Using God's name....

I have to be honest. Arguing with pakatan supporters is tiring, not in an intellectually stimulating way but in a long winded stupid kind of way.

You start with a point of argument highlighting pakatan's flaws. They first retaliate with the usual "they didn't do it". Once proven that they did the first twist is then put into action "they apologized". So I guess that makes it all good. Make a huge mistake and then just say sorry. I wonder why the Bukit Bendera Umno guy was judged so badly by pakatan when he brought up the 'pendatang' issue few years back? BN apologized didn't they? Yet the pakatan baffoons are still playing up the 'pendatang' thing till this very day. If pakatan did the same then apologized to their own people that makes it ok, but for others it's not. Has pakatan politicians ever owned up for slandering others with false accusations?

Next, they will move on from the "they apologized" argument to "their intentions were good" and the futher twist to it is that we can't highlight and god forbid judge or make it available for others to judge for themselves the actions of these so-called leaders of our community because judging is only for God to do. Fine. Then perhaps pakatan people should not judge others too. They should not accuse police of being cruel since they don't really know the intentions of the officers during the bersih demo clampdown. And they shouldn't judge either for it is up to god not us mere mortals. In a nutshell, we are not allowed to have an opinion if it goes against them.

Then, when all else fails, the focus is then shifted from the people who actually committed the wrongs and turned against the person who highlighted them. Taking personal shots, condemning the one who highlighted the incident and turning the messenger into the villain. Gone is the attention on the actual wrong doers. It now becomes an argument between the person who highlighted the incident and the one
defending pakatan rakyat.

Lastly, comes the holier-than-thou bullshit of "who are you to judge them? Only god can". God's name is the nuclear bomb of all arguments, intellectual or not, bring that into the picture and people will back off. Simply because God is holy, divine, sacred and not a name people want to drag into arguments, particularly involving certain low and loose moral politicians. Furthermore, for people like me my faith is my business. I don't drag God into petty discussions over the actions of cop-biting photoshop libeling politicians.

The details of the debate will be posted in the next posting.

Right now I'm just baffled at how people can view a certain group as being capable of governing. They're prone to errors mistakes, politicizing issues and even personal tragadies for their own benefit yet their die hard (but pretend to be neutral) supporters will find a thousand and one excuses to clear them. The "nuke" of all excuses being religon or in some cases God himself. Sounds very nik aziz
doesn't it?

Ah well.... No great loss really, except they've lost my potential vote. I will not put a bunch of baffoons into power when they can't even admit to small mistakes. How defensive will they be when they commit biggerones? You make a mistake you apologize. You capitalize on an issue and it backfires you own up to it. Don't drag God into this shit....

More to come....

You know, this is so true. The Malays have a saying, "Menegakkan benang yang basah." This beautifully encapsulates the moments when PR supporters open their mouths with their lame arguments.
