Jerry Miskulin – 2/20/11

Who are we to give advice to Egypt?; Jerry Miskulin; Beaver County Times; February 20, 2011.

I encourage you to review Mr. Miskulin’s body of work in the archives. Mr. Miskulin has written at least 64 letters since 2004 (I didn’t critique all of them.). Most (all?) are illogical and full of falsehoods (not just wrong).

Mr. Miskulin expressed displeasure with the tea parties (here and here), proclaimed “Rush Limbaugh is a propaganda minister,” and told us “Tariff is the best way to reduce deficit.”

Below is a detailed critique of the subject letter.

“Events in Egypt were scary, but not for the reason you might think.

“It was portrayed as if the United States would have some sort of influence over future events there. That’s what’s scary because we can’t even manage our own affairs, and here we are giving advice to the Egyptians.

“We’ve always liked a good caudillo and have never supported democracy abroad, and I don’t see how our policies will change.”

[RWC] “We’ve … never supported democracy abroad?”
