Nice catch. That’s an example, I believe, of `casuistry”: `a subtle but misleading or false application of ethical principles’.
Another example might be (on another thread here) “multi-faith” holy men urging that the DREAM act be passed because `it’s the right thing to do.’
These sanctimonius frauds have no intention of paying the freight for resident illegal aliens (and their family, friends and shirt-tail relatives) but they preach to us that we must do so and if we don’t, well, it’s because we’re bad people.
Thank you. I wish I could say that it is due to my having a great legal mind, but such is not the case. His comment just did not seem logical to me.
