BRUSHFIRES OF FREEDOM: MICHAEL MEDVED DECLARES WAR ON--CHRISTOPHER HITCHENS

Formerly called Sixth Column.
America’s future requires a second revolution—but not before Americans are ready to do it right and do it completely. Our forebearers told us the “what”:

“The natural liberty of man is to be free from any superior power on Earth, and not to be under the will or legislative authority of man, but only to have the law of nature for his rule”; and “Among the natural rights of the colonists are these: First a right to life, secondly to liberty, and thirdly to property; together with the right to defend them in the best manner they can." (Sam Adams)

"I have sworn upon the alter of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.” (Jefferson)

A new light illuminating the future has given us the “why”: "Anyone who fights for the future lives in it today…man as a heroic being, with his own happiness as the moral purpose of his life, with productive achievement as his noblest activity, and reason as his only absolute." (Ayn Rand)
As for the “how,” “It does not take a majority to prevail…but rather an irate, tireless minority, who keep on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men.” (Samuel Adams)

MICHAEL MEDVED DECLARES WAR ON--CHRISTOPHER HITCHENS

It seems like a likely date for the beginning of the war was the day that Christopher Hitchens’ book, god is not great: How religion spoils everything (see our review) was published. The actual battling began 11 July 2007, when Christopher Hitchens gave two hours of his time to Michael Medved on the latter’s radio talk show. If there ever has been a war without end, this is it.

HUMAN POWER = IDEA POWER

Ideas power men. Men power cultures. Cultures power civilizations. Civilizations power history. Ideas are the fuel of man's mind.
It is not a question of whether man chooses to be guided by [philosophy]: he is not equipped to live without it. (Ayn Rand)
History is philosophy teaching by example (Lord Bolingbroke)
The trouble with nations is that there is an unequal distribution of capitalism. (Rush Limbaugh)
Shake off all the fears of servile prejudices, under which weak minds are servilely crouched. Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call on her tribunal for every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear. (Thomas Jefferson)

AMERICANS: STOP LIVING DEFENSIVELY!

JIHAD THIS, BABY!

So far, Muslims have their greatest victory over us by making us shift into defensive living with regard to them. We tread with fear of "offending" them, of inciting world-wide riots by Muslims against us, and of always trying to curry favor with irrationalists. We used to go about life, guided by our own thoughts and desires, and no defensiveness. It is our fault that we let them dominate our behavior. STOP IT! Americans do not live defensively! Let savages fear us!
