Navigating the Campos maze
Reading Paul Campos’ columns is like walking through Farmer Fritzler’s corn maze — you don’t know where you are going when you start and you don’t know how you arrived when you finish. His Oct. 15 piece, “Romney’s odd view of ‘faith,’” in which Campos attempts to debunk Gov. Mitt Romney’s religious beliefs as a significant factor in the governor’s presidential race, is an example.
He premises his argument by equating “persons of faith” to “persons of politics” or “persons of science.” Nonsense. By common usage, the first refers to persons whose belief system stems from a belief in a deity; the latter two mean essentially nothing or whatever Campos chooses them to mean. This is not an apples-to-oranges thing; more like apples to screwdrivers.
In Campos’ maze, we suddenly come face to face with Ann Coulter, whom Campos dislikes — big time. Maybe it’s her beautiful head of blond hair, and maybe not. However irrelevant Coulter may be to Campos’ subject, he sometimes includes her in his columns simply to inject her with a little Campos venom. He invariably tunes logic out here.
All in all, however, Campos’ columns are good reads. He is one of the few lefties who does appreciate logic even if he does begin at the right side of the equation.

Mitt is an easy read for black disabled Vietnam veterans. He is a felon who should have served 3 years in federal prison already. Mitt's daddy (Nixon cabinet member) illegally interferred into US Selective Service Board's military draft procedures. Mitt's daddy cut him a deal where when NAM broke out, Mitt broke for France where he sipped vino and ate cheese. Black Muslim Elijah Muhammad (Muhammad Ali's religious advisor) sought a Mitt religious draft defermant deal and he was sentenced to 3 years in federal prison. His son, Walllace D. Muhammad, tried the same trick, and YEPPER, old Wallace D. was sentenced to 3 years in federal prison. Bottom line, Mitt's owes black men 3 years in federal prison too.
GHWB held a Bush family draft dodging sweepstakes. In violation of Truman's executive order, which "desegregated" all of our military units, GHWB "resegregated" all of our military units when he carved out a NAM sanctuary slot for "W" in the racially segregated Texas Air National Guard. He also violated the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Mitt's pez campaign manager, Bill Owens won in the GHWB's sweepstakes too. Owens got an unheard-of and illegal congresssional page draft deferment. Owens should serve 3 years in federal prison too. In 1977, President Carter pardoned (Amnesty) NAM draft dodgers. He didn't pardon UCMJ-felons; AWOL, deserters, and guilty of illegal separation and discharge, llike "W" and USSC Judge Sam "Affirmative Action" Aliton. Nor did he pardon Owens and Mitt, who are guilty of collusion and conspiracy. I think all four of these warriors would make great SuperMax or Ft. Lewavenworth prison wives.

The 1960s favorite recreation of his crowd has taken a very heavy toll on this guy's fried brain. PC peaked-out when he dove naked into a Woodstock mud puddle holding the hand of some fellow doper who identified herself as Janis Joplin. PC is living proof that affirmative action doesn't work. His writtings are as clear as two-way traffic down a one-way street.

Posted by rick on November 13, 2007 06:31 PMAgreed, Windon: Campos' columns are a good read and draft dodging by forty acres was a good read and he is always a good read.
