If this doesn’t convince the left that action must immediately be taken to stop an irredeemably evil Iranian regime, we’re not sure that it’s even worth talking to each other any more. If we can’t come together over the idea that beer is a cause worth fighting and dying for, then political deliberation in this country is truly dead. Psychopaths [content warning for graphic picture]:

Mamandy, a Kurd, explained that he was visiting his mother in Baneh, Iran in April when he was arrested by police. “We were on an outing with family and friends, six or seven in the evening, and were having a barbecue and enjoying ourselves. Altogether I drank two beers. The police happened to drive by,” Mamandy said. He said that he was immediately arrested and taken to the police station where he was sentenced to 130 lashes. This sentence, for beer drinking, was carried out publicly according to news agency Iran Focus.

We understand that watching Iran destroy Israel may not over disturb the hearts and minds of New York fashionistas, but with Ahmadinejad declaring declaring today that the World Will Come Under Political Flag of Iran – well, our liberal brothers and sisters, let us ask you this: where will you get your PBR from then?
