Liberal logic

Liberal logic is an argument by liberals that is deceptively attractive to some, but is actually nonsensical. Here are some examples:

1. insisting that someone needs to experience something (e.g., drugs, pornography, gambling, etc.) before being able to criticize it
2. personal experience dictates personal views, rather than rising above bad and/or unusual experiences and basing one's views on logic
3. frequent reliance on circular reasoning, as in demanding censorship of intelligent design while simultaneously citing the resulting silence as proof against it
4. claim that switching from heterosexual to homosexual is customary, but switching back is somehow impossible
5. criticize Christians for literal interpretations of Genesis, but then insist on even more literal interpretations when it suits the liberal ideology
6. no matter what happens in the weather, global warming caused it
7. 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)
8. 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!"
9. never admit shame for liberal behavior, but often tell others they should be ashamed of themselves
10. 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
11. 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)?
12. Barack Obama on Afghanistan: with fewer soldiers, we didn't have enough ammo and humvees!
13. free speech for anything and everything ... except the conservative truth, and religion.
14. insisting on "tolerance" for anything that is anti-Christian, while censorship for anything is Christian
15. Hollywood promotion of abortion is welcomed, but views of Hollywood actresses towards their own children are concealed
16. carrying an unborn child to birth reduces risk of breast cancer, but choosing abortion rather than childbirth somehow does not increase the relative risk
17. requesting increased spending by government to reduce poverty, when actually poverty is increased by the dependency
18. insisting that an atheistic culture cannot harm anyone, but also insisting that classroom prayer can cause harm
19. insisting that teaching abstinence does not reduce premarital sex and associated disease
20. insisting that premarital sex is fine
21. insisting that increasing taxes must increase government revenue, when often people just work less and revenues then decline
22. denying that widespread ownership of guns, largely defensive weapons, can reduce crime
23. 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.)
24. 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'.
25. Getting rid of a sadistic dictator by going into Iraq was wrong but stepping into Sudan is not.
26. The United Nations is better suited to judge and direct a country's actions rather than the country itself.
27. It is a right to dissent against American policy but never take a stand if that logic moves beyond dissent and becomes treason.
28. The wondrous, pristine national park of ANWR needs protection to keep its' beauty. Though, it is but a remote barren tundra that nobody visits.
29. It's not fair to the world that America keeps the thermostat at 72 degrees at all times.
30. It is ok to demean an African-American if they are a conservative, if they are a liberal then you are a racist.
