Surprising, isn't it, how very different the views of Liberals and conservatives are.
The following is a series of statements which our Liberal pals fervently believe to be true.....at least they subscribe to the majority of them.
So...here's a quick check to see if...or make sure.... you've fallen into the abyss of Liberalism:
True or False:
1. The "1%" is made up of millionaires and billionaires who stole their wealth from the 99%.
STRAWMAN ALERT FALSE
2. The Constitution mandates separation of church and state.
FALSE
2a. Studying case law, the decisions of courts, is the only way to apply the Constitution.
FALSE OUR CONSTITUTION HAD PRECURSORS, INCLUDING THE MAGNA CARTA AND THE DECLARATION OF THE RIGHTS OF MAN AND OF THE CITIZEN.
3. The laws of economics don't apply to healthcare: the government can provide healthcare for all, and of higher quality than presently available, and at a considerable savings!
NONSENSE STATEMENT
4. While Democrat Party was the source and wellspring of racism up until 1964, the parties switched attitudes that year, and the Republicans became the racists.
FALSE THE DIXIECRATS UNDER STROM THURMOND WERE SOUTHERN DEMOCRATS WHO OPPOSED CIVIL RIGHTS AND RAN A SEPERATE TICKET IN THE 1948 ELECTION (AS EVERYONE KNOWS) AND HE RESIGNED FROM THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY ON SEPT. 16, 1964 - A LITTLE OVER TWO MONTHS AFTER THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT WAS ENACTED ON JULY 2 OF 1964.

Note: "Southern", as used in this section, refers to members of Congress from the eleven states that made up the Confederate States of America in the American Civil War. "Northern" refers to members from the other 39 states, regardless of the geographic location of those states.
The original House version:
Southern Democrats: 7–87 (7–93%)
Southern Republicans: 0–10 (0–100%)
Northern Democrats: 145–9 (94–6%)
Northern Republicans: 138–24 (85–15%)
The Senate version:
Southern Democrats: 1–20 (5–95%) (only Ralph Yarborough of Texas voted in favor)
Southern Republicans: 0–1 (0–100%) (John Tower of Texas)
Northern Democrats: 45–1 (98–2%) (only Robert Byrd of West Virginia voted against)
Northern Republicans: 27–5 (84–16%)
5. Senator Joseph McCarty committed a crime of greater magnitude by revealing the Soviet spies in the Roosevelt government, than that of the spies themselves.
TRUE HE AND THE HOUSE OF UNAMERICAN ACTIVITIES WERE IN FACT UNAMERICAN.
6. Religion has been responsible for the deaths of more human beings than non-religion!
UNKOWN,
BUT RELIGION AND WAR HAVE GONE HAND IN HAND THROUGHOUT HISTORY.
7. Bush was responsible for the Mortgage Meltdown.
TRUE,
OR AT LEAST AS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MELTDOWN OF THE ROLLOUT OF THE PPACA AS IS OBAMA.
7a. Gore won.
UNKNOWN, THE U.S. SUPREME COURT ENDED THE DEBATE ON A PARTISAN VOTE.
8. Rights are only those entitlements allowed by governments....and can be withdrawn by same.
TRUE RIGHTS HAVE BEEN TAKEN AWAY FROM CITIZENS AND SUBJECTS FOR TIME IMMEMORIAL.
9. Gorbachev was as responsible for ending the Cold War as President Reagan was.
TRUE.
"Perestroika" (restructuring) and "glasnost" (openness) were Mikhail Gorbachev's watchwords for the renovation of the Soviet body politic and society that he pursued as general secretary of the Communist Party from 1985 until 1991.
10. It's a racist nation, and that's the reason for criticism of Obama.
TRUE AND FALSE WE ARE A NATION OF RACISTS, THAT IS EVIDENT BY THE POSTS ON THIS MESSAGE BOARD. NOT EVERYONE WHO CRITICIZES THE PRESIDENT IS A RACIST.
Bonus question: The United States was founded based on the Enlightenment, and, therefore, is not based on Judeo-Christian values.
THE WRITINGS OF PLATO AND ARISTOTLE, THE MAGNA CARTA AND THE DECLARATION OF THE RIGHTS OF MAN AND OF THE CITIZEN, THE WRITINGS OF 16TH AND 17TH CENTURY POLITICAL THEORISTS, AND JUDEO-CHRISTAIN VALUES. I DOUBT VERY MUCH JUDEO-CHRISTIAN VALUES INFLUENCED THE WRITING OF THE CONSTITUTION MORE THAN THE WORKS NOTED ABOVE AND MANY MORE WHICH OUR FOUNDERS STUDIED.
OK.....let's mark your paper.....and no erasing and no crossing out!
Correct answers: all of 'em are absolutely, positively, "false."
How'd ya' do?
Liberal or conservative?
....but, you knew that already, didn't you.
