Tax breaks for the wealthy add to deficits, don’t create jobs, won’t help in this economy, only serve ideological goals, and they weaken the middle class.

It genuinely bothers me when people try and take the individual out of a situation. Of course, circumstances matter. Ideas matter. Context matters. We don’t live in a vacuum. But when people try and use blanket assertions, culling statistics or even stereotypes, and apply them to individuals, it gets under my skin. People have individual personalities, individual tendencies, individual backgrounds, individual perspectives. In short, we are all individuals. I know. Crazy.

The most common and annoying error I see when people talk about objective morality versus subjective morality is the bald assumption of “objective” in front of the word. Presumably the very topic at hand is to resolve or at least illuminate the differences between these two,distinct ideas of morality. By assuming “objective” in front of “morality”, a classic logical fallacy has been committed.

I try to listen to conservative views pretty often. I think it’s only fair to hear some of the points the other side has to make, even if most of them are only grounded in ideology. But I’ve had to institute a new personal listening policy: Whenever I hear a conservative start ranting about death panels, that’s where I turn off the TV or radio or click out of the article. I could have sworn that blatant lie had been thrown away long, long ago.
