Remember our post yesterday about your public servant Al Armendariz, regional director of the Environmental Protection Agency, who voiced his agency’s “philosophy of enforcement” in service to America?

“I was in a meeting once and I gave an analogy to my staff about my philosophy of enforcement… I’ll go ahead and tell you what I said: It was kind of like how the Romans used to … conquer villages in the Mediterranean. They’d go in to a little Turkish town somewhere, they’d find the first five guys they saw and they’d crucify them. Then, you know, that town was really easy to manage for the next few years. It’s a deterrent factor.”

Well, we don’t know why it didn’t occur to us at the time, but today the Wall Street Journal suggests an appropriate consequence for such, dare we say, hate speech. . .

I'm wondering why he used such an analogy...

Maybe I'm wrong but it looks like Christians vs Muslims.

I think his analogy was part of a larger agenda....maybe ask his boss. :-0
