Ayn Rand wrote and spoke extensively on the welfare-statism of the Kennedy and Johnson administrations. On the 50th anniversary of the day that John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson each were President, I present this passage by Ayn Rand, from the speech “How Not to Fight Against Socialized Medicine,” published in The Objectivist Newsletter, […]
The need for sex does not justify rape. Similarly, the need for food, shelter, clothing, and health care does not justify the welfare state. It’s as simple as that. In civilized society, intercourse is by mutual consent, not compulsion. Tragically for America, Barack Obama—along with the half of the nation that supports him—systematically evades this […]
In my previous post, I argued that Americans Absolutely Need to Own Advanced Firearms. The people who want to take away our guns are the people who have caused high crime in the first place, through their New Leftist ideas: anti-reality, anti-free will, anti-reason, anti-moral absolutes, anti-individual, anti-capitalism, anti-West, anti-America, anti-human. Moreover, the New Left […]
The U.S. government does not trust every American soldier to possess nuclear weapons. Likewise, the U.S. government should not trust private citizens to possess nuclear weapons. But the U.S. government does trust more than a million American soldiers to possess advanced firearms. Likewise, the U.S. government should trust private citizens to possess such firearms. If […]
Promise to treat President Romney like a Democrat. On October 19, Rasmussen Reports stated, Among those who Somewhat Disapprove of Obama’s performance, Romney gets just 68% of the vote. Kerry got 80% support from those who Somewhat Disapproved of Bush. This may suggest that some who are disappointed by Obama’s performance remain unconvinced that the […]
In substance, the second Presidential debate was like the first: The choice was between an inept ignoramus with a lousy record as tyrant vs. a knowledgeable, extremely able executive whose lousy record as tyrant still lies in the future. Romney spoke first and again sounded like a left-wing Democrat, bragging about how he expanded free […]
Imagine not being able to beat Romney in a political debate. In the first Presidential debate of 2012, Romney humiliated Obama by going as far Left as Obama dared go before a national audience. Consequently, there was no choice for voters regarding ideology; the choice was limited to a question of competency. The choice was […]
(This post was revised on September 7, 2012.) In his speech last night at the Democratic National Convention, President Clinton repeatedly called for compromise and cooperation. Regarding the economy, compromise and cooperation are good when Democrats do it, because the Democrats are wrong. The best thing about Clinton’s presidency was that he did not merely […]
“I am the lesser of two evils.” And if Romney said the following, I would even campaign for him. I know I’m not a real Republican. Well, I am a real Republican; what I mean is that I am not a real defender of freedom. I don’t have any political ideas; I just try to […]
Government makes ‘investments’ in us that we can’t refuse. (The title was changed on 7/26/2012 from “Policies of Obama Match his Socialist Rhetoric.”) Many, including me, have identified the socialist premises in President Obama’s remarks on July 13 in Roanoke, VA. But are Obama’s actual policies as socialist as his socialist rhetoric? The answer is […]
