As for this old saw:
...a WASP physician endowed with the best education much money can buy, told me that he does not celebrate July 4th because the Declaration of Independence had been written by a slave owner and signed by other slave owners.William F. Buckley, Jr. would have shot it right down as a crude argumentum ad hominem. It's logically equivalent to saying, "Godel was a paranoiac, so his Incompleteness Theorems are just symptomatic of paranoia. Why take a paranoiac seriously?" Although more complex, this statement has exactly the same defect as that dentist's. It's merely less abusive.
Back in those olden days, there wasn't any need to resort to behavioral psychology. Instead, this rule of thumb was used: any professional (i.e., specialist) was typically an ignoramus outside of his specialty. Needless to say, that was thrown out as "elitist" when mass college education came along, and here we are now.
“On Monday’s Mark Levin Show: The Supreme Court has struck down 3 of the 4 statues in the Arizona immigration law case brought before it. Mark says this isn’t a victory for us - the state of Arizona has essentially become a state with de facto amnesty. Mark explains, step by step, the immigration ruling - citing congrats to Justice Scalia for a strong dissent opinion. The Court today removed individual state’s sovereignty, not allowing them to protect themselves if the federal government or DHS says that they won’t enforce federal immigration law and or deportation.”
I trust what Levin says as a very smart legal mind. If not for Levin and Landmark Legal Foundation, Obamacare wouldn’t be before these @sshats. So much for all the folks here who have tried to spin it as a good thing when us regular stooges new different. And that’s without fancy law degrees but with good common sense.
