I think we're about at this stage::
Conservative: "Bob is a sane adult. He murdered three people in cold blood."
Liberal: "OK, Bob the sane adult murdered three people."
Conservative: "Bob is fully responsible for the murders."
Liberal: "OK, he did it, he's fully responsible."
Conservative: "Bob is black."
Liberal: "WHOA! HOLD ON! You didn't say anything about him being black before! That's very different! I take it all back! OF COURSE he's not responsible! BOB'S THE REAL VICTIM HERE! BLAME ANYONE BUT BOB! JUSTICE FOR BOB!"
Conservative: (Makes short-circuiting noises and emits blue smoke.)
Heh heh, of course lies don’t ever complete the circuit of logic. However this doesn’t quite have to end this way. Conservative, if he is conserving the presence of God in himself, will be sad but won’t fall apart like that. And if he has enough grace he may ask something like, why should we be letting black people destroy themselves, is that love?
