I'm swimmin' in a sea of pinheads! Who'd-thunk?

Thanks 12th, I'm honored.

Seriously now, I was talkin' to someone just yesterday who wanted to volunteer to do whatever kinda "job" I needed done, right?

And I mean, these people are very capable, I have no doubt whatsoever that they could do anything they put their minds to.

So, like, I'll try not to raise any terrorist kiddies, but I mean, you know, "other people" usually seem to have minds of their own, kinda thing, so.... you know, the best "I" can do is let 'em know they're likely to be waterboarded if they do that kinda thing....

But I mean, that doesn't mean I ain't gonna shoot the folks that are tryin' to snatch 'em off the streets, right? 'Cause those types, don't usually identify themselves as "police", so I mean, I got "reasonable fear for the life and safety of my family", right?

(see, "even I" can be a weasel, if I wanna be - but I mean, that's another one of those tools, that you kinda wanna use "sparingly", right? )

billie:[emphasis added]

to hear billie tell it we won the war in viet nam - we just declared victory and ran like hell. and he now predicts we will have that same "success" with the guerrila war being waged by the islamic extremists ... hope he is just as wrong in that assessment as he was about winning the VN war

I don't see why this is circular?

The argument boils down to:

The homestead act is conservative by nature
Republicans supported the homestead act
Therefore republicans have supported conservative traits.

If we assume the premises are true, the validity of the argument depends on the meaning of "traits" -- if traits refers back to acts (i.e. Therefore republicans have supported conservative acts") -- it would be a valid deductive argument.

"Republicans supported it making it a conservative trait that they supported."

that part is the key. it appears to be circular logic because it is, or because of poor articulation. thats why its funny to see "in no way circular" at the end.
