"That, Madame, is intellectual baby-talk."
« on: March 12, 2012, 01:14:22 PM »
Lord Monckton serves up a veritable tour de force of ass kicking at his lecture at Union College in Schenectady, NY, leaving behind a trail of dazed, twitching tree huggers.

This image says it all:

As they filed in, Lord Monckton was chatting contentedly to a quaveringly bossy woman with messy blonde hair who was head of the college environmental faction. Her group had set up a table at the door of the auditorium, covered in slogans scribbled on messy bits of recycled burger boxes held together with duct tape (Re-Use Cardboard Now And Save The Planet). “There’s a CONSENSUS!” she shrieked.

“That, Madame, is intellectual baby-talk,” replied Lord Monckton. Had she not heard of Aristotle’s codification of the commonest logical fallacies in human discourse, including that which the medieval schoolmen would later describe as the argumentum ad populum, the headcount fallacy?  From her reddening face and baffled expression, it was possible to deduce that she had not. Nor had she heard of the argumentum ad verecundiam, the fallacy of appealing to the reputation of those in authority.

Fallacy?  What is that? It sounds like some sort of made up Conservative White Nazi thing.

I love Lord Monckton. Every time he comes onto my radar, I say a prayer for his safety. He is a once-in-a-generation gem, and a treasure to Western civilization.
"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

This useless sack of tainted water isn't used to having her eco-religion challenged, she is more used to bullying people into caving in to her demands or openly joining her ritualistic chants against modern society and industry that gave this little twit the soft easy life she currently enjoys.

Her enjoyment is coming to an end.
