   Well, David, the most obvious fallacy would be the fallacy of false alternatives, but one could make the argument that it also includes (at least implicitly) argumentum ad vericundiam, argumentum ad ignorantium, argumentum ad baculum, argumentum ad populum, appeal to one’s own emotions, petitio principii, the fallacy of the stolen concept, and the argument from intimidation.

   Thanks for posting these, they’re hilarious (although a bit scary, since this is what A LOT of people actually believe).
