Bad Conclusions ================ Below are a few examples of bad reasoning causing bad conclusions. Though humorous, the principles are based in truth. IGNORING THE ADVICE OF EXPERTS WITHOUT GOOD REASON: Example: Sure, the experts say you shouldn't ride a bicycle in the eye of a hurricane, but I have my own theory. FOLLOWING THE ADVICE OF KNOWN IDIOTS: Example: Uncle Horace says eating pork makes you smarter. That's good enough for me. REACHING BIZARRE CONCLUSIONS WITHOUT ANY INFORMATION: Example: My car won't start. I'm certain the spark plugs have been stolen by rogue clowns. FAULTY PATTERN RECOGNITION: Example: His last...

Now that we don't have to face the horrors of it occurring, we would do well to thank the Lord that we have escaped the repercussions of a Kerry Presidency. Stop and think of what has been avoided. I believe that Kerry would have presided over the beginning of the end of the United States of America. After the Bin Laden endorsement of Kerry, Bin Laden would have bragging rights in the Middle East. He is revered as a hero now. He'd have been elevated to god status. New recruits to AQ would have accelerated monumentally. By his own admission...

It is a beautiful Sunday afternoon and I am tired of politics and my ulcer. I'd like to have some fun talking dogs. Topic of the day is: funny , touching or embarrassing dog stories.

From the internals in the Gallop polls. Kerry/Bush. Demonstrated he is tough enough for the job 37%/54% " Kerry was been working assiduously for the past year to convince the US that he is a girly man in stretch pants with coffed hair, pumpkin skin, manicured nails. He succeeded. Toughness 37%.

Along with demanding that Kerry release his military records it is time to demand that Kerry release his medical records. That skin tone is the shade of Jaundice, What is it Mr Kerry, do you have hepatitis, Is it metastatic Cancer from your previous Prostate Cancer. It's time to answer these serious allegations. Are you healthy enough to handle the rigors of the office?

I think the Gay Marriage issue has the potential to turn out voters in droves this election. I know Ky has it on the ballot. Missouri and Louisiania have just had refferendums on the issue so they are out of the running. Is this on the ballot in other states? Which states?

I'm Not exactly a search pro and I need help from some savy freeper. I'v written checks this morning. I am going nuts trying to find snail mail addresses for both the Swift Boat Vets and for the Bush/Cheney campaing, I can't find where to send them. Arrrgh.

The reason the Democrats have a problem with the war on terror is because they mainstreamed all the leftist terrorists of the late 60's and 70's. The Weather underground, the SDS, the Black Panthers, the SLA, VVaW are all mainstream democrats. They are still defending terrorists and claiming they are political prisoners. Look at the free Mumia movement. Clinton pardoned the Peurto Rican Terrorists. They can't condemn them, they can't do anything about them because they are them. The new incarnation is the ANSWER, WTO protesters, PLO, PLA, and Ecco Terrorists. I'm sure lots more can be added to this...

John Faustus Kerry was born into a world of privilege. As the scion of a high ranking diplomat he spent his childhood in private schools in Switzerland. During the 1950’s when the rest of us were glued to the tube watching Howdy Doody, the Mickey Mouse Club and Ed Sullivan, he was biking Europe. Specifically he, by his own account was biking Berlin, visiting the bunker of Hitler and visiting the Soviet Sector. At a very young age J. Faustus knew he was destined to be President of the United States. He had the right breeding, the right name, came...

I'm sitting at my keyboard with my vast Right Wing Conspiracy cap on. The Case of Pilfered Papers submitted for your amusement. The Clintons actually want Pres. Bush re-elected. Hilary has presidential aspirations for 2008. A Kerry election potentially puts Hillary’s chances out to 2012. With the fair haired, gleaming toothed Edwards in tow, Edwards and not Hilary would be front runner for Candidacy in 2012. Bill Clinton was the most self-serving, least qualified and most corrupt politician to ever occupy the oval office. He also had more extracurricular activity than anyone since Kennedy did. Clinton wants to be back...

