1. guilty as charged. Only an authoritarian would see these two things as being equal, probably because they don't give a crap about women.
Tie breaker: If you are against funding for contraception, you have little moral authority to speak about abortion. For a parent who does not love their child it is a 20 year sentence for no actual crime. For the child, it is a holocaust.
2. "You have to believe that businesses create oppression
and governments create prosperity."
Inversion: I believe that corporations create oppression in search of captive markets and governments regulate markets and standards for business, thus creating a stable environment where profits accrue.
3. Guns v Yellow people with the bomb. Well, how many spouses were killed by a nuke last week? It is a matter of scale, that and mutually assured destruction.
4. You have to believe that there was no art before Federal funding.
Counter Frame- Art before federal funding was far more obscene by the standards of the time than today's art, ~75% percent of which is done to get more funding as opposed to offending the easily offended.
5. You have to believe that global temperatures are more affected
by people driving SUV's, than by documented
cyclical changes in the earth's climate.
Counter Frame--
Republicans have to believe that the ~400% increase in CO2 (only one greenhouse gas of several) in the span of a few generations is inconsequential and a purely natural phenomenon.
6. You have to believe that gender roles are artificial
but being homosexual is natural.
Stipulate and counter- Gender consists of two aspects, performance and preference.
Performance has to do with who cleans the sex toys and who robs the convenience store, in Repubelican terms. Preference is about who you want to rub your thang on. In essence, what's your point?
7. You have to believe that the AIDS virus is spread by a lack of federal funding.
Counter frame- Republicans feel that Erectile Dysfunction should have far more research and funding than AIDs- despite the fact that people with ED are less likely to spread either ED or the disease.
8. You have to believe that the same teacher
who can't teach fourth graders how to read
is qualified to teach those same kids about sex.
Absolutely False.
Counter Frame- Repugs believe that your child's education in matters from health to algebra can be handled by people paid fast food wages and with plenty of religious interference. And that somehow people will actually go into debt to prepare for such a job.
9. You have to believe that hunters don't care about nature,
but loony activists who have never been out of the city, do.
Plenty of Blue hunters out there. Why I myself have many whitetail to my credit, with a black powder rifle, even.
10. You have to believe that self-esteem is more important
than actually doing something to earn it.
Counter Frame. Self Esteem is natural result of parental love and support. Without it, a even a bright and talented child will not thrive. And you will pay for in the long run.
11. You have to believe that Mel Gibson spent $25 million
of his own money to make 'The Passion of the Christ' for financial gain.
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?? Who cares *why* Gibson made that bit of religious snuff porn?
12. You have to believe the NRA is bad
because it supports certain parts of the Constitution,
but the ACLU is good
because it supports certain parts of the Constitution.
No, if the NRA would stop snorting coke and smokeless I would be fine with them.
The second amendment is a part of the constitution and I support its being there.
But I don't want somebody with a TOW on the top of their hummer in my hood.
13. You have to believe that ATM fees are too high,
but taxes are too low.
Yes, and I can believe that grass is green, and sugar is sweet too.
I want crippling, yea nearly genocidal taxes on the top two percent. And I want to not get ass raped at the ATM. You got a problem with that?
14. You have to believe that Margaret Sanger and Gloria Steinem
are more important to American history than
Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Edison, and A.G. Bell.
Counter Frame- Republicans believe that no American woman has done anything as important as Alexander Bell.
15. You have to believe that standardized tests are racist,
but racial quotas are not.
Stipulate and counter- Both can be, depending on design and intent.
17. You have to believe that the only reason
socialism hasn't worked anywhere it has ever been tried
is because the right people haven't been in charge.
The EU and China, both predominately socialist, are about to bury us economically.
18. You have to believe conservatives telling the truth
belong in jail, but a liar and sex offender belongs in the White House.
You have to believe that adultery is a sexual offense. And you have to be drowned-turkey gullible regarding liars.
19. You have to believe that homosexual parades
are constitutionally protected,
but manger scenes at Christmas are illegal.
Counter - Religious processions deserve equal protection to the gay rights parade. Unless they are there specifically as an act of hatred, in which case just shoot them.
And if you let me put up my shrine to the Mother Goddess giving birth to the new Sun God next to your manger, GREAT!
20. You have to believe that illegal funding of the Democratic Party
by the Chinese Government is acceptable.
No. Kill them all. Ok, that taken care of, lets start with everyone taking corporate illegal funds. Death penalty for any election law funding violation.
Or how about publicly funded elections period?
That covers most of them.
