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!

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)

George,

Dog Fighting is barbaric but it should not be illegal. Its an example of yet another Victimless crime law. If you arguing that the government has the right to criminalize dog fighting, you are wrong. Yes, you can morally condemn Vick, but he should not serve one second of jail time. Here is an Objectivist who deals with the subject correctly:

Quite the knee slapper you've presented there. The government can make spitting on the sidewalk illegal.

"Quite the knee slapper you've presented there. The government can make spitting on the sidewalk illegal."

I was talking about a proper, moral government not what we have today. Today, the government routinely violates rights. But a legitimate government would only exist to protect individual rights. Criminalizing dog fighting would not fall under protecting individual rights of humans no matter how barbaric the activity may be.

Oh and the only knee slapper here is your inability to read.

So much ignorance and separation at the hearts of our general population today.. looking forward to change.
