Left_Hand_of_Dorkness:
I don’t think you are. I do, however, think it’s poor form to post an analogy without saying what it’s an analogy to.
You know that Pit rule that parody threads must include a link, so that folks aren’t confused? Something similar is good form in GD: if you’re going to say, “If X is okay, why isn’t Y okay?”, you need to spell out what X is, instead of just saying, “Is Y okay?”
That was confusing. Lemme try again.
Your OP proposed (roughly), “If it’s okay for the president not to enforce immigration law, is it okay for the president not to enforce tax law?” Except it didn’t: it just said, “Is it okay for the president not to enforce tax law?”
Frankly, I thought using the phrase, “It’s the right thing to do,” in my OP, communicated to an audience of politically aware people, was sufficient linkage to the President’s immigration plan.
Thank you.
