13 Facts About America Conservatives Would Like You to Forget

[eyer]

1. Conservatives opposed the Founding Fathers, the American Revolution and a lot of other righteous stuff as well.

Today, progressives oppose "the Founding Fathers, the American Revolution and a lot of other righteous stuff as well."

2. The United States is not a Christian nation, and the Bible is not the cornerstone of our law.

Don’t take my word for it. Let these Founding Fathers speak for themselves:

John Adams

Thomas Jefferson

James Madison

George Washington

Thank the Creator, whom each one of "these Founding Fathers" trusted in and appealed to while "founding" this great nation...

...that He hates religion, too.

As far as the Bible is concerned...

..."these Founding Fathers" were morally and philosophically schooled extensively in the words of the Bible - the book had a huge affect in each one's political thought. Jefferson, late in his life in fact, in answer to lifelong questioning about his own religious beliefs, created The Jefferson Bible, which was basically the New Testament word-for-word, except that every mention of a miracle performed by the Nazarene was omitted - Jefferson believed in God, but not the divinity of Yahshua.

To even insinuate that the God and the Bible had no practical influencing affect on the political philosophies of the great majority of the "Founding Fathers" as this nation's political framing was forged is to deliberately practice disingenuousness in the extreme; which is no doubt why the author's 4-man list of "Founding Fathers" is so unrepresentatively censored and short.

And, of course, why he must erroneously use the framers command for absolute government neutrality on the issue of religious freedom (Congress shall make no law...)...

...to disingenuously shield his progressive political stance of the government need to absolutely make laws to regulate religious freedom.

3. Long before the United States even existed, it was drawing "problem" immigrants.

Let's see:

"anti-government radicals" are good, like "the Founding Fathers" in the author's example #1, when it fits the author's political agenda...

...but "anti-government radicals" are bad when they go against the author's anti-religion agenda, like the "problem immigrants" "Pilgrims".

No wonder this is just another King0 c&p.

4. Those Pilgrims were commies... and it saved their lives.

This is probably the most hypocritically ironic one of the bunch...

...see my The Fall of Communism in Virginia

Too bad the disingenuous author lies about how devastating socialism's affect was on the individual well-being among some of America's first European settlers...

...such a devastating effect that if the colony wouldn't have intentionally turned to a more capitalistic approach, it would've never survived at all.

5. One of the Founding Fathers, Thomas Jefferson, hated Thanksgiving.

Any objective observer of Jefferson almost immediately has to note what a self-contradictory mind he possessed on a host of issues; objectively, that's not a negative or positive observation - it's just plain fact.

The subjective author can disingenuously choose to employ his "hated Thanksgiving" example, but it looses all his hot air when compared to another piece of reality:

The State Becomes the Church: Jefferson and Madison

It is no exaggeration to say that on Sundays in Washington during the administrations of Thomas Jefferson (1801-1809) and of James Madison (1809-1817) the state became the church. Within a year of his inauguration, Jefferson began attending church services in the House of Representatives. Madison followed Jefferson's example, although unlike Jefferson, who rode on horseback to church in the Capitol, Madison came in a coach and four. Worship services in the House--a practice that continued until after the Civil War--were acceptable to Jefferson because they were nondiscriminatory and voluntary. Preachers of every Protestant denomination appeared. (Catholic priests began officiating in 1826.) As early as January 1806 a female evangelist, Dorothy Ripley, delivered a camp meeting-style exhortation in the House to Jefferson, Vice President Aaron Burr, and a "crowded audience." Throughout his administration Jefferson permitted church services in executive branch buildings. The Gospel was also preached in the Supreme Court chambers.

Jefferson's actions may seem surprising because his attitude toward the relation between religion and government is usually thought to have been embodied in his recommendation that there exist "a wall of separation between church and state." In that statement, Jefferson was apparently declaring his opposition, as Madison had done in introducing the Bill of Rights, to a "national" religion. In attending church services on public property, Jefferson and Madison consciously and deliberately were offering symbolic support to religion as a prop for republican government.

6. The Pledge of Allegiance was written by a socialist.

The author cannot help his native, projective disingenuousness, obviously:

It's not the 1892 socialist version of "The Pledge..." that progressives are against...

