* Providing government health care for all will reduce illness. (Government provided healthcare would probably result in people going to the hospital more frequently than necessary, causing system overload - this happened in Massachusetts after a similar policy was enacted there. It may also cause a decrease in the number of doctors interested in becoming specialty doctors).

* Government programs reduce poverty. (The problem with such policies is that they create dependence and since poorer people have more children then the rich it only worsens the problem).

* The [[Piltdown Man]] was the missing link, and so was the [[Nebraska Man]]. ([[Liberals]] believed and taught these hoaxes for decades in the 20th century).

* Circular reasoning "proves" something. (For example, assuming an element had a half-life of 700 million years in order to "prove" that the universe is older than 700 million years).

*Believing that an absence of direct [[evidence]] is necessarily an evidence of absence (for example, the apparent lack of [[WMD#Saddam%20Hussein%20and%20WMD|WMD's in Iraq]], despite evidence of a program in place, and the supposed extinction of [[dinosaur]]s despite [[Dinosaur#Dinosaur-like_creatures_in_history_and_modern_sightings|modern sightings]]).<ref>See "[[out of sight out of mind]]".</ref>

* Believing anything that a liberal scientist tells them, such as a 13-foot tall T-rex “magically transforming into a bird” in a given period of time (evolution).
* Believing that the world was originally shaped by “moving space-dirt” (nebular hypothesis).
* Falling for bogus statistics regarding homosexuality; for example, “Out of every 2 men, at least 3 of them are gay.” While this is an attempt by some to make homosexuality appear to be commonplace in American society, it does not address the fact that homosexuality is morally wrong and unhealthy regardless of how many have chosen the path.
* Blindly defending anything Richard Dawkins claims, no matter how outrageous, libelous, or just plain silly it may seem at face value.
* Believing that legalizing marijuana will somehow reduce the number of diseases in America.
* Believing that possession of arms leads to an unrelenting, steadily-increasing desire to use such arms in a reckless or illegal manner against innocent civilians.
