Maggie's Farm

Protip: to the author, Don Bourdeaux, if you're going to trash supermarket customers who read Hush Hush, etc., don't admit to being one.

I read that stuff, I want to know about UFO abductions and the latest Elvis sightings. regardless, I always spot false analogies, strawman caricatures and a few other flaws of reasoning that Borurdeaux indulges in because, (1) he doesn't know he's making a flawed argument (-110) or (2) he thinks his readers are too stupid to know what he's doing (-110).

that said, we conservatives know that we live in a country with constitutional limitations on the reach of both the federal and state governments, where rights sometimes have to be vindicated by restricting other, less important rights.

so when I propose eliminating abortion, I do this with reference to a constitutional right of the baby to live and restricting the right of a state to legally kill her.

when a libtard proposes gun control, its possible, however unlikely, to couch the argument within constitutional parameters.

however, when some laissez faire-style maven begins whining about "how government orders me about", its by reference to no law, no morality, in fact, makes him sound like a petulant teenager.
