Further to Walter Longyear’s letter of
last week on taxes, in that letter he referred to the “Democrat Party.”
One of the advantages of being a member of the Republic Party is that one needn’t distinguish between the nominal and adjectival forms of certain words.
Another advantage is that a Republic like Walter Longyear can say, “For liberals, taxes are never high enough,” and then, treating the quote as a fact, build his entire argument on it. The trouble here is that the quote is a factoid, not a fact.
A factoid is fictitious or unsubstantiated, but when presented as a fact it may be accepted because of constant repetition. Factoids are closely related to “spin,” of which the Republics are devotees.
A final advantage is that Republic Party members know the difference between right and wrong, and are ipso facto better able to tell the difference
