I nearly fell out of my chair when I read this blog post today about former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee. Oh…my…word. He is blaming illegal immigration on abortion. Apparently because we heathen women have been able to abort babies in the last thirty years, there has been a gap created in the workforce that illegal immigrants are now having to close. As most will recognise, non sequitur is Latin. Its meaning is roughly ‘it does not follow.’ It is used in instances such as this when logic is extremely flawed.
Where, and before what constituency, could such a ridiculous assertion be taken seriously?
Well, if you guessed the Family Research Council’s Values Voter Summit held this weekend in Washington, you’d be correct.
Reason, it seems, is not a conservative Christian value.
Don’t get me started on the Values Voter Summit. Ok, maybe just one little thing: EVERY VOTER IS A VALUES VOTER!!!! Just because they aren’t Christian values, does not mean they are not valid values. Every person has values to which they ascribe and which direct their life choices, therefore, every voter votes according to his/her values. It is somewhat an oxymoron, people, and I know where the morons are!! Aaarrghhhhhh!!! I think it’s time for a nicotine lozenge….
