    Sorry I didn't spell it out with exact numbers, the word "many" will fit. Social programs to help the elderly die with less pain. OK... that is good and nice. Lots of drugs in the system helps speed up the dying process. Killing babies - abortion if you didn't catch that.

    Mother nature, ying-yang, numbnuts, trees-bees-birds, whatever it is they would sacrifice a human life in place of.

    Read the threads here to see the comments from some loving, caring, liberals that say they could care less what happens to people outside our country. Then outside their state, city, house...

    Having a world view and caring for people of all ages, sex, religion, status, economics, race - not by just giving money to some corrupt government, but by having part in their world. Education can help a lot in third world countries.

    Could you imagine what would happen if we took government out of the picture when it comes to helping people!?!?

    Just think - we give 1,000,000 to a government agency - 500 employees at $40k year plus benefits - oh we are already in the hole???

    Or how about give $1m to the people who need it and have those 500 people get jobs that produce SOMETHING! - Now $1m is getting used more properly and 500 more people are actually doing productive work! Wow what a concept.

    Well I'm just wondering if you mean many, as in the majority, or many as in more than a third, or what. As it seems to be a contradiction that a given person can be both for and against war.

    A liberal politician advocating for prescription drug benefits for the elderly so that they can afford things like antibiotics to fight disease and anti-cancer drugs is hardly a politician fighting for death.

    I was specifically addressing liberal Christian politicians. How is a liberal Christian politician attempting to provide state-sponsored antibiotics and flue shots a nature worshiper seeking to reduce the numbers in the human population?

    Again, I wasn't addressing those particular people.

    Yes. I agree that improved education is a good goal. And some liberals are fighting to increase government money spent on those programs. I.e. Liberal (large) amounts of spending of government money towards education.

    Actually the demos are only for anything when it is popular, or polls indicate that they should be in favor of it. Makes no difference if it is right or wrong. They live their lives basing their decisions on the court of public opinion. It's truly sad to be a sheeple as AGS calls himself and others like him.

    Sad, very sad...

    They want to live by what the majority thinks is right and yet they whine about the minority not being heard.

    Incorrect. Demos never do what the majority wants. They do what the media and polls instruct them too. Poll 300 million people instead of 900 people from the same demographic. Things are gonna be different.

    I should try and fanagle my way into being the one who questions everyone. I haven't used that tactic in a while :p

    I believe that the multi-person debate style of pointing out logical errors and debate fallacies is colloquially known as "Android", however to do so successfully requires some debate training, or at least a healthy understanding of the specific names of debate fallacies, and how to correctly spot them.

    I've found that pointing out fallacies typically just devolves the debate into an argument about fallacies.

    I hear ya, Josh. I know how to spot the patterns, I see varying styles/types all the time, but don't know the names.

    I've found that when you sit on a fence long enough, you're bound to get a few splinters in yer ass!

    Well personally I often sit on the fence because one yard is full of crap and the other side is full of rabbit pit bulls. The splinters tend to be preferable.

    The problem with ignoring fallacies in debate is that if to many pile up people just keep arguing themselves in a circle, and I mean FAR worse than if you somehow manage to point out and remove the fallacies. It doesn't work all the time.

    I hereby Justify my usage:

    Pit bulls used to hunt for rabbits can be called rabbit pit bulls, just as dogs used to hunt for birds can be called bird dogs. Though why anyone would want too...

    That and apparently I didn't notice that I hit the wrong line when using my FireFox spell checker when I miss-spelled it as "rabbid."

    Are you purposely trying not to understand what I wrote? I am not putting anything out there as facts with numbers to back them up. I am putting a thought out there - with reasons behind it. I feel like you understand what I am saying but spent too much time in debate class, so you are geared to debate it rather than to think about it and discuss what I wrote.

    In my opinion- (this one seems to be fact) liberals love abortion and would rather have babies killed than educate someone about sex in other ways than they are pushing in school today.

    In my opinion- backed by todays zoning laws and public land issues - is that liberals want as much land as possible untouched or reverse the use thereof to be that of its original (pre-man) state. AND to put people into small sections pilled on top of each other.

    In my opinion - backed by words from the mouths of liberals here and other places - they could really care less about handicapped, elderly, etc.. because it is a burdon to the walet.

    Now you comments about Christian liberal politicians? I don't understand what that would be exactly - seems like an oxymoron from what liberals stand for these days. (not going by the older definition of the word liberal, but by todays examples of liberal thinking) Bush is in a way a Christian liberal politician - some of the things he has passed is liberal in its spending.
