Logical fallacies abound

I just heard some ranting leftist in Wisconsin who got her 15 seconds of fame shouting “We’re doing this for the kids.”  More: “It’s because of unions that we have weekends, the 8-hour work day, and collective bargaining.”  (Which of those strikes you as not belonging in the list of important innovations, especially for the over-protected class of government employees?)  And continuing: “If we don’t do this (protest against Wisconsin Governor Walker’s budget and public sector union reforms), our kids won’t have weekends or 8-hour work days or collective bargaining!”

I loved hearing that because it shows just how ridiculously extreme the left’s goals are.  Noboby believes the first two things are at risk, and few believe the last is an important “right”, particularly in the public sector.

The main thing likely to beat the left is a growing awareness of what they’re really about.  The great awakening of the nation began with the election of Barack Obama, and the result of the initial political indigestion was the November 2010 electoral regurgitation all over Democrats.  Wisconsin continues to pour Progressive Ipecac down our throats, with a result predictible to all but those doing the pouring – and you’d think the ones at the most risk, standing right in front of the recipients, would know better.
