I got to thinking today about Rush's UTOL's today when I heard him take a caller from a young (under 18 I think) caller on his show today. And the young person was mentioning the UTOL concerning Evolution, and I htought to my self "I wonder how many your potential conservatives out there who might be voting for the first time this year would benefit from reading all of the UTOL's?" Not to mention that some of us who remember these came out originally would like to have them so they can refer to them from time to time.
It struck me as I was reding them for the first time in about 10 years how true some of them are still today.
So here they are. The original "Sacremento" list and the updated list. Enjoy.

Rush Limbaugh's Updated 35 Undeniable Truths
Recently, Rush has updated this list, many of the "old" UTOL having become somewhat dated (but no less true for being in the past tense!) As read by Rush Limbaugh on his radio show, Friday, February 18, 1994:
(All equally truthful: number 1 is not more or less important than 35.)
1. There is a distinct singular American culture - rugged individualism and self-reliance - which made America great.
2. The vast majority of the rich in this country did not inherit their wealth; they earned it. They are the country's achievers, producers, and job creators.
3. No nation has ever taxed itself into prosperity.
4. Evidence refutes liberalism.
5. There is no such thing as a New Democrat.
6. The Earth's eco-system is not fragile.
7. Character matters; leadership decends from character.
8. The most beautiful thing about a tree is what you do with it after you cut it down.
9. Ronald Reagan was the greatest president of the twentieth century.
10. The 1980s was not a decade of greed but a decade of prosperity; it was the longest period of peacetime growth in American history.
11. Abstinence prevents sexually transmitted disease and pregnancy - every time it's tried.
12. Condoms only work during the school year.
13. Poverty is not the root ("rut") cause of crime.
14. There's a simple way to solve the crime problem: obey the law; punish those who do not.
15. If you commit a crime, you are guilty.
16. Women should not be allowed on juries where the accused is a stud. (In response to the hung jury in the Menendez brothers trial)
17. The way to improve our schools is not more money, but the reintroduction of moral and spiritual values, as well as the four "R's":reading, 'riting, 'rithmatic, and Rush.
18. I am not arrogant.
19. My first 35 Undeniable Truths are still undeniable
Hmmm, how 'bout these Truths (from the ConstitutionParty.com):...
"Hmmm, how 'bout these Truths (from the ConstitutionParty.com):...
'50 Reasons We Aren't Better Off With Bush'"
This is a joke right?
7. There is only one way to get rid of nuclear weapons - use them.
nufsed
I'm not trying to incite, honestly.
But how can you say we're not better off in this country with President Bush?
And if as you say we aren't better off...who is your suggestion for a better President.
Specific name please in the interest of discussion, not just a random "anyone BUT Bush" kinda answer.
If you replace USSR in a couple of those with Terrorism this list could have been written yesterday.
The thoughts about RATS still hold true (more so today IMHO).
Replace "Pittsburgh Steelers" with DALLAS COWBOYS and the list would be perfect!
Constitution Party: One of the tricks of the Left designed to fragment the Conservative vote. Same thing with several other third parties. It's interesting to see how many sheeple fall for that stuff.
Read my '50 Reasons' (Peroutka for President) Link
Here's why Bush and the DemonRepubRats are NoGood...
'Current Communist Goals'...Source: Congressional Record--Appendix, pp. A34-A35 January 10, 1963
excerpt from Restoring America...
'Despite the "cold war" that followed, the goals of the communists were steadfastly imposed upon the American people. As Americans (the Protectors of the Constitution), we must ask ourselves,...
"What kind of leaders have we elected?"
"How could it be that Americans have so blindly followed corrupt politicians?"
"How can Americans even assume that we are still a free people?"
Men who believe that they are free when in reality they are mere slaves are to be pitied more than those who know that they are slaves.
Wake up countryman, wake up and wake up your neighbor also! Those repugnant servants have sold out the American people, and have made their (communist) goals "current".
Funny you should mention DU. I work at a newspaper, in the IT department. I happened to be examining firewall logs today and noticed that someone in the newsroom was spending an inordinate amount of time reading and/or posting to DU.
I almost ignored that, because there was nothing unusual about it.
Nowhere in Rush's undeniable truths does he mention that the "old media" are the enemies of this country. He should.
