'''Post hoc ergo propter hoc''' ([[Latin]] for "after this; therefore, because of this") is a [[logical fallacy]] used to assume that two sequential events must have a cause-and-effect relationship. It is a subset of the [[Logical fallacy#False cause|fallacy of false cause]].
    
[[Liberal]]s use this fallacy frequently.  For example, they use the fact that [[Barack Hussein Obama]] was elected, and then the economy allegedly started to recover to show that Obama's election caused the economy to recover, which is complete nonsense. Another ridiculous example that they use is good things that supposedly happen in societies that have embraced [[homosexuality]].
