I really doubt Spazz was anything but joking around this entire time. The response has been almost as funny.

+1.......also couldn't the truth be described as a fact....so if Republicans love truth, therefore they have to also love fact. Truth = fact. Fact = truth.

Actually I think it is closer to all facts are the truth, but not all truth are facts. It is true that I love my wife, but it is not necessarily a fact as love can be disputed in it's chemical origins or perception or what-have-you, and it can change. But it is still the truth. But 2+2=4 that is a fact and it is the truth.

Actually, 2 + 2 = 4 is a convention, not a fact.

You're such a douche. I love you.

Actually it is not a convention, it is a fact. He needs to learn what a mathematical convention is. But that is not Unibrows MO, to actually argue facts rather than semantics or opinions loosely based on facts and straw men.

What a shame that LogGrad98 has me on ignore. We could have such a fun time discussing mathematical foundations and the difference between formal and empirical systems.

Well, I'd have fun, at any rate. He apparently doesn't know much about the stuff.

Interesting how often LogGrad98 feels the need to diminish me so frequently, despite having me on ignore. This is at least the third time in less than a month.

Is that a fact? Maybe we need to have a convention to decide!

Does this mean the following statement is correct then?

Democrats love Facts they just hate Truth

Most political players are lawyers as well. It is evident many remember the courtroom strategy advice: If the law is on your side, argue the law. If the facts are on your side, argue the facts. If neither the law nor the facts are on your side, attack your opponent. Explains a lot about the level of public discourse we see.

Most excellent.
