Mark Twain on argument

Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

~ Mark Twain

Bill Murray on winning an argument

It's hard to win an argument with a smart person, but it's damn near impossible to win an argument with a stupid person.

~ Bill Murray

Tom DiLorenzo on how the Left makes an argument

When a business school professor (actually a lawyer hired to preach left-wing politics to business students) initiated a new course called “Critical Thinking” at my former university I asked her what academic discipline she would be drawing on – philosophy, logic, political philosophy, economics, etc. Her answer was “Oh none of that; we will just criticize people like you.” 

Talking with many of her students over the years I have learned that they were taught nothing about how to structure a criticism by using logic, facts, and theory. Instead, they are taught to condemn, slander, libel, denounce, and smear anyone who voices disagreements with any of the standard leftist platitudes that all college students are bombarded with and have been since elementary school. Ruthless criticism, in other words, just as Marx himself advocated.