I was thinking about the spinessness of the Senate in refusing to even vote for cloture on the Affirmation of Marriage act. It seems that the left in this country wants debate only on their own terms. Any other voices are silenced. What is their problem with allowing the people to have a voice in this matter. What ever happened to consent of the governed. I was rolling an idea around to force the issue. Would it be possible to generate a petition demanding a voice on the issue. The petition would be structured to request/demand the right for the...

To: TASMANIANRED You're quite the tough guy aren't you? And that goes for the rest of you back-slappers as well. The Republicans are really getting shoved around these days aren't they? They control everything and they use their power to cheat and steal and kill. Boy it's really time that they stood up to those who would expose them. Well you are right about one thing liberals love the F-word, so here goes: Well, I got news for you all, us weak f****** liberals will take it no more. We're sick of your f****** moral hypocrisy, your f****** lying, your...

There are 2 kinds of liberals" the elitists and the losers. The losers generally, the racial minorities, the union voters and those standing in line for a hand out are generally clueless. They have their head in the sand about the true nature of the threat the Western World, especially the USA faces from Islamofascism. They generally can repeat their programming but are incapable of any independent thought. The Elitists as typified by Gore, Dean, Kennedy, Kerry et al are truly evil. And I mean evil with a capital E. Al Gore knows the danger posed to the US by...

WESTERN CIVILIZATION IN 8 EASY PARAGRAPHS The history of civilization is the history of war. The major shifts in the history of the world always follow the clash of civilizations and cultures. Wars between nations only marginally changes things, cultures do not fall. If you look at the 100 years war in Europe , nothing fundamentally changed. England was still England, France was still France. With the American Revolution nothing fundamentally changed. England's colonial strength was diminished but England didn't change. America still spoke English, still embraced a Western style culture and still considered England out cousins. The multitude of...

I have been reading thread after Thread about Kerry. Most recently scrutiny of his military records. Something strikes me as smelling worse than yesterday's diaper. Here is a presidential candidate. >Supposedly grew up in the shadow of the Kennedy's. Has the initials of JFK. >Son of an Ambasador who Went to Switzerland for his early education. >Went to Vietnam and took a film crew to document his crashing though the Jungles. >Took a film crew with him in Dress Blues to re-enact his Vietnam experience. >Gets 3 purple hearts without a significant injury that he nominates himself for, Gets awards...

This week marks Yom HaShoah, the day of remembrance for the Holocaust. But it also marks another Jewish date even more important: the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. While many Jews find their Jewish identity only through the death of the 6 million, they ought to look to a far more inspiring event as a source of Jewish identity. Jews have experienced violent persecution for thousands of years. There was nothing completely new about the Holocaust -- it was an old story, retold on a massive scale. The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising was something different. It established a different identity for Jews. It...

SANDUSKY -- A 50-year-old man remained hospitalized in critical condition last night as a result of being trapped under an organ in his apartment for up to 10 days, according to Sandusky police and people involved in the case. On Wednesday afternoon, two men found Elex Pentorn Jr. trapped under an organ in his McDonough Street apartment, according to Sandusky police. It was unclear exactly how long Pentorn was trapped beneath the instrument, but mail in his mailbox dated back to April 2, building owner Mark Bertsch said. On Wednesday, a tenant called Bertsch and said Pentorn's mail had been...

I was just reading another John F'ng Kerry thread. I have been hearing the came crapulence for 3 years. All of these Democrats howling about "Questioning Their Patriotism" I have never heard the President, any member of his administration , any member of congress or any conservative pundit speak any words questioning the patriotism of any of the Democrat politico's. On the other hand , I have heard positions being commented on. I have heard consistencies and inconsistencies pointed out. I have heard the actual votes made by these howlers pointed out. Since when did pointing out reality become calling...

Does anybody know how to check on a problem at the Airport in New Jersey tonight.

I just found out that my 42 year old neice has a brain tumor. She just found out on Friday. Her only symptom was hearing loss. Apparantly it is the size of a golf ball. Surgery is scheduled for Friday. I haven't had a chance to call her or her mom. I had a call from my youngest sister as I was literally going out the door to work today. A brain tumor is never a good thing but confirmation of malignancy can only be done by examining the thing. My sister has already been through Hodgkins disease with her...
