20 Obvious Truths That Will Shock Liberals

TOWNHALL.COM ^ | March 2, 2012 | John Hawkins

[SaveOurRepublicFromTyranny]

1) The Founding Fathers were generally religious, gun-toting small government fanatics who were so far to the Right that they'd make Ann Coulter look like Jimmy Carter.

2) The greatest evil this country has ever committed isn't slavery; it's killing more than 50 million innocent children via abortion.

3) Conservatives are much more compassionate than liberals and all you have to do to prove it is look at all the studies showing that conservatives give more of their money to charity than liberals do...

[Peter from Rutland]

Very well stated.

[VRWC For Truth]

Liberals are all about power and not the truth. Freedom always wins, always. Freedom is endowed by God. It’s why Liberals never win in the end.

[jacknhoo]

Ann Coulter looks quite liberal, with her support of Romney.

By doing so, she supports abortion, euthanasia, Obamacare and big government.

Seems to me, she looking quite like Carter, all on her own - no need for the founding fathers comparison.

Well, radiation is actually good for you.

[Twotone]

Ann Coulter wants to beat Obama. So do I. Romney isn’t my first pick (or 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th 6th or 7th), but I’ll vote for him to get Obama out of the White House.

I still appreciate Ann’s wit & ability to make liberal heads explode. And there isn’t anyone any of us agree with 100% of the time. So there’s no reason to give her grief over this. If she actually came out & verbally supported abortion, euthanasia, Obamacare & big gov’t I’d change my mind.

Please read Aitken's BIBLE ENDORSED BY CONGRESS.

Congressional resolution, September 12, 1782, endorsing Robert Aitken's Bible [page 468]
David C. Claypoole, 1782 from the Journals of Congress

The war with Britain cut off the supply of Bibles to the United States with the result that
on Sept. 11, 1777, Congress instructed its Committee of Commerce to import 20,000 Bibles from "Scotland, Holland or elsewhere."
On January 21, 1781, Philadelphia printer Robert Aitken (1734-1802) petitioned Congress
to officially sanction a publication of the Old and New Testament
which he was preparing at his own expense.
Congress "highly approve the pious and laudable undertaking of Mr. Aitken,
as subservient to the interest of religion . . . in this country, and . . . they recommend this edition of the bible to the inhabitants of the United States."
This resolution was a result of Aitken's successful accomplishment of his project.

Aitken's Bible

Aitken published Congress's recommendation of September 1782 and related documents (Item 115)
as an imprimatur on the two pages following his title page.
Aitken's Bible, published under Congressional patronage,
was the first English language Bible published on the North American continent.



"The Bible of the American Revolution"

As long as the United States remained under British rule,
the British government forbade the printing of Bibles in America.
When the Colonies declared their independence,
the importation of Bibles became restricted
and by 1777 there was a severe shortage of Bibles in America.
On September 11, 1777, this shortage of Bibles was brought to the attention of the Continental Congress
by its chaplain, Dr. Patrick Allison.
He said in his report that Bibles were urgently needed because,
“the use of the Bible is so universal and its importance so great”
and on Dr. Allison’s advice, Congress passed a resolution
to make every attempt to import 20,000 Bibles in English
“from Holland, Scotland, or elsewhere, into the different parts of the Union.”
The importation of Bibles soon proved to be nearly impossible
and the Continental Congress had to search for another alternative
to supply the population with their most important book.

On January 21, 1781, the noted colonial printer Robert Aitken petitioned Congress
for both sanction and support for the production of a complete Bible for the American people
and a committee was immediately formed to determine
if Aitken were qualified to produce a book of such significance.
Aitken’s impressive credentials
(he had, among other things, been the publisher of the Journals of Congress for the first Congress
and published numerous articles by Thomas Paine)
convinced the committee and on September 10, 1782,
a Congressional Resolution was adopted granting Aitken permission and financial support
for the printing of the first edition of the first American Bible.

George Washington, one of the greatest supporters of the Aitken Bible, was so pleased with the result
that he regretted that the Revolutionary troops had been disbanded
before he could provide them with such an appropriate symbol of his gratitude.
Writing to a friend, Washington lamented,
"It would have pleased me well,
if Congress had been pleased to make such an important present
(a copy of the Aitken Bible) to the brave fellows,
who have done so much for the security of their Country's rights and establishment."

