You heard of a term called Dead Reckoning, is a Navigational term usually used in Maritime law. And what it is when you decide to figure out where you’re going base on where you are, right now and where you’ve been, rather than using navigation tools.

Sometimes it’s used when people don’t have access to navigation tools or they don’t use the stars. And what happens is they tend to get lost. Because they are frequently going from a false premise they’re already lost. And they’re under the impression that they are somewhere.

I don’t know if I’m articulating this correctly, dead reckoning, but if you go from a false premise which a lot of Conservatism does. And then you move on from there, you’re going to continue to stack falsehood from falsehood. And a lot at sea when people get lost allot is because they use dead reckoning they are making assumptions about where they are and where they’ve been.

Because they don’t have navigational tools at the ready and then they keep going wrong. Does that make sense? And I feel like people like Elizabeth Hasselbeck and a lot of right-wingers, dead reckoning is the problem. The point of origin is false. – Janeane Garofalo

I don't even know where to start with this...it makes no damn sense.

The point of origin is false.

That is so sad.

For many, many conservatives, the point of origin is God. For many, many liberals, the point of origin is themselves. But she believes in herself more than in God. So she thinks conservatives have a false point of origin.

Sad.
