“The truth is that family values, as used by the American Family Association, Dan Quayle, and the southern Baptists, has nothing to do with either family or values, nor does it really have anything to do with homosexuals, abortionists, or pornographers. Those groups actually only serve as windmills to tilt at. The true agenda is power - power over the intellectually weak, emotionally immature, and ethically deficient Americans who are incapable of critical thinking and independent decision-making, and who are easily manipulated by the basest of human emotions - fear and the desire for revenge.” ThinkingHumansDoeUsedDesireValuesDecisionEmotionGroupsAtheismTruth IsWeakIndependentCriticalPositive AtheismRevengeAgendasDecision MakingSouthernAssociationIncapableHomosexualCritical ThinkingBaptistsImmatureFamily ValuesHuman EmotionsAmerican FamilyTiltWindmillsSouthern Baptist Author:Morris Sullivan
“I prefer an income tax, but the truth is I am afraid of the discussion which will follow and the criticism which will ensue if there is an other division in the Supreme Court on the subject of the income tax. Nothing has injured the prestige of the Supreme Court more than that last decision, and I think that many of the most violent advocates of the income tax will be glad of the substitution in their hearts for the same reasons. I am going to push the Constitutional amendment, which will admit an income tax without questions, but I am afraid of it without such an amendment.” IfsThinkingHeartReasonLastsDecisionSubjectsTruth IsTaxesCriticismCourtGladSupremeViolentIncomeDiscussionDivisionAmendmentsSupreme CourtInjuredIncome TaxPrestigeSubstitutionConstitutional Amendments Author:William Howard Taft

“Being aware of truths about what is good or right or about what we ought to do is not the same as deciding what to do. Nor can the former truths be derived from decisions about what to do, or about procedures for making such decisions, unless these procedures themselves rest in some way on the apprehension of truths about what we ought to do.” WayDecisionOughtTruth IsFormerProceduresApprehensionDeciding What To Do Author:Allen W.

“There isn't going to be anyone to tell you what to do most of the time. It has to be your own decision and you have to learn to trust that, or learn that it's wrong.

“Americans live in a free country, which allows you to believe what you want. Because you think that something is true does not require that it is objectively true. The value of science concerning itself with objective truths is that we can make decisions and statements that affect everyone, which is why legislation really should be based on objective truths, not what is going on in your head.” ThinkingBelieveCountryValuesDecisionTruth Is Author:Neil deGrasse Tyson
“The truth is that we have long had a multi-track Europe with very different objectives. The traditional differences between the north and the south in fiscal and economic policy are far less problematic than those that exist between Eastern and Western Europe. In the south and east, China is steadily gaining more influence, such that a few EU member states no longer dare to make decisions that run counter to Chinese interests. You see it everywhere: China is the only country in the world that has a real geopolitical strategy.” WorldLongDifferentRealCountryRunningInterestDecisionInfluenceEconomicPolicyTruth IsStrategyWesternDareChineseEastern Author:Sigmar Gabriel