...it's the 1954 addition of "under God" that makes them froth at the mouth.

Should it comes as any surprise, then, that as far as conservatives go, their view is probably just the opposite?

7. Roe v. Wade was a bipartisan decision made by a predominantly Republican-appointed Supreme Court.

Too friggin' funny:

To get the tally even close to his disingenuous non-point, the author has to label Blackmun "a conservative who eventually turned liberal", otherwise his politcal leaning make-up of the 9 Justice court would properly read: 5 liberals, 2 moderates, 2 conservatives, which really diminishes his actual propaganda deflection:

"No one can rightly say that this was a leftist court forcing its liberal beliefs on America."

8. Conservative icon Ronald Reagan once signed a bill legalizing abortion.

Besides the fact that there are currently a great number of Republicans who favor legal abortion...

...I imagine there are also a great number of conservatives who favor legal aboriton when the literal "well being of the mother" is at stake.

It's hilarious when progressives need to bash their own allies on issues so important to them.

9. Reagan also raised federal taxes eleven times.

Okay, Ronald Reagan cut tax rates more than any other president...

After those facts...

...nothing more than mostly disingenuous subjectivity ensues.

10. Barry Goldwater was pro-choice, supported gay rights, deeply despised the Religious Right, and - gasp! - liked Hillary Clinton.

Again, too friggin funny: a disingenuous progressive holding up "Mr. Conservative'' as some sort of positive "conservative" political example, whose stances on abortion, gay rights, etc, read here like they were more liberal than LBJ's...

...yet, how many progressives voted for Goldwater and "pro-choice" and "gay rights" and against "the Religious Right" in 1964, compared to those who voted overwhelmingly for the much more "conservative" politician Johnson actually was.

11. The first president to propose national health insurance was a Republican.
12. Those "job-killing" environmental regulations? Republican things.

So, now the author has to disingenuously move his original "Conservative" goalpost to include "Republican", too...

...as if Democrats and Republicans in general aren't principally equal statists, naturally?

13. President Obama was not only born in the United States, his roots run deeper in American history than most conservatives’ - and most other Americans' - do.

Yet, according to "the Founding Fathers" the author initially employed as authorities to favor his own politically disingenuous, partisan agenda...

...Obama - just like Ted Cruz - would be ineligible for the Office of President of the United States of America because neither are natural born citizens for the very same reason.

 

[KingOrfeo]

...Obama - just like Ted Cruz - would be ineligible for the Office of President of the United States of America because neither are natural born citizens for the very same reason.

Obama was born in an American state to an American mother; he is a natural-born citizen.

Independence Day Special: Thirteen Facts About America Conservatives Would Like You to Forget

by Richard RiisFollow

1. Conservatives opposed the Founding Fathers, the American Revolution and a lot of other righteous stuff as well.

By definition a conservative is one who wishes to preserve and/or restore traditional values and institutions, i.e. to “conserve” the established order. No surprise then that 18th century American conservatives wanted no part of breaking away from the British Empire and the comforting bonds of monarchical government. Those anti-revolutionary conservatives were called Tories, the name still used for the conservative party in England. The Founding Fathers? As radically left-wing as they came in the 1770s. The Boston Tea Party? The "Occupy Wall Street" of its day.

Some of the other "traditional" values supported by conservatives over the course of American history have included slavery (remember that the Republican Party was on the liberal fringe in 1860), religious persecution, the subjugation of women and minorities, obstacles to immigration, voter suppression, prohibition and segregation. Conservatives started off on the wrong side of American history, and that's where they've been ever since.

