So many threatned left wingers, so many logical fallacies where to begin. Why at the begining of course ;)
“So tell us Jeff, we the simpletons, what exactly is good that has come out of this administration?”
Oh dear, oh dear oh dear, another straw man argument couched under the motive of appealing to emotion via attempt to play the victim. I have never stated that any one was a simpleton rather I have pointed out the logical inconstancies in some left wingers post on Craig’s list. If you view such criticisms define you as a simpleton then I would suggest you take a step back and rethink your position.
“You didn't answer the question. And put it in plain english, spare us your gibberish babble of bullshit and of trying to come off as the super intellect you try to portray yourself”
To my knowledge, prior to your post, I am not aware that I was asked a question. Rather I responded to some very ill thought out statements posted on Graig’s list. Further you do not address someone’s rebuttal by disregarding said rebuttal, and then ask the author of said rebuttal to answer some arbitrary questions. If you tried such nonsense in a formal academic setting you would be laughed out of the room.
“What a joke. You are good at attacking others on a personal level but I see but you don't answer the question.”
This statement comes off as hypocritical after reading the ad homonym attack which constituted your third sentence (quoted above). I would thank you to not project your own personal failings off on me. Further you have an odd way of defining what constitutes a personal attack. I find your erroneous definition especially odd considering when my posts have consisted of nothing other then observations and or cogent arguments based upon cited raw data to which others can peer review.
“Most Americans are unhappy with the direction this country has taken in the last eight years”
Such a statement is a logical fallacy specifically argumentum ad populace or “appeal to the majority”. Even if what you stated is true and most Americans are unhappy with this administrations policies it would not in fact substantiate the democrats or your ill thought out criticism of this administration. Other then the regurgitating left wing DNC one liners you have yet to form a cogent argument what so ever. Nor have you provided any proof that would substantiate your or any other left wingers criticisms of this administration.
“but I am sure you will tell us other wise.”
I just did
“What good has come out of this administration for the average american that has had complete control this last eight years?”
Straw man based on assumption, I never said that I did not possess any criticisms of this administration. That being said my criticisms are nothing as sophomoric as the non productive, partisan drivel caterwauled by the DNC, to say nothing of the typical anti bush rant posted by left wingers on this forum. An example of afore mentioned ill thought out statements couched by left wingers on this forum would be when one attempted to insinuate that United States interventionist foreign policy in Iraq some how constitutes the major contributing factor regarding the rise of gas prices. Such statements run in the face of the raw data, analysis from traders on Wall Street or even basic micro economics such as supply and demand. I posted raw data to illustrate said point, what I got in return was “Bush is Hitler”.
Gee, please tell me how wonderful it's been, what don't i see?
If the above statement is in fact put forward in earnest with the idea that many of the problems the United States is facing is directly / indirectly attributable to this administrations policies, especially when such statements are made without any corroborating evidence is that such statements are indicative of the logical fallacy correlation equates to causation. See just because two events occur around the same period of time does not in fact mean that there exists a casual / effect relationship between those two events. I have yet to see or hear of any left winger provide any proof – read raw data which stands up to the rigors of peer review. Side note raw data does not include jingoistic pdfs from advocacy sites such as moveon.org, A.N.S.W.E.R or any other advocacy sites (right or left). I guess expecting you or any other left winger to operate under basic critical thinking skills is too much to ask.
Oh well go on and flame some more. Continue in your attempts to coddle your wounded motivational bias by telling yourself how you are the victim of a supposed evil neo con. IN the end when it is all done and said such silliness will not silence the doubts that said rebuttals have risen in your mind. It is my hope that said doubts will give you cause to pause take a step back and reevaluate your position.
Jeff
