"Undeniable Truths"

[bodypilot90 0]

The "Undeniable Truths" were part of an article written for the Sacramento Union back in 1988. Here they are:

1. There is a distinct singular American culture - rugged individualism and self-reliance - which made America great.
2. The vast majority of the rich in this country did not inherit their wealth; they earned it. They are the country's achievers, producers, and job creators.
3. No nation has ever taxed itself into prosperity.
4. Evidence refutes liberalism.
5. There is no such thing as a New Democrat.
6. The Earth's eco-system is not fragile.
7. Character matters; leadership decends from character.
8. The most beautiful thing about a tree is what you do with it after you cut it down.
9. Ronald Reagan was the greatest President of the twentieth century.
10. The 1980s was not a decade of greed but a decade of prosperity; it was the longest period of peacetime growth in American history.
11. Abstinence prevents sexually transmitted disease and pregnancy -every time it's tried.
12. Condoms only work during the school year.
13. Poverty is not the root cause of crime.
14. There's a simple way to solve the crime problem: obey the law; punish those who do not.
15. If you commit a crime, you are guilty.
16. Women should not be allowed on juries where the accused is a stud.
17. The way to improve our schools is not more money, but the reintroduction of moral and spiritual values, as well as the four "R's": reading, 'riting, 'rithmatic, and Rush.
18. I am not arrogant.
19. My first 35 Undeniable Truths are still undeniably true.
20. There is a God.
21. There is something wrong when critics say the problem with America is too much religion.
22. Morality is not defined by individual choice.
23. The only way liberals win national elections is by pretending they're not liberals.
24. Feminism was established as to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream of society.
25. Follow the money. When somebody says, "It's not the money," it's always the money.
26. Liberals attempt through judicial activism what they cannot win at the ballot box.
27. Using federal dollars as a measure, our cities have not been neglected, but poisoned with welfare dependency funds.
28. Progress is not striving for economic justice or fairness, but economic growth.
29. Liberals measure compassion by how many people are given welfare.
Conservatives measure compassion by how many people no longer need it.
30. Compassion is no substitute for justice.
31. The culture war is between the winners and those who think they're losers who want to become winners. The losers think the only way they can become winners is by banding together all the losers and then empowering a leader of the losers to make things right for them.
32. The Los Angeles riots were not caused by the Rodney King verdict. The Los Angeles riots were caused by rioters.
33. You could afford your house without your government - if it weren't for your government.
34. Words mean things.
35. Too many Americans can't laugh at themselves anymore.

A great many of these things are deniable. These are mostly opinions, not "undeniable truths". Just my 2p

Heh....
Ummm,

Just stirrin' some debate...

[turtlespeed 220]

Some things are SO rediculous that they don't need to be debated.
It just so happens that the Democrats policies and platform are one of them.

So people who put forth viewpoints that differ from yours are asshats?

[karma 3]

How is this relevant now. I mean, these "truths" where written in 1988, that 15 years ago.
I think the world and these "truths" would have changed over the years.

Reading these truths I get the feeling that these where used for propaganda purposes.

Grtz. karma

[turtlespeed 220]

Well, for one thing - It's similar to what I heard on the radio yestreday in a clip from Senator Kennedy only four years ago: (Paraphrasing) I"I believe that every issue discussed here deserves an up and down vote. Let's just get it in the open and let us vote on it, there's been too much discussion already."

OK, then as the power switched in the senate - Hypocrisy evolves -
Yesterday and about the 30 hour debate where federal judges could be chosen -
(Paraphrasing again) "It is the responsibility of every democrat to philibuster these issues . . ."

So there are two completely different views from the same man - and this is only four years apart from both statements. If the power changed in the senate again, do you think his opinion might change?

Things some people will never learn.

1) No nation has ever taxed itself into prosperity.


2) Evidence refutes liberalism.

list shortened to help!

And another: Liberalism always produces the exact opposite of it's stated intention.

1) Jews do not recognize Jesus as the Messiah

2) Protestants do not recognize the Pope as the leader of the Christian religion

3) Baptist do not recognize each other in Hooter's or the liqour store

I think it is safe to assume his liver will give out by then.

Man, I sometimes wish I was a regular Rush Limbaugh listener and devotee / dittohead so that I could go into "The Essential Stack of Shit" and pull out gems like these.

Then again, I'm gladder that I haven't been brainwashed into repeating things ripped off and regurgitated by a big, fat, idiot masquerading as the voice of conservatism with "talent on loan from God". Talk about pretentious and blasphemous.

Fortunately, for reseach purposes, all I have to do is use Google and enough web sites pop-up from Rush-geeks to confirm all suspicions of where this comes from in recent history.

I know this won't make me a very popular person with the Mods . . .

Liberals amuse me to no end. Every day I hear the commies, I mean liberals, calling us mean spirited and bigoted, but it's quite acceptable for them to call someone a big, fat, idiot. . . .

Every liberal I've talked to has been woefully prepared to back up their arguments, but that's OK for them because they care so deeply. Hogwash. Start listening to Rush on a regular basis and then come back and argue your point, I'll have more respect for your opinion then, and before you ask, yes, I do listen to liberals on talk radio when I can find them.

The 5 Basic Rules of Conservative Blather:

1) What the public doesn't know, I'm not going to tell them

2) Don't bother me with the facts, my mind is made up!

3) If you can't attack the data, attack the people!

4) Do your research by proclamation, investigation is too much trouble.

5) Whatever Rush, Savage, Fox News, or a defunct conservative rag (Union) says I will accept as gospel and regurgitate as "Undeniable Truths."


Sad...but true

[vonSanta 0]

Hahahah, this list is quite amusing :).

Bet these undeniable truths are pretty deniable now.

I liked the last one the best:

You should thank God for making you an American; and instead of feeling guilty about it, help spread our ideas worldwide.

Oh yes, Kipling's The White Man's Burden all over. Askthe Brits how well their attempts to educate the barbarian masses went. And the Goid sentiment expressed here, well, bad Religion said it best in "American Jesus":

I feel sorry
For the earth’s population
’cuz so few
Live in the u.s.a.
At least the foreigners
Can copy our morality
They can visit but they cannot stay
We’ve got the american jesus
See him on the interstate
We’ve got the american jesus
He helped build the
President’s estate
