Rush Limbaugh's 35 Undeniable Truths and Why I Don't Agree With (A Lot of) Them

It's not that I'm a "liberal" or a "democrat", it's just that I don't like political party extremists, like Ruch Limbaugh and Michael Moore.
Listening to him makes me angry. He looks at diversity as a disease. I don't like it.

My 35 Undeniable Truths--By Rush Limbaugh

All of these truths are of the same importance.
1. There is a distinct singular American culture - rugged individualism and self-reliance - which made America great. [I don't disagree with this one.]
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. [This has such a gospel of wealth attitude. yes, most of them did earn it, but just because you're poor does not mean that you aren't an achiever. Success isn't measured in riches.]
3. No nation has ever taxed itself into prosperity. [Hm, I don't know about this one. I like taxes. Taxes are necessary, good things.]
4. Evidence refutes liberalism. [No, evidence refutes political parties in general.]
5. There is no such thing as a New Democrat. [Why do you care?]
6. The Earth's eco-system is not fragile. [You're right, but it is because we're taking more than we need. It wouldn't be fragile, if we practiced conservation techniques.]
7. Character matters; leadership decends from character. [Okay, understandable.]
8. The most beautiful thing about a tree is what you do with it after you cut it down. [I HATE THIS ONE. This makes me unbelievably sad. Trees are one of the most beautiful of God's creations, and I don't think God would respect people heedlessly cutting them down for frivolous purposes. Yes, use what you need, but don't cut down trees for no freaking reason! It's selfish and disgusting. It's genocide.]
9. Ronald Reagan was the greatest president of the twentieth century. [I can't agree or refute this, because I don't know much about Reagan.]
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. [The 80's were alright.]
11. Abstinence prevents sexually transmitted disease and pregnancy -every time it's tried. [Agreed.]
12. Condoms only work during the school year. [I'm not sure I follow.]
13. Poverty is not the root ("rut") cause of crime. [Once again, agreed.]
14. There's a simple way to solve the crime problem: obey the law; punish those who do not. [Agree with this one too, but I am not in favor of the death sentence.]
15. If you commit a crime, you are guilty. [There are exceptions. What about a psychopath? They deserve to be somewhere where they cannot hurt others, but they are not guilty as I see it; it is not their fault that they are psychopaths.]
16. Women should not be allowed on juries where the accused is a stud. [Once again, this angers me. What a dumb stereotype. Women have minds and brains, not just hormones.]
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. [Actually, our school needs more money. Yay, taxes!]
18. I am not arrogant. [Yes, you are. You only respect those that are exactly like yourself.]
19. My first 35 Undeniable Truths are still undeniably true. [No, they are not.]
20. There is a God. [I agree.]
21. There is something wrong when critics say the problem with America is too much religion. [I don't agree; there is too much religion, not enough spirituality.]
22. Morality is not defined by individual choice. [What? Yes, it is. My morals are my business, not yours, with the exception of murder, and rape. They are illegal because they severely harm others, and need to be illegal. I can see how he's defending his point, but I don't agree with him.]
23. The only way liberals win national elections is by pretending they're not liberals. [No. They win by popular vote, and everyone knows that they are "liberal", and they still get voted in.]
24. Feminism was established as to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream of society. [No, it was created because women couldn't vote, own property, or do anything other than vacuum and apply mascara.]
25. Follow the money. When somebody says, "It's not the money," it's always the money. [...I don't follow.]
26. Liberals attempt through judicial activism what they cannot win at the ballot box. [All political parties do.]
27. Using federal dollars as a measure, our cities have not been neglected, but poisoned with welfare dependency funds. [People need welfare! I understand that people abuse the system, but so many actually need it. I understand why he'd be angry at people abusing the system, and it makes me mad too, but there are those that need that money.]
28. Progress is not striving for economic justice or fairness, but economic growth. [It doesn't matter if people are equal, as long as people are getting richer? I'm not sure if I know exactly what he's saying.]
29. Liberals measure compassion by how many people are given welfare. Conservatives measure compassion by how many people no longer need it. [...I feel a little stupid for not understanding, but I don't.]
30. Compassion is no substitute for justice. [I hate this statement too. Justice is necessary, but compassion goes hand in hand with justice; justice is compassion. [Thus, no death penalties...]]
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. [Well, the "losers" of society deserve equality with the "winners". They are human, not worse than the "winners". Also, what defines a "loser"? No money, no power, no greed, no lack of morals? He needs to define "losers".]
32. The Los Angeles riots were not caused by the Rodney King verdict. The Los Angeles riots were caused by rioters. [I don't know the story, sorry.]
33. You could afford your house without your government - if it weren't for your government. [Hm..]
34. Words mean things. [Yes, but intuition, love, emotion, and spirituality mean more.]
35.Too many Americans can't laugh at themselves. [Everybody needs to laugh at themselves.]
