1. Science is never settled: Scientists who claim that "the science is settled" are fools--period. "Science is our understanding of nature. We believed that the universe revolved around the Earth until we discovered that it didn't. Smart scientists know there is always more to learn, and they avoid claims that their understanding is settled. We were told that the evils of mankind would lead to a "global warming" death of the planet by 2000. In 2006, Al Gore changed the expiration date to 2016, because the science was more settled. In 2019, Rep. AOC said that the world will end in 12 years because of "climate change". Fauci says masks don't work, but wear one anyway--in fact, wear two. 2. Stimulus spending stimulates government growth: The economy is stimulated when people spend money. But before the government can dole out stimulus checks, it has to take money from taxpayers. So taking money away from taxpayers and then giving some of it back is somehow supposed to give them more money to spend? "Build Back Better" is a lie just as "shovel ready projects" was before it. Taking money from people who actually produce something, and then giving less of it back, does not create economic growth. It throttles it. 3. Welfare spending doesn't cure poverty; it creates it: Work and self-reliance are the only means to escape poverty. But that requires action by individuals, not the state. People have to choose to take responsibility for their own welfare. 4. Racism cannot be eliminated with racism: Martin Luther King Jr. dreamed of a world in which his children "will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." He gave us the key to eliminate racism--strive for a colorblind society, and yet liberals not only ignored it--they created the need to use one's skin color as a political weapon against the Republicans, and against white people in general with such acts as toppling historic statues and insisting the 1619 Project is the real founding of America etc. We use the period from the 1940s to the 1960s to desegregate. Then we jumped aboard the "valuing diversity" train in the 1980s. Now we're segregating again thanks in total to the democrats. 5. Biological sex is not a choice GOD has granted us: Men can't have babies--period. Women can have babies, even if they imagine that they are men. It's a nature thing, having to with the presence of XY or XX chromosomes. No amount of imagination can change one's genetic code. Wishing we had chromosomes other than the ones GOD gave us does not make it so. Attempting to physically rather than psychologically correct the unhappiness results in a man breaking all of the records in women's swimming--while we stand by and act as though we don't notice. 6. Reality is Fungible: Liberals don't understand that we cannot exchange our reality for another one. Understanding that truth comes from a recognition that we do not control the laws of nature or economics. The laws of nature cannot be changed because they are inconvenient. Truth is fixed, and facts are hard. Conservatism tends to accompany the acquisition of wisdom. Conservatives want the same outcomes as liberals but understand that simplistic solutions don't fix problems; they perpetuate them. Choosing to fight reality leads to a life of frustration and disappointment. Perhaps that explains why liberals live in a perpetual state of unhappiness.
