Marines letter to Feinstein

Re: Marines letter to Feinstein

I feared for a second that he'd done that while still serving. He would have been out pretty shortly.

Thanks you, Joshua.
 
Re: Marines letter to Feinstein

Jeff cooper said it well:
" a rifle itself has no moral stature as it has no will of it's own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the ways of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."

So say we all.

Re: Marines letter to Feinstein

And a typical liberal response:(I will review at the bottom)

dss1437


I question this soldiers mental status. He has shown a perfect case of paranoia. He fights for his country yet he believes he thinks the government is out to take his weapons away. There is a constitutional amendment protecting him about owning a gun or guns. But where in the constitution does it say he has a right to own an assault rifle? What weapons he may have is not in the second amendment. Where does it say that he can own 100 shot clips for his assault weapons? I now question his ability to be fit for deployment in a war zone.

First three sentences are an Ad homonym attacks on the author and therefore invalid and unsound.
Fourth sentence states there is a protection for arms, admission, ok
Fifth sentence begs the question, another propaganda technique and therefore invalid and unsound.
Sixth again begs the question, as well as incorrectly states that there is a high capacity clip(no such thing, they hold either five or ten rounds), but begging the question is invalid and unsound.
The final sentence again yields to an Ad homonym attack and finalizes the unsound and invalid statement of the whole

We all now that how the liberal mind works. It relies on propaganda, biased information, attack, and has no truth within it except that which is skewed to support itself. With that, here is some very valid information for your use when you meet these people, you too can destroy their premises with ease.



The Rules of Propaganda

•Ad Hominem: A Latin phrase which has come to mean attacking your opponent, as opposed to attacking their arguments.

•Appeal to authority: Appeals to authority cite prominent figures to support a position, idea, argument, or course of action.

•Appeal to fear: Appeals to fear seek to build support by instilling anxieties and panic in the general population, for example, Joseph Goebbels exploited Theodore Kaufman's Germany Must Perish! to claim that the Allies sought the extermination of the German people.

•Appeal to Prejudice: Using loaded or emotive terms to attach value or moral goodness to believing the proposition. For example, the phrase: "Any hard-working taxpayer would have to agree that those who do not work, and who do not support the community do not deserve the community's support through social assistance."

• Argumentum ad nauseam: This argument approach uses tireless repetition of an idea. An idea, especially a simple slogan, that is repeated enough times, may begin to be taken as the truth. This approach works best when media sources are limited and controlled by the propagator.

•Bandwagon: Bandwagon and "inevitable-victory" appeals attempt to persuade the target audience to join in and take the course of action that "everyone else is taking."

o Inevitable victory: invites those not already on the bandwagon to join those already on the road to certain victory. Those already or at least partially on the bandwagon are reassured that staying aboard is their best course of action.

o Join the crowd: This technique reinforces people's natural desire to be on the winning side. This technique is used to convince the audience that a program is an expression of an irresistible mass movement and that it is in their best interest to join.

•Black-and-White fallacy: Presenting only two choices, with the product or idea being propagated as the better choice. (e.g., "You are either with us, or you are with the enemy")

•Beautiful people: The type of propaganda that deals with famous people or depicts attractive, happy people. This makes other people think that if they buy a product or follow a certain ideology, they too will be happy or successful.

•Big Lie: The repeated articulation of a complex of events that justify subsequent action. The descriptions of these events have elements of truth, and the "big lie" generalizations merge and eventually supplant the public's accurate perception of the underlying events. After World War I the German Stab in the back explanation of the cause of their defeat became a justification for Nazi re-militarization and revanchist aggression.

•Common man: The "'plain folks'" or "common man" approach attempts to convince the audience that the propagandist's positions reflect the common sense of the people. It is designed to win the confidence of the audience by communicating in the common manner and style of the target audience. Propagandists use ordinary language and mannerisms (and clothe their message in face-to-face and audiovisual communications) in attempting to identify their point of view with that of the average person. For example, a propaganda leaflet may make an argument on a macroeconomic issue, such as unemployment insurance benefits, using everyday terms: "given that the country has little money during this recession, we should stop paying unemployment benefits to those who do not work, because that is like maxing out all your credit cards during a tight period, when you should be tightening your belt."

•Demonizing the enemy: Making individuals from the opposing nation, from a different ethnic group, or those who support the opposing viewpoint appear to be subhuman (e.g., the Vietnam War-era term "gooks" for NLF soldiers), worthless, or immoral, through suggestion or false accusations.

•Direct order: This technique hopes to simplify the decision making process by using images and words to tell the audience exactly what actions to take, eliminating any other possible choices. Authority figures can be used to give the order, overlapping it with the Appeal to authority technique, but not necessarily. The Uncle Sam "I want you" image is an example of this technique.

•Euphoria: The use of an event that generates euphoria or happiness, or using an appealing event to boost morale. Euphoria can be created by declaring a holiday, making luxury items available, or mounting a military parade with marching bands and patriotic messages.

•Disinformation: The creation or deletion of information from public records, in the purpose of making a false record of an event or the actions of a person or organization, including outright forgery of photographs, motion pictures, broadcasts, and sound recordings as well as printed documents.

•Flag-waving: An attempt to justify an action on the grounds that doing so will make one more patriotic, or in some way benefit a group, country, or idea. The feeling of patriotism which this technique attempts to inspire may not necessarily diminish or entirely omit one's capability for rational examination of the matter in question.
