I love this article. Perfect example of how facts debunk liberal views all the time.

Key quote:
You might be a liberal if you think
- We spend more on defense than we do on health care and other human services.
- Our health care system is worse than other developed countries because the free market has failed and our government doesn't spend enough on health.
- The rich pay less in taxes than the poor.
- The U.S. is one of the worst offenders in producing global warming gases, and keeps on polluting while other countries are cutting back.
- The biggest problem with Islamic terrorism is the resulting backlash against Muslims.
- AIDS affects everyone equally, gay and straight.
- We have high rates of rapes and sexual assault because of the availability of guns.
- There was no good reason to invade Iraq in 2003, certainly not the threat of WMD.
- More lives would be saved by making helmets mandatory for motorcycle riders than would be saved by making them mandatory for pedestrians or car drivers and passengers.
- President Bush is stupid.
Unfortunately, you'd be wrong on every point listed above, based on facts.
I wish I had written this one.
