Logic
How much does logic figure into any important
decision you make? Is it a major consideration—or only one of many evaluations?
When it comes to the values by which you order your life, do you try to
anticipate the results of your actions by mentally or intellectually following
the likely responses to those actions that logic would demand? Would it be
reasonable NOT to consider logically what those results might be?
For instance, for homosexuals to desire passive
acceptance of their chosen lifestyle would be one thing. To demand that all
people approve of their sexual preference is another thing altogether. In the
minds of some homosexuals, those who are only attracted to members of the
opposite sex are the ones with the problem, not the homosexual. It is necessary
sometimes to remind them that if every person in America (or the world, for
that matter) practiced homosexuality, the human race would cease to exist. As
of this writing, to my limited knowledge, two individuals of the same sex
cannot procreate except by artificial means. On the other hand, a male and
female can breed and produce children, which would seem to be the way nature
intended. Logic.
Another instance: Nancy Pelosi doesn’t believe that
everyone should be locked into a job so that they can have healthcare. They
should be able to do anything or do nothing except write poetry and still be
afforded health coverage. Apparently, a number of people bought into that
concept, because we have almost half of working-age Americans (47%) drawing some
form(s) of government subsistence. That sounds wonderful—I don’t have to work,
and the government will see to it that I can still eat, have a place to live,
and have free healthcare. Where do I sign up? . . . Only . . . What if every
American chose to avail himself/herself of that opportunity? I heard someone explain
to a newsman who was obviously intellectually inferior that nobody needed to
work, that President Obama could pay for all that, “out of his stash”. Where
did he get that ‘stash’? Formerly, it came from taxpayers. But if we are all
taking advantage of the government’s ‘freebies’ . . . There is no stash. Logic.
One more: I know that the makers of Skittles were
deeply offended when Donald Trump the younger used that delicacy in a word
picture regarding the fallibility in admitting large numbers of un-vetted
immigrants. Allow me to use another equally flawed example. Suppose a friend
gave you a list of babysitters he had obtained somewhere. And suppose he told
you that only one of the thirteen on that list was a homicidal maniac. The
others are as good as gold. Assuming you have young children that you dearly
love, would you take a chance that the one babysitter you hire to keep the
children tonight will not be the one with the penchant for murder? Oh, and
somebody who has never met any of the babysitters will give you his personal
assurance that your babysitter is reliable, dependable and loves children. Take
the chance? I thought not. Now, we know as much about my mythical babysitters
as we know about many of those we are allowing to immigrate to America from
nations like Syria, Iraq—places where it is impossible to conduct a dependable
vetting process. Logic.
We have been following the twisted logic of the
secular humanists (Democrats) for eight years now. Is it logical that we sign
up for another four to eight years this November by electing Hillary Clinton as
President? I didn’t think so. That would be illogical.
