In Friday’s rant I asked the question: when did we stop thinking. It was about subscribing to a dogma hook, line and sinker. I was not proselytizing or advocating for anything. I was asking how anyone could accept a dogma straight down the line when aspects/parts of the dogma are unabashedly nonsensical and/or absolutely outrageously absurd.
Well, I continue to ask that question.
Responses to Friday’s posting were predictable. Righties, or those leaning right, applauded. They didn’t applaud the political position. They applauded the question asked and the idea that yes, we should all be independent thinkers. We should think for ourselves.
And while I think of it, and I know this is an aside, but since I was a teacher in both high school and college for more than thirty years and taught ELA and forensics, silly me, but I thought and back then we all thought we were supposed to (and we did this) teach our students how to think, not what to think.
Lefties’ responses were predictable lefty responses. Insult, name-calling, shaming and pointing to how wonderful their lefty-leaders are and how morally superior and much more wise they themselves are.
Or, lefties’ responses were so typically astoundingly unthinking as is supporting a green policy that they know will bankrupt the country and destroy its economy.
Now here’s the rub on that. Lefties will respond by saying I’m anti green energy policy and save-the-planet-stuff in all its different aspects. They’ll make the first and most fallacious forensic mistake: the all or nothing argument. Note that I haven’t stated a position. I’ve only talked to the economics of the New Green Deal.
Yes. To my Friday’s rant, lefty criticism praised Obama, attacked Trump and that was the good part of it.
Oh me, oh my, oh you, whatever shall I do?
So here we are in America 2020. According to the lefties, attributing the corona virus to China is racist. Saying that China caused the pandemic and is responsible for the size of it because they lied about it is not only racist, but it’s part of a conspiracy theory.
According to the lefties, the first rule is never let a good crisis go to waste. See what’s in Nancy Pelosi’s three trillion dollar bill? Maybe all of us should. It’s almost as long as the Obamacare bill was, the one Pelosi said you had to “sign it to see what’s in it.”
We’ll keep this one short too. Wouldn’t want to tax those dogma-driven lefty-supporters’ brains too much.
We already have a bunch of idiots running many states, mostly the blue ones, you know, the ones in fiscal trouble. Cuomo is a smart idiot. He ordered the corona virus-infected elderly back to the nursing homes to create the biggest kill-off of old people we’ve ever seen and then covered his tracks with a nursing home investigation. Now that’s brilliant. Now that’s the epitome of and a metaphor for democratic politics.
Joe Biden for President? Watch the movie The Manchurian Candidate.
