Liberal logic is an argument that has logical appeal to a liberal, but is nonsensical. Let's build a list:
- an atheistic culture cannot harm anyone, but saying a prayer in class can cause tremendous harm
- increasing spending by government must reduce poverty (no, dependency increases poverty)
- teaching abstinence-only does not reduce premarital sex
- widespread ownership of the largely defensive weapon of gun must not reduce crime
- that lack of government programs to rehabilitate criminals must not reduce crime
- that increasing taxes must increase government revenue (no, often people work less)
