Those Three Little Words

There are three little words that everyone wants to hear.  Oh, no.  Not those three words.  I see your confusion.  Since it’s so close to Valentine’s day, I bet you thought I was talking about the words “I love you”.  Sorry.  That’s not what this is about.  This is about

Twisted Liberal Logic

I can hear you already.  You’re going to tell me that there is no such thing as Liberal Logic.  I used to agree with you.  But Liberals have invented a new type of “logic” that they use to defend their causes.  What I’m talking about isn’t what you’d call “circular
