mLine 1:
Line 1: − '''Liberal logic''' is an argument by [[liberal]]s that is deceptively attractive to some, but is actually nonsensical. Here are some examples:+ − − # insisting that someone needs to experience something (e.g., drugs, pornography, gambling, etc.) before being able to criticize it − # personal experience dictates personal views, rather than rising above bad and/or unusual experiences and basing one's views on [[logic]] − # frequent reliance on [[circular reasoning]], as in demanding censorship of [[intelligent design]] while simultaneously citing the resulting silence as proof against it<ref>See, e.g., [[Richard Sternberg]].</ref> − # claim that switching from heterosexual to [[homosexual]] is customary, but switching back is somehow impossible − # criticize [[Christians]] for literal interpretations of [[Genesis]], but then insist on even more literal interpretations when it suits the [[liberal]] ideology<ref>For example, [[liberals]] here insist that [[homeschooling]] can only mean being taught while in someone's own home. Liberals also often insist that the [[Bible]] literally prohibits judging anything.</ref> − # no matter what happens in the weather, [[global warming]] caused it − # belief that a [[correlation]] and/or [[causation]] (e.g., between [[atheism]] and [[suicide]]) can be disproved by a [[counterexample]] (e.g., one [[atheist]] who remained sane) − # often a [[liberal]] responds to a logical comment or question with an (illogical) expression of personal like or dislike, as in "but I like it!" − # never admit shame for [[liberal]] behavior, but often tell others they should be ashamed of themselves − # [[Americans]] should "move on" past the misconduct of [[Bill Clinton]] and [[Ted Kennedy]], but should dig up as much old dirt as possible about [[John McCain]] − # if [highly implausible assumption like "[[embryonic stem cell]] research will find the cure for paralysis"], then would you support it (without any consideration of alternatives)? − # [[Barack Obama]] on [[Afghanistan]]: with fewer soldiers, we didn't have enough ammo and humvees!<ref>[http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/21/us/politics/21text-demdebate.html?sq=transcript&st=nyt&scp=2&pagewanted=print]</ref> − # [[free speech]] for anything and everything ... except the [[conservative]] truth, and religion. − # insisting on "tolerance" for anything that is anti-[[Christian]], while censorship for anything is [[Christian]] − # [[Hollywood]] promotion of [[abortion]] is welcomed, but views of Hollywood actresses towards their own children are concealed − # carrying an unborn child to birth reduces risk of breast cancer, but choosing [[abortion]] rather than childbirth somehow does not increase the relative risk − # requesting increased spending by [[government]] to reduce poverty, when actually poverty is increased by the dependency − # insisting that an [[atheistic]] culture cannot harm anyone, but also insisting that classroom prayer can cause harm − # insisting that teaching [[abstinence]] does not reduce premarital sex and associated disease − # insisting that premarital sex is fine − # insisting that increasing taxes must increase government revenue, when often people just work less and revenues then decline − # denying that widespread ownership of guns, largely defensive weapons, can reduce crime − # Even though the [[Supreme Court]] overrules precedents every year by 5-4 votes, [[Roe v. Wade]] cannot be overruled, or can only be overruled if it is a unanimous 9-0 vote (this argument tries to make irreversible law out of the dicta in a weak majority opinion in ''[[Planned Parenthood v. Casey]]'', even though the very creation of that "secret opinion" was procured by [[liberal deceit]].)<ref>See Jeffrey Toobin's ''The Nine''.</ref> − # The pronoun "he" has been used to include men and women collectively for centuries, but [[liberals]] find that illogical today. This does not mean to replace the word 'she' on the article for Hillary Clinton with 'he'. − # Getting rid of a sadistic dictator by going into [[Iraq]] was wrong but stepping into [[Sudan]] is not. − # The [[United Nations]] is better suited to judge and direct a country's actions rather than the country itself. − # It is a right to dissent against [[American]] policy but never take a stand if that [[logic]] moves beyond dissent and becomes treason. − # The wondrous, pristine national park of [[ANWR]] needs protection to keep its' beauty. Though, it is but a remote barren tundra that nobody visits. <ref>[http://townhall.com/columnists/MaryFallin/2008/07/24/anwrs_place_in_our_energy_picture ANWR's Place In Our Energy Picture] Townhall.com, July 24, 2008</ref> − # It's not fair to the world that [[America]] keeps the thermostat at 72 degrees at all times. <ref>[http://www.spectator.org/dsp_article.asp?art_id=13459 Freedom and the View From Obamaland] American Spectator, July 1, 2008</ref> − # It is ok to demean an African-American if they are a [[conservative]], if they are a [[liberal]] then you are a [[racist]]. − − ==See also== − *[[Liberal]] − *[[Liberal bias]] − *[[Liberal hysteria]] − *[[Liberal hate speech]] − *[[Liberal style]] − *[[Liberal denial]] − *[[Liberal obfuscation]] − *[[Liberal quotient]] − *[[Liberal friendship]] − − ==References== − − − {{Liberalism}} − − −
