the liberal logic in this thread:

obama - you should not murder

obama - i'm working on legislation that says you cannot murder

liberals - it is ok for obama to murder because no legislation exists that says he can't

Well actually there is legislation, laws that say he can't murder, so you have to go back to the drawing board on this one, yurt. The President can't murder at will.

Great analogy!

Wow, man -you keep one-upping yourself in that dept., or one-downing yourself, as it were...

rana....it was illustrative. imagine if there were no law. that is the point of using illustrative thinking, it doesn't have to be real world in order for the logic to apply.
 
If you're going to go that route Yurt, at least spice it up a bit. Like murdering first born male Jewish children or something.

have at it. the point, as you well know, is to illustrate saying someone should do something or not do something before there is an actual law in place requiring to do or not do something. at least i hope you're smart enough to get it.
 
Yurt's logic in this thread:

Obama - Murdering the first born male child in every Jewish household should be legal.

Obama - I am introducing a law to make the murder of the first born male child in every Jewish household legal.

Yurt - Obama should murder the first born male child in every Jewish household or else he's a hypocrite.

lol, you suck at analogies. it is not illegal to not take deductions, thus paying more taxes.

you fail.

what? you analogy doesn't fit my analogy. it doesn't work. real world or not. obama is not saying it should be legal to pay more taxes. good lord, i can't believe i have to explain such simple concepts to you. he only said, he and others like him should pay more taxes. you libbies are the one saying he only means it, if the federal government requires it. thus, my analogy is golden, yours is mud.
 
When did he say anything about volentarily doing it?

so then, one can do as they choose, right? he is not telling anyone to wait for the federal government to require them to do something he believes is right.

like i said, your logic is...obama wants to pass a law that you should not murder, until that law is passed, your logic is, that it is ok for obama to murder

i'll state it another way....obama, it is the right thing to do by paying more to charities, i'm working with congress on getting legislation requiring all americans to pay more to charity.....your logic - obama doesn't have to pay more to charities until the law requires him.

silliness.

OK. Here's a better analogy:

Obama - The first born male child in every Jewish household should be murdered by a rich person.

Obama - I am introducing a law requiring every rich person to murder a the first born male child in a Jewish household.

Yurt - Obama's a hypocrite unless he murders the first born male child in a Jewish household.

Silly, President Obama was talking about Taxes, Taxes are compulsary.

once again jarod...i hope i don't have to keep repeating myself:

taking deductions, write offs etc....are not compulsory. therefore, obama can easily pay more taxes by not taking the voluntary deductions and reducing his effective tax rate.

please confirm you understand.

that works
