A '''Liberal Inability To Abstract''' underlies common [[liberal]] beliefs, particularly among those who have difficulties with certain abstractions.

Liberals like [[Michael Moore]] can be heard making arguments apparently designed to appeal to people who have difficulties grasping the abstract flaws.

Here is a list of flawed liberal beliefs based on the increasingly levels of abstraction needed to debunk them:
