Well us rightwingers are not surprised at all.
Per Plato, Aristotle and all the laws of logic, your thread fails as a moronic Composition Fallacy troll bridge to nowhere.
/thread
So you quote from a couple of guys that believed in rightwing collectivism.
No, actually I quoted your fatal fallacy. "Rightwing" wasn't even invented until 18th century France. You're off by quite a few centuries.
Here, break a brain sweat and learn something.
>> The second type of
fallacy of Composition is committed when it is concluded that what is true of the parts of a whole must be true of the whole without there being adequate justification for the claim. More formally, the line of "reasoning" would be as follows:
- The parts of the whole X have characteristics A, B, C, etc.
- Therefore the whole X must have characteristics A, B, C.
That this sort of reasoning is fallacious because it cannot be inferred that simply because the parts of a complex whole have (or lack) certain properties that the whole that they are parts of has those properties. This is especially clear in math: The numbers 1 and 3 are both odd. 1 and 3 are parts of 4. Therefore, the number 4 is odd.
Example of Composition
- Atoms are colorless. Cats are made of atoms, so cats are colorless. <<
I'm sure this is sailing completely over your head, since you were stupid enough to actually post such a thread, so let us dumb it down into terms you might have a chance of getting:
- David Duke founded a Louisiana Ku Klux Klan chapter. David Duke is a Republican. Therefore all Republicans found Ku Klux Klan chapters.
- Larry Craig got busted soliciting homo sex in an airport bathroom. Larry Craig is a Republican. Therefore all Republicans solicit homo sex in airport bathrooms. After they're done founding Ku Klux Klan chapters of course.
- Dennis Hastert admitted to buggering little boys. Dennis Hastert is a Republican. Therefore all Republicans bugger little boys. After they get out of the airport bathroom where they solicited homo sex and have founded their required-minimum Ku Klux Klan chapter.
- David Vitter solicited prostitutes to make him wear diapers. David Vitter is a Republican. Therefore all Republicans solicit prostitutes to make them wear diapers. When they're not buggering little boys, soliciting homo sex in airport bathrooms or founding Ku Klux Klan chapters.
Etc etc etc. Sure you wanna plant your flag on this fallacy?
Notice also that not a single one of the traits above have jack shit to do with actual
politics, which is what "Republican" and "Democrat" are actually about.
Here endeth the lesson. Learn it.
