The ones that I think are undeniably true:

Quote:
Abstinence prevents sexually transmitted disease and pregnancy - every time it's tried.

If you commit a crime, you are guilty.

Words mean things.


Ones that I agree with but clearly aren't 'undeniably true.'

Quote:
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.

Character matters; leadership decends from character.

The 1980's was not a decade of greed but a decade of prosperity; it was the longest period of peacetime growth in American history.

Morality is not defined by individual choice.

Liberals measure compassion by how many people are given welfare. [Conservatives measure compassion by how many people no longer need it.] (I agree with the first part but certainly not the second. Conservatives look out for numero uno, and as Limbaugh himself said, don't rate compassion when it comes to justice. Compassion in my view is all encompassing)

Too many Americans can't laugh at themselves anymore.
That's a total of nine.


Claiming that some of those things are 'undeniably true' shows not just monumental arrogance but really sloppy thinking. Either that or he's only doing it to wind people up and doesn't himself believe in half of them, which, considering he's a druggie, isn't entirely inconceivable. If that's the case then I guess the joke's as much on Synikul as it is on Liberals.


'If we take in our hand any volume; of divinity or school metaphysics, for instance; let us ask, Does it contain any abstract reasoning concerning quantity or number? No. Does it contain any experimental reasoning, concerning matterof fact and existence? No. Commit it then to the flames: for it contains nothing but sophistry and illusion.'

'The heart of man is made to reconcile the most glaring contradictions.'
