Yeah, these things need to be said...and there are a lot more liberal axioms that are being passed off on the public and especially our kids. Somehow, answers need to be given and these fallacies need to be shown for what they are. But with the news media (print and electronic) what it is, no one sees or hears anyone questioning their BS.
This can be carried into the economic debate, health care debate,the bailouts etc. We need a debunking central like the media research center...but the problem there is they are only as good as the coverage they can generate.

I wasn’t being snide, but if you insist I will be next time.
