So, let's say someone in your office approaches you and says they're running a 5K for charity and are looking for financial donations. You ask what the charity is. "It's a charity that funds abortions for mothers who don't want the child." Even if you don't think abortions should be illegal, paying for them yourself seems a little bit weird. And yet, Barack Obama recently said that he wants abortions to be federally funded with tax-payer dollars. On the other side, if you think the current war in Iraq is abhorrent, is it moral for our current President to make you fund it?

So, there is this television pundit who lives in Texas. And he espouses increased security of our Mexican border. When they covered this on the news the other night, the reporter said, "and the hypocrisy behind this whole thing is that this man is married to a Mexican woman." Why is this a hypocrisy? The story went on further to say, "And that's not the only contradiction in his life. He is pro-choice but AGAINST gun control." Why is this a contradiction? Why do I either have to be a racist or be for completely open immigration laws? Why do I have to be pro teachers unions or against our children? Why do I have to be against the war or be willing to enlist? Why do I have to be against helping the Earth or give up flying in planes?
