Bushisms

So by Cycel logic...

Black people don't like George Bush...

Therefore George Bush is... Black?

"Lookie here, Mordachai! We got one of them self-hatin' Jews!"

"Let's get 'em, Hershel!"

I think thats how it works, although George Bush may not be Black he could he mexican.

I have no idea what Cycel logic is. Perhaps you mean "Aristotelian logic", or, more easily, a syllogism, based on what you described? However, there is no major premise in the first argument, only a minor one, so you wouldn't be able to deduce from that argument that George Bush is black. An example of a correct syllogism with universal affirmatives is illustrated by the following:

All men are pigs.

All pigs are intelligent.

All men are intelligent.

So, if you were trying reach your assumption that "George Bush doesn't like black people", then would would have the following arguments:

All people are black.

George Bush doesn't like people.

George Bush doesnt like black people.

(and therefore, since all people are black...)

George Bush is black.

(But as you see, it is flawed logic).

Enjoy.

Well, it's valid logic, just not SOUND logic. :)
