....You might choose others, but here's my list:

1. A 30% national sales tax is a workable substitute for all income and payroll taxes in the United States.

2. Global warming is not primarily caused by human activity. In fact, global warming might not even exist.

3. Intelligent design is a viable scientific theory that ought to be taught in biology classes.

4. Even with marginal tax rates at current levels, reducing taxes will increase revenues.

5. Saddam Hussein was behind 9/11.

I would like to compile a similar list for liberals/Democrats.

I didn't like this list, its not particularly fair. I don't think "fairtaxer" is a suitable substitute for Conservatives (although the meme does seem to have infected quite a lot of people). Furthermore, not all Conservatives are religious, and number 5 is just cheap shot. And the offer at the end to compile a list for liberals rings very hollow coming from a liberal commentator. I mean, couldn't you have at least given it a shot before clicking "post" on this blog entry? How much mental effort would it have taken?

For Conservatives I'd suggest the following:

1. Judicial oversight prevents the police from investigating terrorism.

2. Waterboarding is no big deal. Its like a fraternity prank.

3. The impact of human activity on the environment is not important.

4. Unregulated markets will always select the most desirable social outcome.

5. No regulation of late-trimester abortions is possible due to Supreme Court decisions.

For Liberals I'd suggest the following:

1. There is no impending problem with social security and medicare.

2. The Constitution does not protect an individual right to own weapons.

3. If one opposes the decision to invade Iraq it naturally follows that one should support withdrawl from Iraq.

4. The best thing to do for the needy is usually to give them money or free services.

5. Taxation is not theft.

Anyone got any more? Wanna debate me on any of these?? :)
