1)
The modern American "peace movement" is responsible for the deaths of
far more people than the U.S.-involved wars its members have protested
over the past half century. Why then are so many Americans still
convinced that going to war is the worst thing our country can do?
2) Over the course of its existence, our planet has been much colder
and much warmer than it is today, having endured periodic ice ages and
various cataclysmic natural events. That being the case, why would
anyone choose to believe that human beings are responsible for the
earth's most recent, and relatively mild, climatic shift?
3) The Bush doctrine of preemptive warfare would -
in all likelihood - have saved tens of millions of lives had it been
implemented against Nazi Germany prior to Hitler's invasion of Poland
in 1939. So why do human rights activists today insist that stopping
Islamofascists from acquiring nuclear weapons isn't worth the cost in
human life?
4) Monetary transactions between private citizens
are what fuel our economy. The government taxes private citizens,
thereby removing money from the economy. Since economic growth is
dependent upon increased monetary transactions within the private
sector, why do Democrat lawmakers routinely propose raising taxes,
especially on those citizens who invest the most money in our economy?
5) The word viable - as it applies to human beings - means capable of
life or normal growth and development. An unborn human being during
every stage of gestation is clearly alive and capable of normal
development, unless he or she is genetically predisposed to abnormal
growth or is hindered in some way from developing naturally by an
external force. That being the case, why do some people argue that
unborn human beings are non-viable during the earliest stages of their
development, and therefore, appropriate candidates for abortion?
6) The Geneva Conventions' protocols relative to the treatment of
prisoners of war, were created for the purpose of holding the
signatories of the various treaties which make up those Conventions to
a certain moral standard of behavior during times of war. Any
entity, be it a nation, group, or individual, that does not adhere to
the standards set forth therein, is not subject to the Conventions'
protections under international law. How then can one justify affording
such protections to terrorists, who ignore all of the aforementioned
behavioral standards?
Oh, and one last thing...
7) If
George W. Bush is as stupid as so many liberals claim, how did he
manage to steal an election, mastermind 9/11, cover up his
administration's involvement in that event after the fact, con
practically every Congressional Democrat into going to war with Iraq
just so he could further enrich his cronies in the oil industry,
single-handedly destroy every American's civil rights via the Patriot
Act, and then steal a second election on top of all that? And if he's
really an evil genius, which he'd surely have to be to get away with
even half of those things, why aren't his primary political adversaries
in prison on trumped-up criminal charges right now... or dead?
