lol. Circular reasoning.You need to get your tuition back from that prof. if this is what you think is a logical analogy.
smh.
I would respond but unfortunately you don't supply much of an an argument to which I can respond. Circular? How so? I should get my tutiion back? On what grounds? "All analogies limp" is pretty widely accepted.
eh. No sense in arguing . I have read your other posts.
You are using "gays" and blacks in a mutually exclusive and irrelevant argument. need I say more? Your post style alone shows where you are coming from.
The problem is that you fail to see that black culture is ver similar to southern white culture.

I chanced upon this from Monica Crowley while driving back from Spokane to Seattle after running in the Bloomsday 12K race. The 'runaway slave' project is complete and the documentary will be coming to a theater near you in June. CL Bryant is a former NAACP activist turned Tea Party activist. I'm going to have to listen to Monica on a more regular basis.
Anybody that considers themselves “runaway slaves” because they left the Democratic Party and joined the tea party is clearly delusional. Especially if they use Armstrong Williams clips to make their case. Seriously laughable.

Seriously lacking an argument. Not even a shred of logic or fact to show where he is wrong. Just basic lefty stock-in-trade name-calling.
In the first place, I don't think the analogy "hangs on the ridiculously stupid assertion that most Blacks only vote Democrat to keep welfare going." In fact I'd say it's possible to construct this analogy without even making reference to welfare.
It wouldn't make since to use that analogy on Evangelicals since they were never in their history forced to work on plantations. But if a liberal evangelical wanted to use an anology of evangelicals being led into a 'Republican heresy,' for example, I could see making that analogy.
In the second place it seems problematic to suggest that there is a particular way "how Black Americans think." Not only would it be stupid, but I would take offense if somebody suggested to me that there was some 'white way of thinking.'
1. It does. Everytime this discussion comes up, the plantation is explained by conservatives as blacks wanting welfare and not wanting to heart about personal responsibility. It already happened in this thread.
2. heresy is a poor example of an equivalent argument a liberal could make. So what if a Liberal described escaping the Evangelical inquisition? would that be a fair analogy?
3. I didn't say Blacks think a certain way. I said thinking they only think one way shows you don't know how they think ie being oblivious to the many issues that would lead Blacks to vote Democrat.

Movie will probably suck, most far right wingers are horrible at film making or anything creative, they make great shock jocks however
