Vivek Ramaswamy's '10 Truths' Hit the Conservative Bullseye

Vivek Ramaswamy, the previously little-known 38-year-old multimillionaire biotech entrepreneur who has risen from relative political obscurity to the upper echelons of conservatism and the 2024 race for the Republican presidential nomination, on Thursday revealed his "10 truths" on social media.

The 10 Conservative Commandments? They should be; unshakably so.

As has proven to be his style, Ramaswamy wasn't afraid to wade into the hot-button issues of the radical left, right off the bat, beginning with "God is real," and "There are two genders."

1. God is real.
2. There are only two genders.
3. Human flourishing requires fossil fuels.
4. Reverse racism is racism.
5. An open border is no border.
6. Parents determine the education of their children.
7. The nuclear family is the greatest form of governance known to mankind.
8. Capitalism lifts people from poverty.
9. There are three branches of government, not four.
10. The U.S. Constitution is the strongest guarantor of freedoms in history.

It occurred to me as I typed the above list that Vivek's "10 truths" constitute the foundational beginning of America, and devoid of any one of them, this country would not have become what it became — a country that the Democrat Party continues to try to destroy as we know it — insidiously so, and never-ending. 

TRUTH.

1. God is real.
2. There are two genders.
3. Human flourishing requires fossil fuels.
4. Reverse racism is racism.
5. An open border is no border.
6. Parents determine the education of their children.
7. The nuclear family is the greatest form of governance known to mankind.

8. Capitalism lifts people up from poverty.

9. There are three branches of the U.S. government, not four.

10. The U.S. Constitution is the strongest guarantor of freedoms in history.

During a recent event at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum in Yorba Linda, California, Ramaswamy shared several details of his upbringing and his concern that the American Dream may not exist for further generations. Incidentally, Vivek was raised in Cincinnati, Ohio.

My parents came to this country 40 years ago with no money. In a single generation, I have gone on to found multi-billion dollar companies and did it while marrying my wife, Apoorva, and raising our two sons. That is the American dream, and I am deeply worried that that American dream will not exist for my two sons and their generation.

Ramaswamy's revelations reveal not only hope for all Americans with a dream who are willing to work to achieve their dreams — but also a feeling of despair, given the efforts of the far-left to fundamentally change this country into a wealth-redistributing juggernaut the likes of which the world has never seen. 

I'm reminded of a line from the lyrics of  "I'd Love to Change the World" by the classic 70s rock band, Ten Years After:

Tax the rich, feed the poor, til there are no rich no more.

The entire Democrat Party was seen vigorously nodding in approval. That is, except for taxing themselves. You know, the Democrat "Rules for thee, but not for me" thing.

Ramaswamy also shared his vision for keeping America strong on a recent Fox News appearance. One of the things that continue to impress me about this guy is his resolve. Politicians make promises, some of which they keep, some of which they have no intention of keeping. (See: "Joe Biden," "Democrat Party.")

In my not-so-humble opinion, Vivek Ramaswamy is the real deal.

Those 10 might sound great coming from a political candidate, but around here they are the norms.

I look for motivations, not words.

One of the reasons Trump is so popular here is because he is the prime target of leftist lawfare.

Ramaswamy fer yer Mommy!

[MarMema]

I like him.

Snake oil salesmen say what people want to hear.

Just an observation. As I listened tonight when Levin was badmouthing Vivek, it flashed before me his 2018 run-up where every night he badmouthed Trump as the inexperienced candidate who didn’t know what the hell he was talking about. Over and over again, each night he railed against Trump and every night I had to turn him off. Tonight I did the same as he launched his attack on the green behind the ears Ramaswamy who didn’t have a clue what he was talking about. If there is one thing Levin will be noted for is that he is politically brain-dead.

“Snake oil salesmen say what people want to hear.”

Remember William Barr preening for the job as Attorney General. He said what we wanted to hear. But look at his track record.

He forgot “I’m a WEF stooge”

A Hindu telling you God is real is meaningless.

LMAO that you or anyone would believe this Soros anchor baby Trojan Horse that is newly minted Republican.

Does a Hindu believe in God or not?

RE: LMAO that you or anyone would believe this Soros anchor baby Trojan Horse that is newly minted Republican.

Let’s start with “anchor baby”. How is he one?

Then let’s continue with Soros....

Has he supported any Soros initiative or candidate in the past?

If your explanations are plausible, then yes, he’s a Trojan Horse, but not until.

How so?

RE: Snake oil salesmen say what people want to hear.

What record in his background tell us he is a snake oil salesman?

How is Ramaswamy equivalent to Bill Barr?

[Reno89519]

He was born to Indian citizen parents. Anchor baby.

Gods with a plural.

Why don’t you search FR, there’s been many discussions about Ramaswamy.

Why do I have to search when you can tell me in this thread?

[IrishBrigade]

‘What record in his background tell us he is a snake oil salesman?’

well, he’s not Donald Trump, is he?
