| THE BELIEF | WHAT THE BELIEF IS | THE REALITY |
|---|---|---|
| OMNIPOTENT GOVERNMENT | Government can do anything it wants to.
Passing a bill causes what the bill says to happen. Only Republicans stop government from doing things. |
Government can't violate the laws of physics.
Government can't create wealth. Only doing work can do that. |
| LIBERAL GOVERNMENT UTOPIA | High Government spending becomes self-sustaining.
Government then has unlimited funds to spend. Republicans keep stopping the utopia from occurring. |
The liberal economic model is missing an equation that requires work
to be done to create wealth.
This is wishful thinking by the work avoiders. |
| GOVERNMENT CAN CREATE WEALTH | Liberals believe that government can create wealth by spending large amounts of tax
money.
Government has power to do anything it wants to do. |
The ONLY thing that can create any wealth is doing work making products for sale on open markets. |
| OBAMACARE CAN ACTUALLY WORK | Government can fix Obamacare to remove the inherent faults in it.
Government spending can create wealth to fund it. |
Obamacare promises more in health care benefits than the amount of
money in the entire world.
Obamacare is not sustainable. Obamacare destroys jobs. Obamacare violates the First Amendment. |
| SINGLE PAYER PLANS CAN WORK | Government can create a Single Payer health care system that actually works.
Government spending can create wealth to fund it. |
Single Payer promises more in health care benefits than TEN times the
amount of money in the world.
The Veterans Administration (VA) is Single Payer. Single Payer caused Austerity in Greece. Single Payer isn't sustainable without a large export income from other countries. US Volvo customers funded Swedish Single Payer. Single Payer destroys jobs. Single Payer violates the First Amendment. |
| THE BELIEF | WHAT THE BELIEF IS | THE REALITY |
| HEALTHCARE IS A HUMAN RIGHT | Because everyone needs healthcare, it must be a civil right and must be paid for
by government.
Because healthcare is so expensive, it must be a civil right and must be paid for by government. Government can create the wealth necessary to fund it. |
Nothing that costs money can ever be a human right or a civil right.
When wealth is gone, the right is gone too. Demonstrating and rioting can't create wealth. The ONLY thing that can create any wealth is doing work making products for sale on open markets. |
| DEMONSTRATING IS A RIGHT | You can do anything you want to get your way.
You can hurt and destroy to defend your rights. |
You do not have the right to break the law.
Hurting others and destroying property are wrong. |
| ALL RELIGIONS ARE FAKE | Every religion was created by a human being. | The First Amendment says otherwise.
There is no proof that men created all religions. |
| SCIENCE SAYS RELIGION IS FALSE | Science can't prove that any religion is true. | Science can't prove that any religion is false.
Science can't prove anything about any religious belief. Science can't prove that scientific thought is true. |
| RELIGIONS EXIST TO GOVERN | Men made all religions to make others obey them.
Religions keep people from having fun. |
Religions let you choose your afterlife.
Religions prohibit "fun" that harms others. There is no proof that men created all religions. |
| LET NO RELIGION IN GOVERNMENT | No religion has the right to control government. | Atheism is also a religious belief.
Government can't use taxes to violate a religion without violating religious rights of taxpayers. |

Supreme Court: Schools must neither abet nor hinder any pupil's religious belief. |
| BELIEVERS CAN'T TEACH SCHOOL | It is wrongdoing for religious people to teach school. | It is wrongdoing to discriminate when hiring on the basis of religious belief. |
| BELIEVERS CAN'T DO SCIENCE | It is wrongdoing for religious people to do science. | It is wrongdoing to discriminate when hiring on the basis of religious belief. |
| THE BELIEF | WHAT THE BELIEF IS | THE REALITY |
| FREEDOM FROM RELIGION | People should be able to be free from religion. | Freedom from religion violates the right of freedom of religion. |
| GLBT IS HEREDITARY | Since GLBT is hereditary, people can't avoid doing it. | The science showing that GLBT is hereditary was bad science.
Religions believe worshiping created things instead of God causes GLBT cravings. |
| BEING NICE PREVENTS WARS | Giving other countries nice things makes them friends. | Other countries turn nice things into weapons. Then they attack the nice countries. |
| GOVERNMENT CAN STOP ANY WAR | Stop fighting and the enemy will stop fighting. | If the enemy wants to keep fighting, the war cannot possibly end. |
| MILITARY SPENDING CUTS | Cutting military spending makes war less likely. | Cutting military spending removes protection and lets the enemy invade. |
