re: #16 Killgore Trout

I’m kind of missing the central partisan point here. I can follow the misuse of logic and Republicans certainly have a very serious problem. This argument can be easily applied to liberal thinking as well. It wasn’t long ago that fear of the fascist Bush regime and the draconian patriot act led many liberals to entertain 9-11 conspiracy theories. I also find that liberal’s aversion to no-colonialism to embrace leftist dictators like Chavez, theocracies like Iran and terrorist organizations like Hamas. I think the impulse for faulty logic is a human instinct and shared by conservatives and liberals.
Am I missing something?

I think the point you’ve missed is made in the last paragraph of the post… isn’t it?