2. The United States is not a Christian nation, and the Bible is not the cornerstone of our law.

Don’t take my word for it. Let these Founding Fathers speak for themselves:

John Adams: “The government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion.” (Treaty of Tripoli, 1797)

Thomas Jefferson: “Christianity neither is, nor ever was, a part of the common law.” (Letter to Dr. Thomas Cooper, February 10, 1814)

James Madison: “The civil government … functions with complete success … by the total separation of the Church from the State.” (Writings, 8:432, 1819)

George Washington: “If I could conceive that the general government might ever be so administered as to render the liberty of conscience insecure, I beg you will be persuaded, that no one would be more zealous than myself to establish effectual barriers against the horrors of spiritual tyranny, and every species of religious persecution.” (Letter to the United Baptist Chamber of Virginia, May 1789)

You can find a multitude of similar quotes from these men and most others who signed the Declaration of Independence and/or formulated the United States Constitution. These are hardly the words of men who believed that America should be a Christian nation governed by the Bible, as a disturbing fundamentalist trend today would have it be.

3. Long before the United States even existed, it was drawing "problem" immigrants.

After being pretty much run out of England as anti-government radicals, the religious dissidents we know today as the Pilgrims settled in Leiden, Holland, where they set about making themselves that nation's immigrant problem. Sticking to themselves and refusing to “blend in” with their new homeland, the Pilgrims grew alarmed by the unpalatable ideas to which their children were being exposed, such as religious tolerance (good for the Pilgrims, bad for everyone else) and national service (like all Dutch residents, the Pilgrims were eligible for the draft). When their children began picking up the Dutch language, the Pilgrims had had enough. By then the Dutch had, too. Next stop: Plymouth Rock.

4. Those Pilgrims were commies... and it saved their lives.

Governor William Bradford’s memoirs confirm that the first thing the settlers did upon arrival in the Plymouth Colony was to set up a textbook communist system of production and distribution. Every resident of the colony was expected to share, to the extent of his or her ability, the chores of hunting, farming, cooking, building, making clothing, etc., and, in exchange, everyone shared the products of that communal labor.

That commie-pinko economy sustained the Pilgrims through their first brutal year in the New World, after which it was decided that the colony was sufficiently stable to allow householders their own plot of land on which to grow crops they were free to keep for themselves. The fact that the colonists’ productivity increased exponentially with their own land begs the question: were the Pilgrims working harder now that they got to keep the product of their own labor or, conversely, were they prone to slacking off when the goods came whether they worked hard or not?

I guess you could say the Pilgrims were the kind of lazy, shiftless “takers” that conservatives are always railing against.

5. One of the Founding Fathers, Thomas Jefferson, hated Thanksgiving.

In fact, Thomas Jefferson once called a national day of Thanksgiving “the most ridiculous idea” he’d ever heard of.

Despite being first proclaimed by George Washington in 1789, Jefferson believed a national day of thanksgiving was not consistent with the principle of separation of church and state and refused to recognize the holiday in any of the eight years in which he was president of the United States. “Every one must act according to the dictates of his own reason,” Jefferson once wrote, “and mine tells me that civil powers alone have been given to the President of the United States, and no authority to direct the religious exercises of his constituents.”

For the record, Presidents Andrew Jackson and Zachary Taylor refused to issue Thanksgiving Day proclamations during their administrations, too. Can you imagine what Fox News Channel would have made of these administrations' “War on Thanksgiving”?

6. The Pledge of Allegiance was written by a socialist.

The Pledge was written in 1892 for public school celebrations of the 400th anniversary of Columbus’ arrival in the Americas. Its author was Francis Bellamy, a Baptist minister, Christian socialist and cousin of socialist utopian novelist Edward Bellamy. Christian socialism maintains, among other ideas, that capitalism is idolatrous and rooted in greed, and the underlying cause of much of the world’s social inequity. Kinda puts the red in the ol' red, white and blue, doesn't it?

7. Roe v. Wade was a bipartisan decision made by a predominantly Republican-appointed Supreme Court.

Technically, Roe v. Wade did not make abortion legal in the United States, the Supreme Court merely found that the state of Texas’ prohibition on abortion violated the 14th Amendment Due Process Clause and that states could exercise varying degrees of discretion in regulating abortion, depending upon the stage of pregnancy. The Court also held the law violated the right to privacy under substantive due process.

