You are correct. Many of the people posting have failed to gain a basic classical education. They need to understand the fallacy in their arguments.
They also are trying to legitimize their seizure of others money for their benefit. Arguments that would persuade a child do not work in the adult world, but they continue to try. They are the trophy for everyone crowd, and nobody fails crowd. I’m sure they are playing with their ObamaPhone, as they love their socialized medical, and socialized education system.
Here is a nice link for all the others on the thread that can’t make a solid argument.
