7. Ideology must never trump truthfulness.
We Republicans need to constantly examine our own ideological principles to make sure they are, first and foremost, true. Then we must proclaim them boldly and straightforwardly.

Those two statements are of course, laughably opposed to each other. In the first, "Ideology must never trump truthfulness," they say something not only true but important: that people mustn't get so caught up in ideological thinking that they forget to face the facts.

In the second statement the writer goes crazy, first by "making sure" their ideological principles are true. (How exactly would one do that, pray tell? Ideologies are by their nature extremist and therefore not always applicable, relevant or true.) "Then we must proclaim then boldly"??? Anyone else seeing a gigantic (and ridiculous) leap in logic there?

First they put truth over ideology. Then they equate truth with ideology. And finally they proclaim that idiotic ideology loudly. Lather, rinse and repeat. The simple fact is that the GOP at least since McCarthy and Nixon, have been such foaming at the mouth ideologues that they have been incapable of facing the cold hard facts (that they have been on the wrong side of history ever since Lincoln and that it is getting increasingly more difficult for sentient humans of any political stripe to tolerate their nonsense).
