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

  1. no matter what happens in the weather, global warming caused it
  2. 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)
  3. never admit shame for liberal behavior, but often tell others they should be ashamed of themselves
  4. free speech for anything and everything ... except the conservative truth, and religion.
  5. Hollywood promotion of abortion is welcomed, but views of Hollywood actresses towards their own children are concealed
  6. insisting that an atheistic culture cannot harm anyone, but also insisting that classroom prayer can cause harm
  7. carrying an unborn child to birth reduces risk of breast cancer, but doing the opposite (an abortion) somehow does not increase that risk
  8. requesting increased spending by government to reduce poverty, which actually poverty is increased by the dependency
  9. insisting on "tolerance" for anything that is anti-Christian, while censorship for anything is Christian
  10. insisting that teaching abstinence does not reduce premarital sex
  11. denying that widespread ownership of guns, largely defensive weapons, can reduce crime
  12. insisting that increasing taxes must increase government revenue, when often people just work less and revenues then decline
  13. 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.)[1]
  14. The pronoun "he" has been used to include men and women for centuries, but liberals find that illogical today
