Libfas, please explain your ethics

1.  Why is it wrong to kill a violent criminal but okay to kill an innocent fetus?  I'm not particularly opposed to abortions, but it makes no sense that you rail against capital punishment while endorsing abortion.

2.  Why do you despise Christianity but tell everyone else that their religions are beautiful and are to be respected?  I don't understand how you can extol the greatness of science and education while while telling everyone (other than Christians) that their baseless beliefs should be protected.  I'm generally opposed to religion, so I say if you're going to hate one of them, hate all of them.

3.  Why is it wrong from conservatives to go on fear mongering about terrorism but it's okay for you to tell everyone the world is going to end because of global warming?  Whether or not you believe in either of these supposed threats it's clear that both sides are using fear to manipulate people.  Why not take the higher road if you're so educated and ethical?

4.  Why do you like Mac so much?

5.  Why do you believe the federal government can fix all of society's ills when it can barely deliver the mail?  It has been proven throughout history that large central governments lead to corruption and abuse.  Why do you continue to support big government?

1. I support both reproductive choice and capital punishment.  But they are apples and oranges...I don't support personhood and the rights thereof to a nonviable fetus.  So I don't favor abortion after viability...third trimester.  Before that, it's part of the mother frankly and up to her what to do with her body.  Also, I only support capital punishment if it can be shown without a doubt that someone is guilty of a capital crime.  If you are a southern red state and all your blacks go to the chair and none of your whites do, you gots some 'splainin to do.

2. I'm not religious and support the right of others to believe as they see fit, up to the point where they want to take some sort of god mandate and run my life/run the country/rule the world.  Christianity passes that point consistently so it pisses me off.  You just don't see Buddhists trying to stack the courts, suppress rights, dominate political discourse, fight against science, butt into everyone's private lives while racking up sex scandals, I could go on...  Basically, Christianity is the AIDS of spirituality.  Has produced more harm than good for 2000 years and counting.

3. Because the GOP uses fear to get its way, while environmentalists are trying to save the fucking planet.  Waterboarding never made us safe, but several major coastal cities probably will wind up underwater.  Warning against a real threat we can act upon is not mongering...scaring people about made up terror to score political points is.  Science is not a political party.

4. I don't like Mac.  I'm a PC.

5. I don't believe the federal govt can fix all of society's ills, that's a GOP fantasy about liberals that they've repeated so much they believe it.  I'm also fascinated to hear that conservatives are against corruption and abuse (*cough*TomDelay*cough*) and big government.  The government and spending expanded exponentially under Bush, took the national debt from like 4 to 9 trillion dollars or something.  Most of it to Halliburton.
Liberals just don't live in a fantasy where we can have all the programs people can't do without (libs and cons alike) while demanding to pay no taxes.  Yes, I'm looking at you, teabaggers.  The teabags they bought and the clothes they wore and the road they drove on to the rally and the law enforcement to keep the roads safe and the medicare and SS they will all be counting on in old age are because of big government.  No taxes?  Build your own fucking highways, it'll be fun.  Here's a trowel and a bucket.
