Ignoring his posts is ignoring what many Americans believe. You may disagaree with them but they are there and his posts provide a microcosm of what they think, enabling us to "know the enemy." Not doing so can be dangerous. In Sun Tzu's "The Art of War," which is applicable in political as well as military situations, it is written that "If you know the enemy and you know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle." (Chapter 3 - Attack by Strategem - No. 18) Hence, his comments here help us in 'knowing the enemy,' and therefore should not be ignored.
Time to put Der Schmeeckle on the Ignore List.
