Logic 101

He said that it was irrational to subject a 75-year-old grandmother to the same checks as a 25-year-old man who had just paid for his ticket with cash.

.. and looks like an extra from Clockwork Orange. Ah, but this is verboten! PC trumps logic any day, much as stone trumps scissors. Yes?

Many a red German Jew went to his grave having cast a definitely unrequited vote of admiration for Hitler....He was a socialist, after all, and did not socialists of all stripes have a common "Kapitalist" enemy?...So the Lords of MultiCultSoc, finding common cause with Islam Militant against the "NeoKonKapitalist" enemy, will one day soon find their graves fresh and beckoning.

Sophistry 101:

"The idea that the jihadists would all be peaceful, warm, lovable, God-fearing people if it weren't for U.S. policies strikes me as not a valid idea."

Duhhhh.... But you'd be surprised (or not?) what percentage of Cambridge/Berkeley denizens (and some of their groupies in the hinterlands) firmly believe in such myths. "Reality-based community",
they call themselves. Mon pied.