That being said, the landmark 1973 ruling that conservatives love to hate, was decided on a 7-2 vote that broke down like this:

Majority (for Roe): Chief Justice Warren Burger (conservative, appointed by Nixon), William O. Douglas (liberal, appointed by FDR), William J. Brennan (liberal, appointed by Eisenhower), Potter Stewart (moderate, appointed by Eisenhower), Thurgood Marshall (liberal, appointed by LBJ), Harry Blackmun (author of the majority opinion and a conservative who eventually turned liberal, appointed by Nixon), Lewis Powell (moderate, appointed by Nixon). Summary: 3 liberals, 2 conservatives, 2 moderates.

Dissenting (for Wade): Byron White (generally liberal/sometimes conservative, appointed by JFK), William Rehnquist (conservative, appointed by Nixon). Summary: 1 liberal, 1 conservative.

By ideological orientation, it was an across-the-board decision for Roe: conservatives 2-1, liberals 3-1, moderates 2-0; by party of presidential appointment: Republicans 5-1, Democrats 2-1. No one can rightly say that this was a leftist court forcing its liberal beliefs on America.

8. Conservative icon Ronald Reagan once signed a bill legalizing abortion.

The Ronald Reagan conservatives worship today is more myth than reality. Reagan was a conservative for sure, but also a practical politician who understood the necessities of compromise. In the spring of 1967, four months into his first term as governor of California, Ronald Reagan signed a bill that, among other provisions, legalized abortion for the vaguely-defined “well being” of the mother. Reagan may have been personally pro-life, but in this instance he was willing to compromise in order to achieve other ends he considered more important. That he claimed later to regret signing the bill doesn’t change the fact that he did. As Casey Stengel liked to say, “You could look it up.”

9. Reagan also raised federal taxes eleven times.

Okay, Ronald Reagan cut tax rates more than any other president – with a big asterisk. Sure, the top rate was reduced from 70% in 1980 all the way down to 28% in 1988, but while Republicans typically point to Reagan’s tax-cutting as the right approach to improving the economy, Reagan himself realized the resulting national debt from his revenue slashing was untenable, so he quietly raised other taxes on income – primarily Social Security and payroll taxes - no less than eleven times. Most of Reagan’s highly publicized tax cuts went to the usual handout-takers in the top income brackets, while his stealth tax increases had their biggest impact on the middle class. These increases were well hidden inside such innocuous-sounding packages as the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982, the Deficit Reduction Act of 1984 and the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1987. Leave it to a seasoned actor to pull off such a masterful charade.

10. Barry Goldwater was pro-choice, supported gay rights, deeply despised the Religious Right, and - gasp! - liked Hillary Clinton.

It's a measure of just how much farther right contemporary conservatism has shifted in just a generation or two that Barry "Mr. Conservative" Goldwater, the Republican standard-bearer in 1964, couldn't buy a ticket into a GOP convention in 2014.

There's no debating Goldwater's deeply conservative bona fides, but check these pronouncements from the man himself:

"I am a conservative Republican, but I believe in democracy and the separation of church and state. The conservative movement is founded on the simple tenet that people have the right to live life as they please as long as they don't hurt anyone else in the process." (Interview, Washington Post, July 28, 1994)

"A woman has a right to an abortion. That's a decision that's up to the pregnant woman, not up to the pope or some do-gooders or the Religious Right." (Interview, Los Angeles Times, 1994)

“The big thing is to make this country… quit discriminating against people just because they're gay. You don't have to agree with it, but they have a constitutional right to be gay. ... They're American citizens.” (Interview, Washington Post, July 28, 1994)

"Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know; I've tried to deal with them. Just who do they think they are? And from where do they presume to claim the right to dictate their moral beliefs to me? And I am even more angry as a legislator who must endure the threats of every religious group who thinks it has some God-granted right to control my vote on every roll call in the Senate. I am warning them today: I will fight them every step of the way if they try to dictate their moral convictions to all Americans in the name of ‘conservatism.’" (Congressional Record, September 16, 1981)

"If [Bill Clinton] let his wife run business, I think he'd be better off. ... I just like the way she acts. I've never met her, but I sent her a bag of chili, and she invited me to come to the White House some night and said she'd cook chili for me." (Interview, Washington Post, July 28, 1994)

11. The first president to propose national health insurance was a Republican.

He was also a trust-busting, pro-labor, Nobel Peace Prize-winning environmentalist. Is there any wonder why Theodore Roosevelt, who first proposed a system of national health insurance during his unsuccessful Progressive Party campaign to retake the White House from William Howard Taft in 1912, gets scarce mention at Republican National Conventions these days?