The printing of the new Bible marked a significant moment in the history of the United States.
More American versions of the Bible soon followed
and, no longer subject to British editions of the Bible, the United States was,
for the first time, able to fully express the freedom of religion held so dearly by the population.
The Aitken Bible was championed by the people
and symbolized a dramatic release from British, and indeed government control,
over their right and ability to worship.







Although 10,000 copies of the Aitken Bible were printed, the first printing is extraordinarily scarce today.
20^th-century estimates place the number of extant copies between 30-40, with possibly five (certainly no more than ten) in private hands.
It is one of the world’s rarest books, significantly rarer than even the Gutenberg Bible. 

The photo of the copy to the left is an extraordinarily scarce first edition,
one of approximately 30 known copies (with perhaps only five in private hands),
of the first English Bible printed in America,
the first and only Bible ever to be printed with Congressional approval.
An absolutely extraordinary copy of a most rare and important volume.





I also found out that the Aitken 1782 Holy Bible was called by Congress the
Bible. English. Authorized. 1782..

Well, Ann lost me when she dissed Sarah. Sarah is way more a woman than Ann. Ann has gone over to the pro-homosexuality group and is supporting Romney because he said that he could get support for same sex unions through. She said she’d vote for Obama if Romney did not win. That says a lot to me...and nothing that I like, either.

[jacknhoo]

I suppose you don’t believe Romney has “actually come out and supported abortion, euthanasia, big government and Obamacare” either then.

It appears that voting/endorsing/legislating these leftist ideals doesn’t really mean a lot to you.

I guess Romney never “actually” supported same-sex marriage, either.

It is your kind of just-winism that has ruined this nation.

You're welcome.
But thank Glenn Beck and his sources, because that's where I got it, from listening to him.

“It is your kind of just-winism that has ruined this nation.”

No, the problem is a dearth of excellent candidates with the resources & drive to make a presidential run. That means we’re left with imperfect candidates who think they have to appeal to the middle to win. And that means WE are left with voting for the lesser of two evils.

I’ll vote for Romney, but I won’t be happy about it. Just like I voted for McCain & George W. Bush before him. I’m sure there are better people out there, but they weren’t our candidate.

[Twotone]

Ann does make hyperbolic comments from time to time. I sincerely doubt she will vote for Obama, regardless of who our candidate is. After all, she firmly dissed Romney as the candidate we did NOT want very early when the campaign started.

I suppose I’m more of a libertarian Republican. I’ve had a number of homosexual friends, & I don’t see the issue with allowing them to marry. If you are extremely religious, I can understand your opposition. But if we want to encourage a more wholesome lifestyle, it’s one way of letting gays establish a long-term relationship with some semblance of societal acceptance. Better that than the ‘bath house’.

However, Republicans need to make a very strong case that under no circumstances will we condone child sex. I was shocked when Tammy Bruce said that virtually all of her male gay friends admitted to having been abused as a child. That says a lot about the psychological trauma that resulted in the life-style. I’ve known mostly lesbians. At least one was a radical feminist who chose that lifestyle & later grew up & found a guy. Another friend had been in an abusive hetero relationship at the age of 16 resulting in a son. She ended up in a lesbian relationship, & she & her partner raised her son who is a wonderful young man, now happily married with two kids of his own.

I love Sarah Palin, but she doesn’t speak well & she would’ve come off badly against the professorial demeanor of Obama. (I know, he ain’t that smart, but without the uh’s he sounds good.) And it was obvious that the left was well-prepared to heap more calumny on her if she attempted to run. I hope that Romney has the sense to make her Energy Secretary, or in some way utilize her skills so that the American people can see her as the intelligent & competent person we know she is. She’s still young enough for a presidential run after Romney.

1) The Founding Fathers were generally religious, gun-toting small government fanatics who were so far to the Right that they'd make Ann Coulter look like Jimmy Carter.

The Left-Right spectrum of of the founder's times can not be compared to today's. At the time, the founders were Leftist revolutionaries and Liberals. To be on the Right meant to have allegiance to Monarchy. The founders were the original seeds of liberalism, which at the time favored limited government, constitutionalism, rule of law, due process, and liberty of individuals including freedom of religion, speech, press, assembly, and free markets.

In the 20th century, liberalism was hijacked by New Deal socialists and statists. Today, the Left-Right spectrum is used mostly to label ideas and people in order to polarize the masses.
