Liberal Logic

One liberal family in our neighborhood likes to post signs with their beliefs. The latest sign said "In this house we believe black lives matter, women's reproductive rights are human rights, no human is illegal, science is real, be kind to everyone." What this family does not understand is that all the statements in their declaration are not equal. One refers to blacks only, another refers to women only, another refers to Hispanics, and the last one refers to everyone. If we need to be kind to all then shouldn't ALL lives matter? I am not sure what they mean by science is real. What strikes me as odd is that most people who make such a claim never did well in science, but they think they are experts on all matters science. I had a liberal tell me I do not believe science and technology because I do not own a smart phone. In other words, you are scientist, in their view, if you can text and take selfies. When I explained to the person that the science and technology was what is in the phone, they disagreed. So you are scientist if you can read a scientific article even if you do not understand all the research that went into writing the paper.

As far as reproductive rights there is no such thing in the constitution and even in Roe v. Wade and Casey v. Planned Parenthood the Court did not invent such a right. If you read my book human rights are fundamental rights and no fundamental right is controversial. In other words, everyone can agree with 100% certainty with all fundamental rights. Besides, the argument there is a war on women, in particular health rights is not correct. Women live 5 years longer than men and 2 times as much money is spent on research for women health then for men. In other words, there is skew towards more rights for women, in particular healthcare then there is for men.

I agree no person is illegal, and it would sure be nice to be able to take on the World's needy. But it is not practical. I suppose there are also no such thing as felons or criminals.
