Synikul · **Rush Limbaugh's Undeniable Truths Of Life -** 12-25-04

Quote:

There is a distinct singular American culture - rugged individualism and self-reliance - which made America great.

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.

No nation has ever taxed itself into prosperity.

Evidence refutes liberalism.

There is no such thing as a New Democrat.

The Earth's eco-system is not fragile.

Character matters; leadership decends from character.

The most beautiful thing about a tree is what you do with it after you cut it down.

Ronald Reagan was the greatest president of the twentieth century.

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.

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

Condoms only work during the school year.

Poverty is not the root ("rut") cause of crime.

There's a simple way to solve the crime problem: obey the law; punish those who do not.

If you commit a crime, you are guilty.

Women should not be allowed on juries where the accused is a stud.

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.

I am not arrogant.

My first 35 Undeniable Truths are still undeniably true.

There is a God.

There is something wrong when critics say the problem with America is too much religion.

Morality is not defined by individual choice.

The only way liberals win national elections is by pretending they're not liberals.

Feminism was established as to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream of society.

Follow the money. When somebody says, " It's not the money," it's always the money.

Liberals attempt through judicial activism what they cannot win at the ballot box.

Using federal dollars as a measure, our cities have not been neglected, but poisoned with welfare dependency funds.

Progress is not striving for economic justice or fairness, but economic growth.

Liberals measure compassion by how many people are given welfare. Conservatives measure compassion by how many people no longer need it.

Compassion is no substitute for justice.

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.

The Los Angeles riots were not caused by the Rodney King verdict. The Los Angeles riots were caused by rioters.

You could afford your house without your government - if it weren't for your government.

Words mean things.

Too many Americans can't laugh at themselves anymore.

"There is a God." That's the only one that might be deniable, in my opinion. I call myself faithless. I don't know.

The rest of them are TRUE!

No, most of them are bullshit, but that's ok. I was going to work on each incredibly false one, but that'd take up too much time. Instead, here are the only ones that are definitely true:

If you commit a crime, you are guilty.

Morality is not defined by individual choice.

Compassion is no substitute for justice.

Words mean things.

Too many Americans can't laugh at themselves anymore.

The rest of them are mostly garbage. Especially the ecosystem one. Look at the case of the zebra mussels for an example of how fragile they really are.

Besides, Rush is a druggie.

"The Los Angeles riots were not caused by the Rodney King verdict. The Los Angeles riots were caused by rioters."

Wow. So he took the "guns don't kill people..." phrase and modified that. You know, I could do that with anything, and its still stupid.

Plainly put...This man is a piece of trash. .. take some more OxyContin, Rush.

errantrogue · 12-25-04

i love how he denies arrogance...

Synikul · 12-25-04

As Rush says, it takes courage to accept the truth.

I've never heard of a zebra mussel before today. So I don't care what happens to them. It's evolution, they adapt, or they die off.

errantrogue · 12-25-04

then rush must be a very fearful person...

SourMilkSea · 12-26-04

Hey, he's not arrogent you guys... He said so himself

And what does "Morality is not defined by individual choice." even mean?

errantrogue · 12-26-04

his meaning, i would guess, would mean that morality is determined by the (religion of the) many (which is really only steered by a few and accepted as Truth by many).

the true meaning i thing would be that morality is determined by the ebb and flow of a society's norms.

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.

abstinence prevents STDs and Pregnancy?

two points...

first, Rape.

second, you can get stds such as Aids and Hepititus through transfusion and pregnancy doesn't require sex...

Rioters cannot cause riots, since before the riot, they aren't rioting. Its a bit like saying lack of life causes death.

Condoms only work during the school year?

No-one is saying this isn't true? Is there some meaning I'm missing here?

Words mean nothing without context. I am. Double stuff.

The point of the rioting is that they had no excuse to riot, burn, and loot, even if they didn't like the Rodney King verdict.

The condom comment is about conservative opposition to schools handing out condoms.

This Rush character sounds a bit loopy to be honest. I'd heard the name before, but didn't know much about him and now ... I can't be bothered.

He effectively controls about 20 million voters in the USA.

errantrogue · 12-27-04

says who? Reuters? I don't think so...

John Preston · 12-27-04

Rush is a moron.
That is plain to see.
He is the exact representation of "The Republican Mentality" that I do not care for.

The fact that people follow his words and say he's a genius or something else along those lines reminds me of how people often followed Hitler(GOOD GOD NOT HITLER AGAIN) even though his words were often idiocy or illogical ramblings..much like Rush's.

thefinalw0rd · 12-27-04

We're not destroying the Zebra Mussel. Actually, it'd be great if we could find a good way to do so. No, they're singlehandedly destroying waterways in the US and Canada. It's depressing how they starve everything else out, meaning less and less fish (bad for fish industry) and other things that are effected by that. You take out a link from the food chain, everything above suffers.

Rush seems to live in his own world most of the time. I've no doubt that he actually BELIEVES all of these things. That doesn't change the fact that most of them are false.

Did you know that Rush once said that there were more Native Americans alive now than when Columbus landed?

He's a moral absolutist. He believes that there is a single fixed set of values that are the true morality that humanity has to live up to.
