That IS how I get most of my exercise. :)
People are weird. They jump to conclusions based on zero data, as in this case and the “hands up, don’t shoot” meme from Ferguson, then often refuse to modify their conclusion when actual data becomes available.
I’ve been accused in the past of being “pro-Muslim” for pointing out when accusations against Islam are untrue. Apparently we’re just supposed to go along with lies if they seem likely to promote our cause.
Personally, I think there is LOTS of perfectly accurate ammo to use against Islamism, and that firing stuff in the direction of Islam that is easily proven to be untrue simply weakens the value of the true accusations.
True, but if he is Muslim, you can sure say “I told you so!” in a loud voice.
I get very suspicious of people who claim to be conservatives, yet who think like leftists: eschewing logic, lying “for the greater good”, etc.
You are right on target. It distresses one that more and more people on our side have adopted the mind set of the Left, that being letting emotion overrule logic and fact. Since it has become both sides of the political divide, people as a whole live lives totally within their own bubble. We are all becoming like what Colin Cowheard calls “Hockey Guy.” The guy who loves Hockey and thinks everyone else is stupid and crazy because they do not share his passion. They cannot except the FACT that they belong to a small minority, thus they lash out at everyone else, instead of enjoying their fandom on its own merits.
I agree, the knee jerking is embarrassing.
100% agree. I read that German article over and over thinking I was missing something.
