==False arguments based on slippery wording==
We need to distinguish between real [[torture]] and "things prohibited by anti-torture laws". This is like the distinction between real [[air pollution]] and things like "emitting gases which liberals say will cause enhanced global warming".
The destruction of distinctions is one of the tactics of liberals and totalitarians, as noted in George Orwell's ''[[1984]]'' - with the aim to reduce all human speech to nothing more significant than animal noises (see [[duckspeak]]).
We can also see it in the drive for [[homosexual marriage]], as if it made '''any''' sense to speak of a pair of men (or women) as a "married" couple.
In terms of classical logic, the argument goes like this:
#Torture is so bad that it should always be against the law.
#P is torture.
#Therefore, P should be against the law.
Liberals and other enemies of US security (and the security of our allies and friends) don't care whether anyone is being tortured. They only want America's enemies to win. So they try to ban things that we need in our fight against them.
If they really cared about torture, they would shout to the high heavens about what Saddam did to political prisoners, or what China is still doing to the [[Falun Gong]]. When was the last time you heard or saw anything about THAT in the mainstream media?
Whenever there's a [[double standard]], you can always find that what they really want is different from what they say. That's why no one really trusts the liberals. They only use people. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 18:20, 30 July 2010 (EDT)
