Burt Prelutsky: The Death of Logic
Townhall.com ^ | November 28, 2008 | Burt Prelutsky

The problem with being a logical human being is that every day, sometimes every hour, you get blind-sided like a quarterback cursed with an underachieving offensive line.

It’s bad enough when a movie or a mystery novel scores a big fat zero on the logic meter, but when it happens in real life, if you’re anything like me, you find yourself wondering if you have somehow followed Alice down the rabbit hole.

Love the last paragraph.
The hypocrisy of the left does have limits it seems.

Indeed!

What I question is how it has escalated to near ‘warp speed’ in the last few years. Not the gradual change of
time and generations,etc.,

We have been and are being FORCE FED ideas that the majority of the people do not desire or want.

IMMIGRATION/AMENESTY
OPEN BORDERS
ONE WORLD TRADE
ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT
TOTAL U.N. CONTROL
ABORTION
HOMOSEXUAL AGENDA
JUDICIAL PRO LIBERAL DECISIONS/ LAW MAKING
FAILURE TO EDUCATE
DISTRUBITION OF WEALTH
MARRIAGE AMENDNEBT CONTROVERSY

and many more

Think about it.

This horse left the barn many years ago. We’re just seeing the effects of the death of logic reaching critical mass.

Bad ideas have consequences, no doubt. “Money walks when Bull$#!) talks...”

"I know what you're thinking about," said Tweedledum: "but it isn't so, nohow."

"Contrariwise," continued Tweedledee, "if it was so, it might be; and if it were so, it would be; but as it isn't, it ain't. That's logic."
