Useful Idiot Logic

Colleges used to teach sequential logic, a three part statement that proves the conclusion via a central link. Liberal education has no use for it, so it had to go. Here's an example:

Fingers are part of the hand; the hand is part of the body; therefore fingers are part of the body.

Even a liberal wouldn't debate something so obvious. Since truth is their kryptonite, they use two part inferred logic, which is always false. To whit:

You don't wear the rainbow jersey; therefore you're a homophobe.

Note the absence of a link, since none exists. The burden of proof is on the accuser, which isn't a problem since he has a blank check courtesy of the fake media. Has the accused made anti-gay threats or jokes?--belonged to a vigilante group that stalks them? Note also that 'phobia' is an irrational fear, such as that of sunflowers (yep--it's on record). Here's another entertaining example of child-like reasoning:

The president said four non-white congresswomen should go back to their home countries; therefore he's a racist.

Wow, where to even begin. First, the president has never made a racist statement. Second, note the omission of the real target of his ire: the rabid anti-Americanism of these four useful idiots. His remark is an opinion: If you hate this country, then leave. Now let's prove our useful idiot comment.

Useful idiots, as defined by Joe Stalin, blindly follow the communist party line; these four women blindly follow the communist party line; therefore these women are useful idiots.

The proof of their communist agenda is abundantly found in their hatred of Israel, dislike of strong borders, anti-Christian statements, love of socialism. . . .that's another post entirely. Case closed.
