There's been a lot
of buzz the past few days over a chart presented by anti-abortion
representative Jason Chaffetz (See Chart Here). We here at The Pattison
Chronicle didn't think it was fair for highly trained political obfuscators to
have a leg-up on our readers, so we've put together another one of our world
famous guides to help you understand. Behold:
THE PATTISON CHRONICLE GUIDE TO CREATING POLITICAL ARGUMENTS
Step 1:
Pick the
point you want to make. For our purposes we will be using the point that Justin
Bieber has lead to the systematic destruction of the American way of life (you
could really pick anyone for this).
Step 2:
Link
something to your point that helps strengthen your cause. This can be done with
spurious correlations, unrelated factoids, or just plain lying. For our
example, Justin Bieber is the same height as Hitler (100% True), would you let
hitler sing to your kids?
Step 3:
Present your
findings in a seemingly meaninful fashion. Here we have included a graph
correlating attacks by ISIS with Justin Bieber record sales.
Step 4:
Vehemently
defend your point even in the face of overwhelming evidence against it. This
part is key, as if you don't, people will think you are stupid.
That's it, you
should have all you need to create your own ludicrous argument, and piss off
your neighbors. Remember, stick to your point, and never surrender to logic! Be
sure to share any campaigns that you create using our system with us on
Facebook and Twitter. Without you we're just alone in a studio apartment with a
cat (our headquarters), and that's no way to live.
