20 Basic Truths You Can’t Talk About in America Anymore

John Hawkins | Jun 08, 2013

1) People who want to change sexes should be treated by a psychologist, not deformed through surgery, given hormone treatments, and falsely told that they can change sexes.

2) Most people who remain poor over the long haul in America stay that way because of their own poor life choices.

3) Most black Americans are good and decent people, but percentage wise there are more black Americans in jail because percentage wise, black Americans commit a lot more crimes than white Americans.

4) As often as not in America, the people claiming to be "victims" are the real bullies and they don't deserve anyone's sympathy.

5) The reason most politicians in D.C. are shameless liars with no character is because most Americans will knowingly choose a shameless liar with no character who says what they want to hear over an honest man with morals who tells them the hard truths they'd rather ignore.

6) Illegal aliens are foreigners who knowingly broke the law to come here and Americans owe them even less than we owe other foreigners living in China, Sweden, or El Salvador because at least those people didn't break our laws.

7) Life begins at conception and having an abortion is no morally different than strangling your baby in the crib.

8) Most liberals aren't patriotic and they don't love their country.

9) Our soldiers should make every effort to avoid civilian casualties, but when it comes right down to it, the life of an American soldier should be treated as more important than the life of a foreign civilian. [Don't agree with this one.]

10) We'd be better off as a society if the people who are ignorant, ill informed, or who really don't care one way or another, didn't vote. [They're called Democrats.]

11) The only practical way to make peace between the Israelis and Palestinians is for the Israelis to transfer the Palestinians and take their land.

12) This is a Christian nation that has been successful because it adopted Christian principles and the more we move away from that, the worse off we will be as a nation.

13) Men are just generally better at some things than women, just as women are just generally better at some things than men are.

14) "Racism" used to be a big deal in America, but these days the people who cry racism are usually phonies trying to gain a political advantage or deflect from ethical shortcomings or poor performance.

15) Long term, the only way our country can pay its bills is by asking everyone who's not dirt poor to pay as much in taxes to the government as they're given in services if they want to continue to receive those services.

16) Nine times out of ten, a mother and father will do a considerably better job of raising a child than a single mother, a single father, two gay parents or their grandparents.

17) The Boy Scouts could never survive gay scoutmasters because no parents with a brain in their head are sending their male, teenage boy out in the woods alone with a gay man who may very well be attracted to him, just as the parents of Girl Scouts wouldn't want to send their teenage daughter out alone in the woods with a straight adult who might secretly be savoring the opportunity to have her alone. [Only a fool believes otherwise.]

18) People who are homeless over the long term are overwhelmingly mentally ill or have substance abuse problems and the only thing we can really do to help them is round them up, put them into halfway houses and force them to get treatment in spite of themselves.

19) If you have good character, you should feel ashamed of taking food stamps, taking welfare, or being on a school lunch program. [Better stated, if being on welfare doesn't make you feel ashamed, you're trash.]

20) We would be much better off as a nation if most of the immigrants to this country were well educated people from nations in Europe that shared our Western values as opposed to our current policy which brings in mostly less educated people from Third World nations.

Unless the author of that list was put to death for talking about what he can't talk about, I guess he proved himself wrong.

I like this comment on that site...

"I wish someone would tell me which Christian principles our country was founded on and why those principles made us great.

Was it the principles that the industrialists used to build up their empires on the backs of the workers and other industrialists that couldn't keep up?

Was it the principles that our military used to move Indians off their lands?

Was it the principles that allowed 1/2 the country to own slaves?

Was it the principles that Tammany Hall used to control people, or union thugs used to beat people into submission, or crooked politicians used to steal from the people?
Help me out here folks."

The post-er is a bit off in their facts and judgments. While The notion of "building something on the backs of the workers" has a negative connotation, on whose backs were they going to be built? Were the workers slaves who couldn't lace up their shoes and walk away? When a business can't find anybody willing to work for them at current wages and conditions, they'll either improve them or go out of business. And should an industrialist or any businessman slow down his assembly line, terminate R&D, our raise his prices so his competitor can keep up? The idea is preposterous, and only a simpleton or socialist would entertain such a notion.

Moving someone off of "their" land is evil (just like in Kelo vs. New London, right?), but what occurred was the result of a difference between civilizations' concept of what makes land "yours." That's a simplification of a more complex issue, but don't you think it's wise that there's a courthouse at which ownership records are kept, so ownership can be determined? Really, perhaps our civilization with such concepts really is better.

At no time did any number even approaching half of the country own slaves. Percentage-wise, it was in the single digits. And it was the part of the country, philosophically, that would agree with the piece I posted that freed the slaves. The Demon-crats were the party of slavery.

You've got to think things through before you hit that submit button.

Rockerfeller. JP Morgan. Andrew Carnegie absolutely built an empire off workers backs...treated them like crap and paid them dirt. If they complained, close the factory and starve them out.
America was a nasty country right after the Civil War...

first stage of government controls....he who controls the land, controls the people....

and yet we tolerate your opinions of gay and abortions?...that are totally wrong and lack facts

NO worker can be treated like crap unless he/she/it allows it to happen. Nothing stopped that worker form striving to do what the above named people did. EVERYONE, for the most part, is in the position they are in due to the choices they made in their lives.

Being a work bee is a choice. People chose to subjugate themselves to an employer and then latter added unions to the list of those who control their lives. Everyone has the choice to strike out on their own. We have in this country, at least for now, the ability to succeed, or fail, based on our own efforts and choices. Everyone gets out of life only what they put into it.

Also I believe you would be hard pressed to find anyone who hadn't committed sodomy on this forum. By definition oral sex is sodomy...just saying!

Your opinion is based on faith, not facts...two totally different things.

It's true that I have an opinion of what the facts are, but don't we all? If I turn out to be correct--that there is a God, YHWH, Father of the One we call Christ and that He has prescribed certain behaviors and proscribed others, then it turns out my beliefs are fact. You, yourself, will believe one day. Hope that's sooner rather than later.

But we all know what definition is in play when we talk about same-sex perversion, being that's the behavior God forbade.