Well, I'm on the side of Freedom based on limited Constitutional gov't - not on the side of the NWO Neo-Con Bush Globalists - try reading Pat Buchanan's 'American Conservative Mag'...
The Madness of Empire - The War Party’s militarized strategy will unite the world against us.... By Scott McConnell
"23. Evolution cannot explain Creation. "
Creation can't explain dinosaurs.
Yeah, baby.
"24. Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women access to the mainstream of society."
This is a true truth. I figured this out for myself way back when in the 70s. I would only change the phrase "mainstream of society" to "levers of power".

Don't feel bad about loving the Steelers. I'm a lifelong Texas and my absolute FAVORITE college team is Oklahoma! Try living in W. Texas and wearing your Sooner gear everywhere. In my later...senile years...I've actually worn it on 6th street and got away with wearing my sooner baseballcap (in uniform) to one of my guard drills so my Major (A film studies teacher at UT) would see it. Fortuneately he had a sense of humor and I didn't do that many push ups.
Kindergarten in 1974 huh? Nice to find someone my own age! :) 40 doesn't seem so bad now huh?
"...which side are you on, again? Please let us know.'

Ahh a WWII style America Firster. So may questions I'd LOVE to have one of these people answer without referring me to silly articles.
My basic question I posed in another post on this thread remains unanswered.
If Pres. Bush is not the answer, who is? Perot?, Nader, LaRouche?
I'm almost to the point where I'd rather say I'm a piano player in a Whore House than to admit that I'm in the media.
The only thing...IMHO...that allows me to look myself in the eye about meing in the news media is the fct that I wear an Army uniform. I have a vested interest in protecting the constitution and the part about "Freedom of the press".
He is a Constitution Party dreamer.
If we had steak, we could have steak and eggs... if we had eggs.
Sub-motto:
If we can't have steak and eggs, we won't eat. So there!

LOL!
20. Only liberal's use apostrophe's for plural's.
"Creation can't explain dinosaurs."
To those who see Genesis as a factual account this is no problem, they simply deny that dinosaurs ever existed.
?
I guess it can also be said of those who swear man has "evolved" from protozoa that it will indeed be proven "someday" -- just not "today."
I'm struck by how timeless they are. Replace "Communism" with Islamofascism" and Rush's Undeniable Truths Of Life remain as fresh as when they were issued back in 1985. That was at the height of the Cold War. Thankfully, the USSR is now history but we're facing today an enemy even more dedicated and dangerous as an opponent of freedom and American civilization than the Communists. Liberals are still in deep denial about the real nature of our world.
"You guys support school vouchers yet?"
Been all for them since the idea was first suggested.
Gotta find a way to break the stranglehold of the NEA Maffia on our public schools.
"...Replace "Pittsburgh Steelers" with DALLAS COWBOYS and the list would be perfect!..."
You've got that right!!!!!
2. The greatest threat to humanity lies in the USSR.
So what he's saying here is, "The [nuclear arsenal of the USSR] lies in the USSR."
Was that entirely true? At the time Rush announced those "truths," were all Soviet nuclear weapons inside the borders of the USSR?
10. Communism Kills.
No, it doesn't. Abstract ideals can't hurt anyone any more than an inanimate firearm can. People kill people. Communists murder people, not "Communism." Karl Marx never hurt anyone. (I'm not defending his beliefs or claiming he was "misunderstood" by the Communists who followed him, just pointing out that he never killed anyone--and only those who carried out the murders or supportted the murderers are guilty).
18. I am not arrogant.
Barf.
Of course, all three of these are very minor points, nit-picking really.
We are winning ~ the bad guys are losing ~ trolls, terrorists, .05% third party fringee's, democrats and the mainstream media are sad ~ very sad!
Your agruement...IMHO...would be like saying that Hitler houldn't be blamed for the Holocoust because he never personally killed a Jew at a Death Camp.
Don't mistake Rush's confidence for arrogance or cockiness.
Rush is confident because he stands behind what he says and time and evidence has born out most of what he has said to be true.
Kerry is arrogant. His lips are moving but there's no confience to his convictions, which change daily.
And if I remember correctly...even Karl Marx got his hands dirty in the Bolschlevik Revolution in 1917.
