That's great. However, I am not claiming any sort of immunity from fallacious reasoning for social conservatives. You will have to explain the relevance of this point to your argument, as I see no connection. If slippery slope arguments were wrong when conservatives used them, why would they suddenly be right now?

Yeah, you keep saying that the government is "[charging] domestic crimes as acts of terrorism", but I don't know where you're getting that from. They are using a law that is primarily intended to fight terrorists, but it doesn't automatically follow that all prosecutions under the Act are accusations of terrorism!

you're a sheep. plain and simple. why don't you just admit it now so we can all understand where you're coming from instead of trying to pass as someone who thinks logically and can't tell right from wrong without help from your gov?
