That is one individuals opinion that applies to one individual only. The comment may be stupid - questions rarely are. However there is an easy out. It's what everyone is doing or I heard it through the grapevine or the worst of all 'common knowledge is a a way of saying follow the crowd. The latter version is if nothing else...honest.

I have just finished reading Conqueror by Iggulden. In one part a 'civilized Sung Empire mandarin type is shocked to discover the least clean, educated and most barbaric Mongol had more dignity than the whole of his civilized educated nation. After the great Khan died it took them 200 more years and several leadrship changes to finish what the one had started. It never occurred to them to not finish the job or settle for any less. And on the 700th year they rested.

I have a small collection of Samurai movies. Lots of blood! Sometimes the past gets in the way of being a proper objectivist or for that matter church member but I find comfort and solace in the phrase Turn The other Cheek remembering no one ever admonished turn it more than once. From that I learned no one who has paid for the folly of my cheek turning once is around to entice a second turning. Therein lies a lesson of ensuring no names are left to be taken and objectively speaking there has been no complaints.

An example of objectivism applied to real life ....

We have three comments that aren't showing up again. However Freedom and Independence are the same thing same genre they govern how you turn your rights into actions but each and every right demands a corresponding responsibility. Which brings us to a major point of disagreement. Moochers are not responsible for their actions where Looters are or at least should be held responsible for their 'mooching' but where are the responsible citizens demanding their rights to ensure the moochers and looters are dealt with accordingly?

Fact is they are few and far between. having been replaced by 'enablers' who demand the right to take all of your rights but demand you still take responsibility for supporting the
moochers and looters.

Of the three moochers (minus the few who really are unable to produce for or care for thenselves), the looters and the enablers the last group are better called super moochers. Scum is another word.

The whole mantra for money as free speech is replete with their chant." I demand the right without explanation to take all of your rights without exception." One non existent made of whole cloth right in exchange for something like five constitutional rights never mind violating the bejayzus out of your individual and natural rights.

It's a quid pro quo argument where they demanded their quid but so far have failed to pro quo. No value received for value given.

Did the rights deprived citizens exercise their responsibility? No....too busy learning to be enablers apprentices.

You will here the enablers rail and rant about this and that but when it comes to anything important they are curiously silent.

Still it leaves us with something useful.

Rights equal responsibilities

Rights not protected mean irresponsibility.

Individual, Natural, or embodied in such a document as the Bill of Rights.

Dec 31st sllicked into a hidden corner of the year end funding bill under cover of the contrived to the wire last second vote which ended up 85 to 15 in the Senate was an expansion of the already in place usurption of civil rights and NO articles were written, no comments, no discussion.

Meanwhile and since then we have hosted countless really meaningless stupid discussions on 'rights by the 'where were you when it counted, enablers.

Still at a loss? Figures.

The ability to apprehend and detain without benefit of any civil rights whatsoever was up held and expanded in the fascist Patriot Act.

Probable Cause with back up suitable to get a legal warrant' replaced by mere 'suspicion of' with no warrant, no judge, no attorney appointed, no trial, no evidence and apparently no requirement for any records being kept. '

Verbally said to not apply to US Citizens but try to find that in writing.

And damn few of us said anything. This time they took the right without exception to take all of your rights without explanation.

Where was your precious dignity then?

Obama then went on TV and patted his back and his ass with a show of pride how he had put one over on your fricking dignity.

The old law said unspecified maybe taken into custody ' on suspicion of terrorism.

The new law added 'on suspicion of support of terrorism.'

The 100 mile from border and sea coast or navigable waters susupension of the Constitution not suspended or cancelled.

No definition of 'terrorism'
No definition of 'terrorist'
No requirement for 'civil rights added back into the mix."
No exclusion of US Citizens.

Now where's your precious dignity as you watched Barak Hussein Obama sneer at you with his real legacy.

Same place you let your precious constitutional rights go. Ignored and in the shitter.

That's an example of Radical Reasoning turned against them.

But it isn't untrue;.

Now who you going to vote for?

an out an out marxist-leninest?
an international socialist
a national socialist

Nice job America. Upper US!. You let them dictate the choices.

As for me. I objectively moved to free North America. No more infantry for this soldier. I'm watching from the sidelines.
