20 Questions You’re Not Supposed To Ask In America Today
Townhall ^ | 05/30/2015 | John Hawkins

Posted on 06/01/2015 9:37:19 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

1) If Islam is really a religion of peace, as opposed to a particularly violent religion, then why do so many people and organizations across the world refuse to show Muhammad cartoons out of fear that they'll be murdered by devout Muslims for doing it?

2) If illegal immigrants are supposed to help our economy, then why weren’t they helping the economies of the poor nations they fled?

3) Given that Hillary Clinton’s nearly accomplishment-free political career has been based on riding the coattails of a serial adulterer who has humiliated and cheated on her over and over, isn’t Hillary Clinton a terrible role model for young women?

4) If Barack Obama can directly contradict the laws on the books by refusing to deport millions of illegal aliens because of “prosecutorial discretion,” couldn’t a Republican President use the same precedent and refuse to prosecute people who don’t pay a capital gains tax or who violate EPA rules?

5) Wouldn’t it be just as stupid to send teenage Boy Scouts into the woods alone with gay men as it would to send teenage Girl Scouts into the woods alone with heterosexual men?

6) If Nazis (National Socialist German Workers' Party) were supposed to be Right Wing, then why did they proclaim themselves to be enemies of capitalism, implement socialist policies and call themselves socialists?

7) Why should we take the threat of climate change seriously enough to cut back our lifestyles when even Al Gore, the foremost promoter of global warming hysteria, lives in a mansion, flies on private jets and rides around in SUVs?

8) What’s the difference between say, the KKK and the NAACP, LA Raza, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, the New Black Panthers and the Nation of Islam other than the color of their skin, the skin color of the people they hate and their level of societal acceptance?

9) If we’re not willing to ask middle class Americans to at least pay in taxes what services provided to them from the government cost, then isn’t it time to start paring back the services the government offers until we get to a level of government that everyone but the poor is willing and able to pay for?

10) If transsexuals are just mentally ill and need treatment, not trapped in the wrong body, then isn’t encouraging them to mutilate themselves via surgery instead of getting psychological treatment extremely harmful to them?

11) If ISIS (Islamic State in Iraq and Syria) has nothing to do with Islam, then why does it have "Islamic" in its name?

12) Since women are now 33% more likely to earn college degrees than men, is it time to radically shift our education system in the name of equality so as to better educate men?

13) If cites like Detroit and Baltimore have been run by liberals for decades, then aren’t Democrats fully responsible for the problems those cities have?

14) Isn’t it racist to argue that black Americans are so uniquely stupid and incompetent that they can’t even manage to get a government ID to vote? 15) If a man works more hours than a woman, takes off less time to be with his children and does more unpleasant, difficult jobs, shouldn’t he make more money than she does?

16) Isn’t a media personality ­­ with a platform that gets him out to large numbers of people ­­ who falsely accuses someone of racism doing much more damage to society and promoting more hatred than some hick or frat boy who hates black people because of the color of their skin?

17) If Barack Obama can make large changes to Obamacare without the approval of Congress, then couldn’t a Republican President use the same precedent to gut Obamacare regardless of what Congress has to say about it?

18) If gay marriage is a violation of the "equal protection" clause of the Constitution, how did that "right" lie undiscovered since 1868, a span of almost 150 years?

19) If gun­free zones are effective and border fences are ineffective, why is the border of the White House surrounded by a huge fence guarded by lots of Secret Service agents with guns?

20) If black Americans commit 49.3% of all murders and account for 51.5% of all violent crime among juveniles, yet there are almost two white Americans killed by the police for every black American (2,151 vs. 1130 over 12 years), then aren’t black Americans actually less likely to be killed by police than you’d expect given the crime statistics?

There are follow up questions also.

For example on #1, sometimes liberals say that we don’t want to show Mohammed cartoons because we want to show respect for people’s religious beliefs. Yet these same liberals don’t give a damn at how patently offensive Piss Christ is to Christians.

So my follow up question would be, why is it OK to have Piss Christ and offend Christians, but not OK to show Mohammed cartoons and offend Muslims???

5) Wouldn’t it be just as stupid to send teenage Boy Scouts into the woods alone with gay men as it would to send teenage Girl Scouts into the woods alone with heterosexual men?

Because gay men are noble, gifted and brave, and white heterosexual men are trash?

Maybe a better question: When did global warming begin?

Excellent. A true liberal can’t ask those questions. They are fully aware of the contradictory nature of their beliefs but have no problem holding contradictory thoughts in their minds.

Some pea brained leftist was singing the praises of Jenner's actions.

I pointed out that we have a very sick society that encourages surgical mutilation of mentally ill people. She blasted everyone in my family back to Adam with rather vulgar invectives. Crushed my self esteem /ha ha

Good questions all. Things got to change in this land or—in short order we will be living in an insain world and we can get nothing done. Its like the Ancient Byzantines fighting and killing each other about if Christ used two fingers or three in his blessing. All of these questions can be answered—and answered in a simple way. I remember Ronald Reagan saying: “All questions have simple answers, its just that its the answers we do not wish to hear.”

“Excellent. A true liberal can’t ask those questions. They are fully aware of the contradictory nature of their beliefs but have no problem holding contradictory thoughts in their minds.”

Well said and very true. More proof the liberal mind has a mental disease.

How much have you got? How much are you ever able to earn in your life? Multiply that be the number of people in the 'First World', then double it. THAT is the cost to fix glow-ball warming. Of course the figure is doubled to ensure that the apparatchiks of the NWO, people like algore and Geo. Soros are exempt from such taxation and, in fact, earn a great deal for discovering the problem and ensuring a cure. We need to stand in awe of their abilities and bow and grovel to the elites!

“When did global warming begin?”

Any leftist knows the answer to that question: July 4, 1776.

Would love to see a liberal answer this one...
