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

  1. 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
  2. Barack Obama on Afghanistan: with fewer soldiers, we didn't have enough ammo and humvees![1]
  3. criticize Christians for literal interpretations of Genesis, but then insist on even more literal interpretations when it suits the liberal ideology[2]
  4. no matter what happens in the weather, global warming caused it
  5. 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)
  6. 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)?
  7. personal experience dictates personal views, rather than rising above bad and/or unusual experiences and basing one's views on logic
  8. never admit shame for liberal behavior, but often tell others they should be ashamed of themselves
  9. free speech for anything and everything ... except the conservative truth, and religion.
  10. Hollywood promotion of abortion is welcomed, but views of Hollywood actresses towards their own children are concealed
  11. insisting that an atheistic culture cannot harm anyone, but also insisting that classroom prayer can cause harm
  12. carrying an unborn child to birth reduces risk of breast cancer, but choosing abortion rather than childbirth somehow does not increase the relative risk
  13. requesting increased spending by government to reduce poverty, which actually poverty is increased by the dependency
  14. insisting on "tolerance" for anything that is anti-Christian, while censorship for anything is Christian
  15. insisting that teaching abstinence does not reduce premarital sex
  16. denying that widespread ownership of guns, largely defensive weapons, can reduce crime
  17. insisting that increasing taxes must increase government revenue, when often people just work less and revenues then decline
  18. 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.)[3]
  19. The pronoun "he" has been used to include men and women for centuries, but liberals find that illogical today
