Liberal logic

Liberal logic is an argument that has emotional appeal to a liberal, but is nonsensical. Let's build a list:
- belief that a correlation (e.g., between atheism and suicide) can be disproved by a poor counterexample (e.g., one atheist who remained sane)
- 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)
- insisting on "tolerance" for anything that is anti-Christian, and censorship for anything is Christian
- 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)
