"Talk to the hand" and get back to me. If you seriously think there are no communists in our present government, your voting rights should be revoked.

Nothingnew:

Fiction writers are free to write whatever comes into their mind, In other words, they are free to INVENT villains and then put words and motives into the characters they create.

By contrast, NON-fiction writers must carefully examine, evaluate, and weigh verifiable factual evidence — and then make arguments that do not go beyond what available evidence permits.

The problem with your snide comment is that you do not tell us WHAT METHODOLOGY you think should apply to ALL assertions made in order to separate FACT from FICTION.

So, consequently, you are free to INVENT any accusation and then demand that we accept your premises and conclusions or our “voting rights should be revoked”.

Essentially, you have created a self-sealing circular argument. By definition, self-sealing circular arguments can NEVER be falsified because they are constructed to make it impossible for anyone to present any contradictory evidence which would be considered acceptable by the author of the argument.