I said no such thing. Hitler was giving orders to carry out mass murder. Giving orders falls squarely into the category of carrying something out.
And if I remember correctly...even Karl Marx got his hands dirty in the Bolschlevik Revolution in 1917.
Karl Marx never carried out a genocide, he never ordered one, he never even suggested one. He just left things real vague about how we were supposed to get from our current state to the glorious socialist wonderland. Marx died in 1883, so you must be confusing him with Trotsky or something.
There is no comparison between what Marx advocated/did and what Hitler advocated/did.
And this gets back away from the point: no matter what Karl Marx did, "Communism" never did anything. If Communism killed millions of people, put Communism in jail!
Whatever. Talk in circles all you want to. Communism as a government and the people who executed that form of government have untold millions of deaths on their hands and nothing but a long list of failures at their attempt at that style of government.
"I said no such thing. Hitler was giving orders to carry out mass murder. Giving orders falls squarely into the category of carrying something out.
And Stalin gave out orders for the mass murder of millions in Siberia alone. No telling how many other Russians died because of his ORDERS!
You're right I mixed up Marx with Lenin. I'll concede THAT point only.
And to get back to my comparison between the two. The National Socialist Party (you might know them as the Nazi Party) and Socialist Russia (a.k.a. Communist Russia) as a system never killed anyone. The people who subscribed to and trumpeted those systems of government did. Ergo...Socialism AND Nazi-ism BOTH have the blood of millions on their hands.
I'm with you on the Dallas Cowboys. Sorry that lib attacked you, but it happens. He is no longer with us now. If that helps. :)
"You guys support school vouchers yet?"
Of course they don't. The current, socialistic pubic school system is who they support, but you already knew that.
Yeah I noticed he got banned before we all had a chance to "expose" him so to speak.! LOL!
But it looks like his replacement is already here...trying to justify Communism as a viable form of government.
"But it looks like his replacement is already here...trying to justify Communism as a viable form of government."
Point 'em out for me, please, sir.
Happened again! Dagnabit...a line of thunderstorms moved through here over the last few hours and I had to sign off or risk a real-life ZOT! over my DSL line.
I see the troll didn't last long, though...ha, ha...ZOT hits the spot, again--scratch one incoming disruptor.
# 33, 35 and 36
Yes the weather Gods are stirring here in the Kansas plains as well. Once again I will look into the face of the real life ZOT and not blink! LOL!
"Hmmm, how 'bout these Truths (from the ConstitutionParty.com):..."
Buh Bye jerk.
Oxycontin bump
Can someone please create a PeaceParty.com site? The site could offer all the reasons that Kerry is a whackjob:
- Kerry the soldier who admitted killing people with his own hand while Bush at least never killed anyone.
- Bush at least isn't a money grubbing gigolo who actually MARRIED a rich person.
- Kerry says he hates his SUVs but lets his RICH wife buy them.
- etc.
What was the crime?
The Dems have been struggling for months to get it developed, they would LOVE your help.
"And this gets back away from the point: no matter what Karl Marx did, "Communism" never did anything. If Communism killed millions of people, put Communism in jail!"
We did put Communism in jail. Ronald Reagan broke the back of the Soviet Union, the Communist STATE RESPONSIBLE FOR MURDERING THOUSAND OF PEOPLE BEHIND THE IDEA OF COMMUNISM. I don't know what it takes to understand that ideas are as dangerous as the people that believe them.
Why do you think that Jesus Christ was crucified? It certainly wasn't because he was an aggressive threat to the Romans or Jews? In fact, he was a Jew, but the ideas, Christianity, threatened their way of life at the time.
And since it's impossible to put an idea in jail, one must cut the head of the snake off, so to speak. Meaning we must attack Terrorism aggressively as President Reagan handled Communism. We must never relent or else the IDEA will find its way into more terrorists heads and harm more innocent civilians.
Now if you're willing to take the chance on whether you get on the next plane that'll arrive at its destination, because you don't inherently think ideas are dangerous, then vote for John Kerry for President in 2004 and we'll see if you're wrong or right.
I would never help them, but I'm pretty sure they are waiting until shortly before the election to bring charges against Rush - and yes, it is politically motivated.
