Top Ten Ways Liberals Try to Act Conservative Part 3
5) War is murder
Truth
Murder is murder. There is death in war but it is not murder. War is awful but it is necessary at times to stop many more people from dying. However the death of soldiers and even civilians in conflicts is not the same as murder. The point of war is much larger than one individual. Wars can be started for awful purposes and wars can be used to murder people but war does not automatically equal murder. So you can’t equate war with murder and especially not to justify abortion or any other murder.
Lie
6) Rich people don’t pay taxes and “those” tax cuts are only for the rich.
Truth
The truth is, the rich pay a higher percentage of taxes then the rest of the population. While some rich people use lawyers and loopholes to get around paying some taxes the majority of wealthy people pay so much taxes that if it wasn’t for the taxes that the so called rich pay the taxes on the rest of society would have to be tripled. And usually when there are tax cuts they usually give a break to everybody and the rich benefit the most because they pay the most.

Really, now you’re just making stuff up. You’re going to tell me the lives of soldiers and civilians count less than the lives of protoplasmic matter, because the protoplasmic matter could one day grow up to be devalued in your eyes. You’re saying that “collateral damage” is truly necessary, and the 100,000 innocent Iraqi citizens counted for naught. That life is only precious if it can be corrupted by a supernatural belief system. So war is necessary, and people killing other people is just death, not murder. Forgive me for asking, but isn’t taking someone else’s life murder? Or do soldiers waive their right to life when they enlist?
In your second point, you went from making things up to just plain lying. If you haven’t realized by now that the richest 10% of the country pay much less in taxes than the rest of us, you never will, and you need to stop writing about things you can never, and will never understand.
So even civilians that are killed during a war does not count as murder, yet abortion IS murder….
I’d really love to see you tell the soldiers in Iraq that it’s not murder, or how about the wife or parents of a soldier that was killed.
I’m assuming you believe the war in Iraq to not be murder, which in that case, you’re as dangerous as the Muslim extremists - instead of your view that killing Muslims is not murder, they believe that killing Christians is not murder. Both faiths believe that death from something “much larger than one individual” is not murder. Either way, if that “point” is so incredibly large that it necessitates deaths, you should be spending every second of your life fighting for that “point”.
And I agree with the last comment about your second point - you need to do far more research into how things factually are because what you’re saying is completely baseless. Yes, the wealthier technically are in higher tax brackets, though “the rich” also have annual percentage increases in rate of pay that far exceed any of the lower classes, and they receive benefits that far offset their standing in the higher bracket.

I love how the only purpose of these posts this week have been to assert your “moral superiority” and pass judgment onto others, though with no evidence of reflection upon your own psyche. That is called pompousness and elitism, and if you believe that that’s part of the Christian agenda, you’re lying to yourself and betraying your faith.