12. Those "job-killing" environmental regulations? Republican things.

Sometimes being conservative can be a good thing, like when it applies to conserving America's clean air and water, endangered wildlife and awesome natural beauty. Many of Theodore Roosevelt's greatest accomplishments as president were in the area of conserving America's natural environment. In 1905, Roosevelt formed the United States Forestry Service. Under his presidential authority, vast expanses of American real estate were declared off limits for private development and reserved for public use. During Roosevelt's time as president, forest reserves in the United States went from approximately 43 million acres to about 194 million acres. Talk about big government land grabs!

The United States Environmental Protection Agency, arch-enemy of polluters in particular and government regulation haters in general, was created by that other well-known GOP tree hugger, Richard Nixon. In his 1970 State of the Union Address, Nixon proclaimed the new decade a period of environmental transformation. Shortly thereafter he presented Congress an unprecedented 37-point message on the environment, requesting billions for the improvement of water treatment facilities, asking for national air quality standards and stringent guidelines to lower motor vehicle emissions, and launching federally-funded research to reduce automobile pollution. Nixon also ordered a clean-up of air- and water-polluting federal facilities, sought legislation to end the dumping of wastes into the Great Lakes, proposed a tax on lead additives in gasoline, and approved a National Contingency Plan for the treatment of petroleum spills. In July 1970 Nixon declared his intention to establish the Environmental Protection Agency, and that December the EPA opened for business. Hard to believe, but had it not been for Watergate, we might remember Richard Nixon today as the “environmental president”.

Oh, yes – conservatives would rather forget that Nixon was an advocate of national health insurance, too.

13. President Obama was not only born in the United States, his roots run deeper in American history than most conservatives’ - and most other Americans' - do.

The argument that Barack Obama was born anywhere but at Kapiolani Maternity and Gynecological Hospital in Honolulu, Hawaii, is not worth addressing; the evidence is indisputable by any rational human being. But not even irrational “birthers” can dispute Obama’s well-documented family tree on his mother’s side. By way of his Dunham lineage, President Obama has at least 11 direct ancestors who took up arms and fought for American independence in the Revolutionary War and two others cited as patriots by the Daughters of the American Revolution for furnishing supplies to the colonial army. This star-spangled heritage makes Obama eligible to join the Sons of the American Revolution, and his daughters the Daughters of the American Revolution. Not bad for someone some conservatives on the lunatic fringe still insist is a foreigner bent on destroying the United States of America.

Here is where your argument is fundamentally flawed. You see, these would be facts and conservatives don't deal in facts. So you sir are a commie, terrorist who hates freedom and Jeebus!

 

[eyer]

Obama was born in an American state to an American mother; he is a natural-born citizen.

As the original intent has been progressively diluted through the years...

...today it doesn't even matter if either of Obama's parents, just like the millions upon millions upon millions of anchor babies specifically born in America today, are citizens.

Of course, according to your (and the mob's) progressively democrat stance...

...Cruz is also a natural born citizen even though he wasn't born in the US.

Another perfect example of original intent trampled down to meaningless by the endless strides of progressivism:

A person born in the US to American citizens parents is no more a natural born citizen than is a person born in America who has a parent who is not an American citizen, nor any more than a person born in America, both of whose parents are not American citizens, and even no more than a person not born in America to a parent who isn't a citizen and one who is...

...and still that ain't "equality" enough for a number of you democrats, who lobby that even those with no American citizen parent and who weren't born in the US should be eligible for the Presidency, thus truly and finally erasing natural born from the American lexicon for good, and finally making simple, utopian, collective "citizens" of us all (you can admit it, King0: you popped your peanut just reading that).

You doublespeak bozos have managed to make the word equality meaningless by wholesale substituting in its place literal inequality.

Thus, Aristotle's axiom of objectivity, that only A is A, is now democratically propagated to read, A can be anything between A-Z...

...as Orwell grins from the grave with your statist affirmation.
