Time to expose these rightwing myths built up since the Reagan days which just are not true:

- Lowering taxes is the key to a sound economy (Clinton raised them and gave us a much better more sustainable economy)
- Republicans spend less than Democrats (not anymore)
- Government programs are inefficient beaurocracies (privatizing is much worse, opening up the floodgates for profiteering, lobbyists running things, gross corruption and raping of the public wealth)
- Cutting pollution costs jobs (just the opposite especially in the long run)
- Bush is strong on counter-terrorism (his record stinks to holy hell)
- Reagan defeated the Soviet Union (just not true at all)
- Democrats are weak on defense (we were actually much safer under Clinton than Bush. Now all bets are off and our military is bogged down and decimated)
- Those who protest wars are not patriotic (depends which war, Vietnam and Iraq are both disasterous boondoggles which were based on packs of lies, both civil war quagmires, and the Contra war was also needless, illegal and corrupt)
- Liberals want more social programs so they are closer to the Soviets than conservatives. (Actually the USSR quickly turned into the opposite of what liberals stand for, a police state).
- The media is liberal (many are but Fox News is #1 and the only truly biased major network or news service in the country, and the rightwing dominates 95% of radio because they bought it, not because they earned it.)
