Liberal logic is an argument that has logical appeal to a liberal, but is nonsensical. Let's build a list:

  • free speech for anything and everything ... except the conservative truth
  • 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 guns, largely defensive weapons, must not reduce crime
  • that new laws reducing the gun ownership rate by 0.1% and a subsequent election of a left wing government are not linked
  • that lack of government programs to rehabilitate criminals must not reduce crime
  • that increasing taxes must increase government revenue (no, often people work less)
  • that just because a university calls a member of staff a professor, that makes him a professor (no, they could be lying)
