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.

RE: Well, we all know who is an operative now.

You only THINK you know. But you’re wrong.

[OftheOhio]

That’s how all leftist operatives roll, I’m sure.

He was born to Indian citizen parents. Anchor baby.

I feel that the term anchor-baby is for those situations where illegal alien(s) have a child while here illegally and use the birthright citizenship laws for the baby to then provide an "anchor" to help them stay here.

That was not the case with Ramaswamy's parents. They were both immigrants with good skills that had legally immigrated here and were working properly and legally as resident aliens (like my grandfather did 125 years ago, while they worked and did the necessary things to become naturalized citizens, which they did in short order.

Now some would say that if they had had Vivek (who was born in Ohio) a few months later and he had been born after their full naturalization process he would be more legally under their understanding of the qualifications. I don't think that would be true for you.

“RE: A Hindu telling you God is real is meaningless.

Does a Hindu believe in God or not?”

If there is truly only one God, then that God is the God of Hindus as well as everyone else. Only the concept differs.

[OftheOhio]

I didn’t equate chit, You’re the one pontificating, lol.

[OftheOhio]

Another operative, wow. I must have some special talent, lol.

[Reno89519]

He is an anchor baby, regardless of the details. He is Indian. Not American, not Republican. A traitor in our midst. I will never vote for him, if it appeared he would win, I’d even go so far as vote for a Democrat to ensure that he didn’t win.

[KC Burke]

That was my impression.

RE: You’re the one pontificating, lol.

And you’re not pontificating? I’m trying to laugh but I don’t find your remarks and accusations funny at all.

[OftheOhio]

I’m with you. May Trump realize this guy is toxic for his hopes for the presidency.

“At 19, he had made more money than my friends, me, and our fathers made in our entire lives. Silver spoon, yea, get some. F’n fools.”

I have watched many former top 100 American companies get .Indian CEOs.

Most of them have increased their value quite a lot. of course they have also replaced most native workers with h1b holders.

I remember reading some book about the rise and fall of empires and how the barbarian hordes overran something while the leader was confused.

I know and respect many of their best and brightest, at least in the IT sector.

If Viv gets elected there will be a lot of .Indian nepotism in the govt, and most of them will be hard left.

Then you will end up with a lot of this.

Bkmk

[OftheOhio]

That’s how operatives always respond, lol. Keep digging that hole, leftist.

RE: He is Indian. Not American, not Republican.

1) He is an American of INDIAN ancetry, just like Americans of European ancestry ( e.g. Kennedy was Irish, Trump was Scottish, etc. )

2) He is an American Citizen

3) He is a registered Republican.

RE: A traitor in our midst. I will never vote for him

What has he shown for you to accuse him of being a traitor other than receiving a scholarship to study law from the Paul and aisy Soros foundation? Receiving a scholarship equates to being a traitor now?

RE: I’d even go so far as vote for a Democrat to ensure that he didn’t win

OK. you’d vote for the sellout to Russia, China and Ukraine Joe Biden then. Tells me a lot right there.

[SeekAndFind]

RE: That’s how operatives always respond, lol. Keep digging that hole, leftist.

Oh, and you claim to be an expert in leftist ideology right now huh? Someone disagrees with you, therefore,he is a leftist. That’s your reasoning? Pathetic. Yeah dig your hole.

[SeekAndFind]

RE: If Viv gets elected there will be a lot of .Indian nepotism in the govt, and most of them will be hard left.

What makes you so sure of that?

Just because he’s of Indian ancestry does not necessarily mean that he’d fill his cabinet with Indians ( regardless of their competence and qualifications ).

[Reno89519]

Frame it however you want, he is not a natural born citizen, if you took the time to read about his background, his positions, his say anything behavior, I doubt you could really honestly support him either. And I take my point so seriously I’d vote for a Democrat if that’s what it took to keep him out of office.

[SeekAndFind]

RE: I must have some special talent, lol.

Your special talent is in patting yourself on tha back for something that isn’t even worth patting.

[SeekAndFind]

RE: Frame it however you want, he is not a natural born citizen

Again, I ask you — HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT? I keep reading this accusation but no one has ever shown me a reliable source.

RE: citizen, if you took the time to read about his background, his positions, his say anything behavior, I doubt you could really honestly support him either.

You sent me one link and it was about Taiwan vs China. I took time to read it. On this one issue, my response was in Post #53. I am waiting for you to respond to that post.

If you have any other positions of his that concern you, please share it on this thread. I am open minded enough to consider them.

RE: I’d vote for a Democrat if that’s what it took to keep him out of office.

Uh huh, you’re prefer the senile sellout to China, Russiaand Ukraine, the baby killing, gun grabbing, Octogenarian. We part ways here.

“How is Ramaswamy equivalent to Bill Barr?”

I responded to the statement that snake oil salesman say what we want to hear.

Bill Barr said what we want to hear.

I said not a word about Vivek Ramaswamy.

Bill Barr was in the news today, saying Trump should be given house arrest and not allowed to campaign.

Bill Barr is a snake.

I have no clue about Vivek Ramaswamy.
