Logic for dummies...

So I heard 14-year-old speaker Tricia Willoughby at the recent Madison Tax Day Tea Party was drowned out by protesters.

Here's what the teenager actually said:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFpeF4X7Ubo.  Yeah, really extreme stuff.  Really deserving of being called a "brat".

One commenter named willonomous, with an obvious learning disability said:

Also, for petes sake, if she's 14, she can't vote, yet it's okay to make her stand upto people telling them her views? If she's mature enough to have a unbiased view, she'd be allowed to vote. But she's not, because she's 14, so isn't

* Face-palm *

God, please tell me this commenter's not a teacher of anything that requires mastery of logic.    If he/she/it is a teacher, let's hope it's something harmless, like art.

Or journalism.

Let me see if I get this right:  She's 14.  The government says because she's 14, she can't vote.  It doesn't matter how "mature" or "unbiased" she could become in the eyes of willonomous (in other words, how much her opinion meets his/her/its approval), she still can't vote.

Perhaps if willonomous had been able to hear the speech instead of the protester's mouth, he would've realized that her speech was about how the reckless spending of the federal government carries a price borne more by Tricia's generation than the loud-mouthed buffoon shouting at her.
