Talking Points

ACWT Talking Points

In my book, and in my talks around the country, I always mention the need to “speak up for America!”…and I’m so heartened by how many in the audiences want to!! But then I so often hear a hesitancy born of modesty—“I’m just not sure enough of my knowledge on the issues”…followed by a request: “could you give me some simple ‘talking points’ that I might be able to use the next time I find myself in one of those conversations?” That’s what this “Talking Points” section of my website is all about.

 

I give you my assurance that every point made is backed up by my honest and good faith research into sources I consider trustworthy. And they are always anchored in a belief in the rightness of American ideals for all Americans:

Think…enjoy…and speak up for America!

KEY ISSUES

The PC narrative: abortion is a matter of women’s ‘reproductive rights’, of freedom of choice and independence; of countering the war on women. There is no war on women in America; this left-wing creation from the 2012 election cycle is a myth. In matters of health, education, and professional opportunity, there is no better......

The PC narrative: the 14th Amendment to the Constitution settles the question in favor of ‘birthright citizenship’ (a/k/a anchor babies). America must agree that all babies born within our borders to non-citizen parents who entered expressly for the purpose of giving birth in America, are instantly citizens. The US Supreme Court has never ruled......

The PC narrative: People clamoring for border security are so bigoted! They are mostly just prejudiced against people from other countries or ethnicities…border security is not a big problem. Every country needs to know who is in its borders, to keep order and security. If we have no border, we have no country: we......

The PC narrative:  Climate change is real; it is caused by man; it is the gravest threat to the entire planet; it can only be stopped by man….and if even if the alarmists are all wrong, we can’t afford to ignore them because there is a chance that they might......

The PC narrative: Fresh thinking; a bold initiative; no downside. Talking truth in America and about America:   President Obama’s December 2014 announcement that the US would restore diplomatic ties with Cuba, the tiny Communist island nation 94 miles off the Florida coast, reversed a 50-year old policy. That policy......

The PC narrative: Too much violence in America; too many guns! Talking truth in America and about America:   The Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution expressly says that the “the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.” The United States Supreme Court held......

The PC narrative: No big deal; just a partisan political attack about trifles. Talking truth in America and about America:   The US Secretary of State necessarily has constant access to and use of the nation’s top secret defense and security information; if this information wasn’t transmitted via Hillary Clinton’s......

The PC narrative: America Is So Full Of Intolerant, Bigoted And Ignorant People Who Are Irrationally Suspicious Of All Muslims In America, And Thank Goodness President Obama Is Leading The Way With An Approving Message To Ahmed Mohamed And A Rebuke To Intolerant American Public School Officials. Talking truth in America and about America: ......

The PC narrative: Can’t defeat this ‘idea’; can only contain it and educate it away from its current behavior. ISIS Beheads men, women and children. Drowns prisoners in submerged cages. Burns prisoners to death. Throws blindfolded homosexuals off multistory buildings to kill them. Buys and sells women as sex slaves. What are......

The PC narrative: Islam is a religion of peace; in America all are guaranteed the free exercise of religion. Talking truth in America and about America:   There is a difference between Muslims as human beings, and Islam as  theology and a body of teaching. Individual Muslims vary widely in their......

The PC narrative: America has a huge economy, taxes on the rich can always be raised to pay down debt; it doesn’t matter what the US national debt is. Economies are sustained on millions of daily transactions, which depend on the rule of law, which in turn depends on transparency and integrity and truth,......

The PC narrative: Women, compared to men, are paid 77 cents on the dollar! Government action, new laws and more regulations, must correct this pay discrepancy between men and women. The claim that women are paid 77 cents on the dollar for the same work done by men is flat out false; a complete......

The PC narrative: Gays should be able to marry like anyone else; any opposition is just hate and bigotry and ignorance. Talking truth in America and about America: Marriage long predates the formation of the USA. Its central purpose is to be an institution recognized society-wide as a voluntary bond between one......

The PC narrative: If 97% of scientists agree on something, that’s a ‘consensus’ that settles debate as to whether they are right. And 97% of climate scientists say man is causing global warming. So stop debating whether these scientists are right, and stop debating whether we must do something! Shut up and fall in......

The PC narrative: Best deal the US could get; the alternative is war. Talking truth in America and about America:   The alternative to a bad deal is not war; it is a better deal. And it may be that some day war, or supporting Israel if they choose to......

The PC narrative: Have a heart! These are a small number of desperate people; why shouldn’t we support the efforts of the UN to care for them and give them a place to be safe? The UN refugee program is not small; since implemented in 1975, over three million refugees have entered the US,......
