How right you are!

Argument by analogy betrays a weakness of fact and logic but argument by analogy to pop culture betrays ignorance of history and even a tenuous grasp on reality.

By its very nature, and analogy is not precise. So using one in an article meant to prove fact will only obscure the clarity of the factual case by tossing in a touch of pop culture romance. It’s as if the writers are saying, “See? Real life is just like the movies.” How childish.

Which doesn’t bother someone trying to show how their article should connect to people who watch reality TV and cheesy romance movies like TITANIC.

I despise people like this.

Et tu, Tom? They betray us and tell us their betrayal is for our own good.

Thurlow does not want the American people to decide it for themselves. He wants to decide it for them.

I expected a hit piece but not in a conservative publication.

Now we have conservatives doing the Democrats' work for them.

Congratulations!
