the way i see it, if you have to hide your logic behind this ridiculous waving of a cape around in front of your face and meaningful-seeming movement of the eyebrows---like is happening in this thread---what that means is you haven't got an argument.
or maybe you're afraid that you'd have to defend bullshit premises, false comparisons, register mistakes, specious abstraction and faulty machinery?
it's fine to be conservative---but i don't remember anyone making special logic for conservatives that bypasses the rules for coherence.
but it appears that alot of you folk on the right either think that you're special like that and that the rules of basic argument don't apply to you or haven't the first idea how to actually construct a logical presentation of an argument.
either way, it's fucking depressing.
