually considered some kind of academic environment?

many of the police across the country belong to some group like the KKK and think like this man? I think this is something that should be known because they are supposed to be our "protectors" and it is important how they think, what their attitudes toward us are.

I don't know how this could be researched as I doubt they would tell the truth even if asked directly. What I am afraid of is the takeover of our nation by someone like this man or like the Nazi's did in Germany. Are we handing our nation over to people like this without even a fight?

Just like the Germans handed it over to the Nazis...because we never take them seriously, and just wright them off as nut cases...
But they tell what the plan is...to take over local government like school boards and law inforcement...and we ignore it thinking it don't matter.

Independents like Bernie need to start running for local positions because all to often we lose by default.

As the quality of life continues to be pounded down under the corporate fists of BOTH political parties, people will start looking for someone innocent to blame. We always have the choice to protest, but out of fear, pressure or cowardice we choose to quietly comply.

Instead of impassioned speeches defending the defenseless, we get speeches about "So what? Some patriotic folks tortured some folks".

As a nation we can't even agree on the most fundamental principals of human life. Our leaders continue to dignify criminality, cruelty and greed.

The US should be respected for its constitution and justice system. Now it is respected for its startling disparities, violence and corruption.

With education, good jobs and good wages, people don't have time to fuck around with political extremism.

The economic trends for the 99% continue to degrade regardless of who is in power. And that is the perfect growth medium for extremism.

Sgt Major Page is an example of extreme narcissism. His comment about being in charge of all special forces in Africa is laughable. He may have been the ranking senior enlisted man but there are Officers with more authority than he had. Dan Page is a fool.

What is truly frightening is that our law enforcement infrastructure is populated by mentally unstable monsters like this. The house cleaning needs to start immediately.

Or did the brutality suddenly stop once this goon was suspended?
