How about this reply by Senator Hutchison to a citizen asking what she was doing about an injustice to a border patrol agent?From: Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison [mailto:senator@hutchison.senate.gov] Sent: Tuesday, January 17, 2012 9:22 AMTo: bcawyer@suddenlink.netSubject: Constituent Response From Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison Dear Friend: Thank you for contacting me regarding the very distressing situation of U.S. Border Patrol Agent Jesus Diaz. I share your concerns. On October 20, 2011, Agent Jesus Diaz, Jr. was sentenced to two years in federal prison for improperly restraining a 15 year-old suspected drug smuggler. Agent Diaz testified that he handcuffed the teenage suspect and used physical force to put him on the ground only after the teenager resisted arrest. Nevertheless, the Mexican government pressured our government to prosecute Agent Diaz for excessive use of force, and he was subsequently arrested, prosecuted, and convicted of using excessive force. Key to Diaz’ conviction was the testimony of the teenage drug smuggler, who was given immunity by the federal prosecutor. Many people believe that Agent Diaz was unfairly prosecuted and convicted. Pending legal appeal of his conviction, I have written to Attorney General Eric Holder to ask why the Justice Department pursued the case after Agent Diaz had been cleared of any wrongdoing by two different internal reviews. The dedicated U.S. Border Patrol keeps our borders and our local communities safe and secure. Agent Diaz’ case stands in stark contrast to the plight of Americans who have been arrested in Mexico. In Mexico, there are repeated, credible reports of trumped up or falsified charges, witness intimidation (including murder), constant solicitations of bribes by Mexican officials, routine torture of prisoners, and worse. These unchecked abuses raise serious questions about continued law enforcement cooperation and relations between our two countries. I appreciate hearing from you, and I hope you will not hesitate to contact me on any issue of concern to you.

Fallacies to Look For In Political Persuasion We humans have always had to solve various problems which we encounter in our living, especially as voting citizens of a republic. Typically a problem presents itself. A solution is proposed. Reasons for adopting the solution are presented. A decision is made, hopefully on the basis of sound reasoning based upon actual facts. Sometimes, through ignorance or through design, a false solution is offered and seemingly proved. Needless to say, the solution is flawed, sometimes accidently and sometimes deliberately. In order for the decision mechanism to work, flaws in the decision making process need to be recognized and then avoided. Listed here are some of the most blatant fallacies.Fallacies of reasoning: Ad populum: Most people agree with the solution so it must be right. Often used with statistics as “proof.” The sample used in obtaining the statistical data can be radically skewed, often deliberately. “Fifty million Frenchman can’t be wrong!” Ad hominem: Attacking the person rather than the argument or the solution proposed. This was used on Sarah Palin in the last election! The ethical behavior of a member of her family has nothing to do with the quality of her work or her ideas. We are led to believe that where there is smoke there must be fire even if the fire is faked deliberately. Appeal to pity: The pitiful conditions of people are cited as proof that a certain solution is necessary. Sometimes presented as a Fallacy of Composition in which a single or few cases are demonstrated as proving the need for the entire group to change in the way advocated. Bill Clinton did this by bringing a needy family into wherever he was speaking as an example of proof for what he was proposing. Appeal to fear: If you don’t do what is proposed, disaster will result. Sometimes presented as “do what I say or you are going to be badly hurt!” Tu quoque: Defending one’s behavior on the basis that others have done the same thing. Tu quoque literally means “me too.” Since others have done it don’t blame me! Appeal to tradition: We have always done so and so, therefore we need to continue doing thus and so. The Democratic Party has always been for the working class; therefore what we propose will benefit the working class. Slippery slope: If we start down this line of reasoning or action we will slide into deep and dire trouble. The consequences of choosing this or that solution will start us on a slippery slope which will end in disaster. Fallacies of miscasting the issue: Fallacy of composition: Already dealt with above. One example does not make a generality. Fallacy of division: The opposite of Fallacy of composition. A general condition does not necessarily apply to every individual example. Fallacy of False Dichotomy: It is either this or that, what I propose or what my adversaries propose. There is no middle ground, no third alternative.Fallacies of Misdirecting the Issue: Shifting the burden of proof: The other side must prove their point as either right or wrong. Obama shifted the responsibility of coming up with a budget to the Republicans when it is the administration’s responsibility to propose a budget. Begging the question: When the claim of what is needed is cited as the proof of what is needed. Paint a rosy picture of the future and use that picture as proof that what is advocated should be adopted. A favorite of Obama’s! Straw man fallacy: It is easy to knock over a straw man. Picture what is proposed in a silly or unfavorable light and then destroy it. It seems to destroy the argument but has really done nothing to it. Red Herring technique: Mislead the argument off onto some side issue, thus avoiding talking about the real issue. Ambiguity: Making the issue so ambiguous that no one really understands the issue. “Pass the Obama medical bill and then you will know what’s in it!” Scapegoat: It is their fault not mine! They did it and I’m trying to rectify the bad situation. Obama on blaming Bush for everything he isn’t doing. Personality cult: Look at me, focus on me, I’m your savior! All the TV channels were to devote a certain amount of time focusing on Obama. If they see more of me they will trust me more! They who control the information source control the populace. It is key to brain washing, which influences everyone to some degree. Recognize the technique, realize what it is trying to do to you, and laugh—as you would a used car salesman selling you a car driven only by an elderly lady to and from church! Don’t blame the attempted snooze job any more that the one who buys into it.Prepared and used by permission of Lawrence St. Claire
UPDATE & ALERT ON TSA groping bill !! Just received an email from David Simpson: It appears that there will be a special session calling up numerous bills including SB 8, SB 23, SB 1811, HB 6, etc. We need to let people know and ask the Governor to bring up perhaps the most popular and truly emergency bill of the session. The special session could begin TOMORROW and last at least a week. It also could be called in July, probably on the 11th. Either way we need to be prepared. Pass the word. The main thing is to call, fax, and email NOW asking for HB 1937 AND 1938 to be added to the legislation for the special session. Lets go ahead & add the EPA push back & ILLEGAL Immigrations ! Let him know what YOU think the top issues are >>> & give him YOUR order of priority !! The focus now should be the GOVERNOR who wants to run on a Fed Up campaign for President. I do not know of a much better campaign topic. May God establish the work of our hands. Please find MY email to the governor: Please personalize & send AND Call !! Burn up the FAX, PHONE LINES & EMAIL acct :) Last week, the public demonstrated its overwhelming support for HB 1937 by sending over 1300 emails in one day to the Texas Senate and Lt. Governor. Today, we call upon you to respond to this clear message by making sure HB 1937 and 1938 are place on the agenda for the upcoming special session. If ya want to run for potus with a "Fed Up" campaign >>> I Strongly suggest that IF you want the grass roots support that you look at what We the People of Texas ... rather than a hand full of Tea Parties are "FED UP" with Sir !! We are FED UP with TSA & EPA & ILLEGAL Immigrations issues Sir !! Step up to the plate and PROTECT those that put you in office !! Fulfill the oath of office that you took !! Remember Folks:We have influenced the elections … now its time to put the signs down (for a session), pick up a white paper and begin to influence legislators & legislation! " The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. “Thomas Jefferson wrote: " When the federal government "assumes undelegated powers…" a nullification of the act is the rightful remedy.” What is so hard to understand about THIS right??
