Defenders Discrediting Themselves
Recently we in Kenosha have been in uproar about health care and its cost of coverage.
The
2008 challenger to Paul Ryan made reform a key
part fo her campaign,
though many voters didn't understand her or
what Democrats wanted to
make clear.
This
Friday morning, far from the Black Friday
shopping spree, I find in the Racine paper a
letter praising Paul Ryan and
denouncing a previous letter Mrs. Krupp sent to
Journal Times. It appears under a headline
"Get facts right" and completes raking
over Marge Krupp with this
sentence:
Marge Krupp's deceptive "facts" must be what Don Quixote meant when he said, "Facts are the enemy of truth."
That
sentence has two clues in it that most of us
recognize:
1)
our justice system, our scientific discoveries
and just about
everything else depends on discerning fact, on
seeking the truth, so
the quotation is foolish, on its
face;
2) Don
Quixote is the main character of a novel, of
fiction. The novel is
generally considered a satire, a joust at a
windmill with a lance from
centuries past.
In
fact, you could say the
writer criticizing Marge Krupp has well proved
the exact edict of the
headline, "Get Facts Right", by failing at it.
While defending Paul
Ryan with a clueless reference to a satirical
anti-truth.
It's a
priceless instance of Republicans and defenders
of Paul Ryan discrediting
themselves.
Happy
Thanksgiving
Weekend.
