20 Obvious Lies That Will Shock Conservatives

2) The greatest evil this country has ever committed isn’t slavery; it’s killing more than 50 million innocent children via abortion. Tell that to a slave. But, in reality, abortion is a very complicated issue. Far more complicated than the bumper sticker mentality of your typical conservative can process. I’ll help conservative make their case, though. All a conservative has to do to convince me that they truly consider abortion to be the murder of a human being is explain to me why they do not have a funeral for miscarriages and demand a death certificate be issued.

Good luck with that.

3) Conservatives are much more compassionate than liberals and all you have to do to prove it is look at all the studies showing that conservatives give more of their money to charity than liberals do. Only a conservative can equate money to compassion. You’re pro-death penalty, pro-war, anti-gay, anti-universal healthcare, anti-Medicare, anti-Medicaid, anti-Social Security but you give some money to a church that might use it to feed the homeless but could just as easily use it (and millions more) to deny gay couples the right to marry. Therefor, YOU are more compassionate than a liberal who wants an end to war and poverty.

hah…ahahah…ahahahahahha…bwahahahahahahaAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!

5. Abortion is worse than slavery? I disagree. And having had a miscarriage, was very sad but nothing

like if my later child were taken and sold from me as a slave, and I raped, beat, controlled by my master. I do hope that is not the part you "don't disagree" with.

I agree that some people having miscarriages have funerals, but overall it doesn't happen and death cert not issued.

That anti-abortion folks are lying when they say that abortion is worse than slavery.

when I hear the usual bs from some reichwingnut fundy around here. but, it would pretty much be a waste of time (assuming they could even read)

7. They don't have to demand death certificates be issued for miscarriages, because that's already done

Now they're demanding birth certificates, and in about half states you can order one.
