cool...

Most advocates of a specific point of view try to prove the unprovable.

One cannot prove a negative.

Two of my favorites:

"We haven't had a terror attack on US soil in five years".

"We are better off fighting them there than fighting them here".

While both statements have some truth to them, the reasoning behind them is faulty.

As are statements like "stay the course" (What is the course?) and "cut and run" (what would be the result of THIS action?)
Slogans, simply meant to eliminate meaningful dialogue. That is the "political way".

No deep thought, just jingoism.
