I reject the premise
that a new thread must have worthwhile content.



But what the hell as long as I've got some space to write:

I also reject the premise that the BushCo Skull & Boner Republican Cabal Administration is in any way legitimate.

5. I also reject the premise,
which is why I stand in opposition to GD and GD:chat.

In the last week I've had two totally spurious threads go all the way to the greatest page from GD, so I speak from a position of authority. :D

8. On a baseball message board that I post on
we have a 'Pointless thread' just for this purpose - posting really, really pointless things.
But does THIS post belong here? It seems to have a point.
Oh well... :shrug:

10. As I reckon it, the point is that lots of psuedo-conservative propaganda
Talking Points must be strongly and clearly rejected as premises for worthwhile discussion of what is happening in America.

The NeoCon republican propaganda machine keeps setting illegitimate premises for debate.

They must be rejected, and the subject at hand must be engaged on a legitimate premise.

This is the premise I accept.

Have been some illuminating DU threads in recent weeks on this key rhetorical point.
