Jonah Goldberg’s Shining (Liberal Fascism with LOLcats)

Apparently, Goldberg unearths for the first time shocking similarities between Nazis and liberals. For example, Nazis wanted to clean up the environment. So do liberals! Nazis wanted to cure cancer. So do liberals! Nazis liked organic food and many were vegetarians. So are many liberals!

If you go to a public school in the U.S. there is a basic path that your writing will be required to follow. An opening statement followed by supporting paragraphs in which you present your evidence. Unfortunately the quality of logic used in those supporting statements at the secondary level is inconsistent at best. One thing you shouldn’t be able to get away with (Goldberg is a Goucher College graduate) in trying to make your case to readers is a logical fallacy called the missing middle. - *All reptiles are exothermic. All lizards are reptiles. All lizards are exothermic. - Notice how all the terms are in agreement. Reptiles agrees with exothermic. Reptiles also agrees with lizards. Lizards agrees thus agrees with exothermic. Not that difficult and by the time you’ve reached your sophomore year in college you probably have all your terms lined up out of habit. Why Goldberg’s arguments missing their logical agreement. In a book length examination of a topic there are a couple of possible explanations. One is just intellectual laziness. The author didn’t want to be bothered with doing their research so they just wrote down some assertions unsupported by research to fill the page or in this case possibly his publishing contract. Goldberg has openly, if inadvertently admitted that he doesn’t like to be bothered with some research (Jonah’s working title is “Great Thinkers I Have Skimmed, or Dragging My Lazy Ass to the Computer One Mo’ Time”). The other reason in Goldberg’s case is that he has emotionally and or ideologically invested into a falsehood and is lying to support the false premise. Goldberg seems to be attempting to do with liberalism what Ben Stein is trying to do with science.

While Mike Myers talents are debatable he hardly seems worth all this trouble, The British Film Institute Refuses to Screen ‘The Love Guru’

Well, for a tempest in a teapot the controversy over Mike Myers’ comedy The Love Guru seems to be heating up by the day. CJ Report confirmed that the British Film Institute has responded to Hindu protests, and has issued a statement that the prestigious institution will “not be screening this title nor will be involved with a possible release of it.” Now this doesn’t mean the film will not be shown in the UK, but the BFI’s refusal to support the film must come as a blow to Myers, a committed anglophile.
