Liberal logic

Liberal logic is a term used to describe arguments made by some liberals that may appear logical, but are actually nonsensical. Here are some examples:

1. Assuming something is true, merely because another liberal said so (see appeal to authority).
2. Denouncing real or perceived censorship of their viewpoints, while advocating for censorship of their opponents.
3. Frequent reliance on circular reasoning.
4. Insisting that someone needs to experience something (e.g., drugs, pornography, gambling, etc.) before being able to criticize it.
5. Claiming one's personal experience as a premise in a logical argument.
6. Claiming that it is "normal" to switch from having sex with women to having sex with men, but that doing the opposite is impossible.
7. Criticizing Christians for literal interpretations of Genesis, but then insisting on hyper-literal, often nonsensical interpretations in an attempt to find contradictions in the Bible.
8. Insisting that the Bible literally prohibits judging anything.
9. Belief that a correlation and/or causation (e.g., between atheism and suicide) can be disproved by a counterexample (e.g., one atheist who died a natural death)
10. Responding to a logical comment or question with an expression of personal like or dislike (for example, a Christian responding to the Sixth Commandment by saying, "But I like it!").
11. Never admitting shame for liberal behavior, but often telling others they should be ashamed of themselves for the same behavior.
12. Stating that Americans should "move on" past the misconduct of Democratic politicians such as Bill Clinton and Ted Kennedy, but should ruminate endlessly on the perceived misdeeds of Republicans, such as George W. Bush.
13. Making highly implausible conjectures, such as that embryonic stem cell research will find a cure for paralysis before an alternative presents itself.
14. Barack Obama on Afghanistan: with fewer soldiers, we didn't have enough ammo and humvees!
15. Supporting free speech and tolerance when their views are threatened with censorship, but arguing that their opponents' views must be suppressed.
16. While allowing that carrying an unborn child to term reduces the risk of breast cancer, denying that having an abortion deprives one of this reduction in risk.
17. Claiming that Christian or religious cultural manifestations, such as classroom prayer, can cause harm to a society, but ignoring any harm caused by atheistic cultural manifestations.
18. Claiming that abstinence does not reduce premarital sex and associated disease.
19. Claiming that non-marital sex is acceptable and normal for Christians.
20. Claiming that an increase in taxes always increases government revenue, when often people just work less and revenues then decline.
21. Denying that widespread ownership of guns (often for defensive use only) can reduce crime.
22. Claiming that 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.)
23. Doing away with traditional language (such as "he" to refer to men and women), despite centuries of previous use.
24. Criticizing the U.S. for not intervening during the Rwandan Genocide, but then claiming that getting rid of a sadistic dictator by going into Iraq was wrong.
25. Justifying dissent by claiming that they do it out of patriotism (e.g., "dissent is the highest form of patriotism") but then defending outright treasonous acts.
26. Arguing that because it is not known how God did a certain thing, God must not exist.
27. Using a double-standard for racism and sexism when the target person is conservative.
28. Claiming that it is extremely offensive to call any culture primitive or barbaric, but then insisting that the writers of the Bible were part of such a barbaric culture.
