I read an AP atory in essence blaming the US for providing Mexico with guns and then blaming US demand for drugs for providing comsumers for Mexico's drugs. How ridiculously biased could they be! Even if they believed the logic of consumers being at fault, then it should also apply to those wanting guns. Or conversely, if suppliers are at fault, then Mexico's drug runners are to blame.

The thing I hate most about liberals is their faulty logic. As an engineer and programmer, logic is king.

Indeed, I am a programmer as well and I cannot stand the faulty logic I encounter. (Like being told that I couldn’t take a weapon [training-sword, not technically a weapon] to our local tea-party because it was right next to a police station... I’m sorry, but if it’s not illegal then it must be legal, right? Nope, I got him to admit that it wasn’t illegal, but I didn’t push it... though now I wish I had.)

An interesting note though, is that I was refereed to a therapist (about emotional hardships upon returning from deployment), and he said that “things aren’t black and white”.

No, They [the world] are far more black-and-white, legal/illegal, good-and-evil than most give it credit for.

As it is to any rational human being.

I'm a programmer as well, and like you am constantly irritated at the left's denial of logic.

But logic plays no part in their agenda. As Lenin said, "Of all the arts, the cinema is the most important." When you can insert a thought into people's minds without them having to ponder it, you've got real power in your hands.

So it doesn't matter that the arguments (sic) presented by these snake-charmers contradict one another. The crowd sways and swoons as they're swindled without a rational thought passing through their brains.

No, the logic is flawless, the key is the meme the writer operates on. That template is The US is Evil. With that idea in your mind, the apparent contradiction is perfectly consistent.

I have lived in Mexico, and I know the country well. I would not live there without a weapon. And there are millions of Mexicans who feel the same way.

Amen, Brutha. The modern world is living hell for guys like you and me.
