Who Schooled Whom?

I just heard a major talk-show host claim Rick Santorum
"schooled" Ron Paul on Iran last night. How can that be? Ron
Paul talked about the U.S./British coup in 1953 that installed the shah
and his police state. In response to that, Santorum went into neocon
talking-point mode, babbling about how we shouldn't go around apologizing
for spreading freedom. Freedom? The shah? Is Santorum that ignorant of
history, or is a U.S.-installed dictator really how the neocons define
freedom, such that the subject population ought to be grateful rather
than resentful? (I don't rule out both.)

: This radio talk-show guy was correct: Santorum did
"school" Ron in the same sense that government schools
"educate" people: distort reality; create the mindset that
"truth" is a flexible concept that can be twisted to serve any
moment-to-moment political agenda; and to confirm Twain's warning to
"never let school interfere with your education."
I am sometimes asked which government program I would most like to see
abandoned: "The government school system," I reply. "Why
that one?," I am then asked. "Because it creates people like
you!" The chameleon-like thinking engaged in by Santorum and the
other GOP bobble-heads (Ron Paul excepted) is herewith offered into
evidence!
