  1. quote These post cause my heart to palpitate. It saddens me so much to hear so many references to to words like "evil" "enemy" and the most discusting of all "felicitous disaster." Ayn Rand put it that nothing was more important to an individual than their own life and that should be understood. It implys that if you respect the need for you to watch out for yourself alone you would likewise understand that everybody elses life is as important to them as yours is to you. That then should translate into a great appreciation for life...everyones. quote] May I remind you that the United States and her allies are at war. This war was started by a cabal of greasy hoodlums who insist al Quar'an is the word of god. Al Qur'an is said, with cogent documentation, to have been inspired if not authored by Mohammed. He, as I stated in another post, was a mass-murderer and child molesting serial rapist. Pray consider this: The 100, 000 Islamic Indonesian tsunami dead are that many fewer of those eager to perpetrate enormities resembling the butchery of the unarmed Jersey Copts. Moreover, that means when the time comes -and I think it inevitable-the Coalition will require a fewer nuclear devices. If that doesn't work for you: As a charter member of the 'ignorant oafs' I think it accurate to say that our compassion for the tsunami victims is coterminous with that of John Galt and Ellis Wyatt for those mind-haters who perished in the Taggart tunnel catastrophe. Have a nice war.
  2. [quote Indonesia is not a dire and threatening enemy - anti-americanism is one thing but thats quite another. I should be interested to hear what the aforementioned and others think of the massive corporate response to the Tsunami disasters. [ Indonesia is most certainly a 'dire' threat to America just as any other malodourous Moslem vipers' nest. If any misguided corporation undertakes to heal the enemy's wounds instead of exploiting them-that's their funeral. You, like these charitable-no, suicidal-businessmen seem to be unaware that altruism is the root of all civilisational evil.
  3. Religion as a way of life, as history has demonstrated, is universally pathetic. If not for rational Greek thought conquering 'religion' you wouldn't have a computer let alone the opinions to type into that computer. There may be an excuse for religion but never a reason.
  4. There's something wrong with your conclusions. First, the notion that 'utter destruction' of a social system devised by a mystically inclined mass-murderer and serial rapist child molestor [i.e. Mohammed d. c.e. 632] isn't moral is untenable. Second, any homey, schmo, paisan, greeek, or fellah can write a book; any 'advances'-e.g.: plane trigonometry imputed to Islamic 'society' are not attributable to 'Islamic' anything; these apocryphally documented achievements belong to the foreign hellenistic civilisation that enriched smarter than average Caliphs. Their legacy was incinerated by al-Ghazali (Acqinas's moslem antipode) c. 1095. Averring that a kindlier, gentler interpretation of al-Qur'an would be a salutary adjunct to Western Civilisation is more dangerously silly than hallucinating Mein Kampf is logical.
  5. I've long advocated the exact tactic. For instance. the United States' should consider the feasibility of targeting Damascus with a-say-nuclear device a quarter strength of the Nagasaki weapon? Consider the Mercedes driving Bathist elite barbequed. Remember, however: Israel, American military and Arab non-moslems are nearby. This isn't as easily discussed as seems. To prepare my argument-the salvation of Coalition forces victory and well-being-I search engined numerous websites looking for nuclear weapon theory. So far, all I'm able to unearth are the same ol' Cold War eschatology. What's needed are uncannily precise low contamination nuclear ordnance. Are such possible? Are there any sources out there honestly reviewing this option?
  6. Christianity needn't die; Capitalism owns it. Capitalism encourages choices for all non-coercive entities.
  7. The death of Islam would be a healthy thing for everybody just as was the denazification of Germany.
  8. If Christians choose to remain faithful to their own rules that means they have an obligation to provide education and health care to everyone unable to pay for these services. Hypocrisy is the handmaiden of altruism.
  9. [First posted somewhere else September, 2004] NEWS ITEM: ISLAM AND ALL RELIGIONS FORBID VIOLENCE. This unfortunate article was penned by Shirin Ebadi, Iran's Nobel (REDFLAG) Peace Laureate. This dried up piece of third world baggage has the temerity to state, '...all religions forbid terrorism and violence...' Ask Mohammed (who, we are told, is still living in paradise) what he'd think of the foregoing and one wouldn't possess a head for long. Just to be balanced one can be certain that the Borgia Popes, Henry VIII, or Joshua would have reacted similarly. The gallant lady goes on to lament '...that certain Islamic governments are not prepared to accept an interpretation of Islam (based on the dreaded al Qur'an and Hadith)-parenthesis ours- that is compatible with democracy and human rights.' If Islam sanctioned democracy and individual rights there would be no more Islamic 'faith'. Mullas, imams, and ayotolahs aren't so blind that they can't see the infrared search lights illuminating their salubrious demise. Ebadi marches on to insist that, '...no country needs the atomic bomb...' What she means is that America should not maintain nuclear weapons while Iran needs one to obliterate Tel Aviv. She also blathers that the '...atrocities committed in Bosnia and Israel cannot be attributed to the Christian or Jewish faiths...' Ebadi is correct on her last point; members of the Jewish faith do not bomb pizzerias, discos, and and commuter busses. One would do well to consult al-Qur'an. Sura 47, verse 36, wherein allah ranks the merits of human life and achievement that eschew mystic brutality, 'Verily the life of this world is no more than sport and frivolity. If you believe in Allah,...' 911 was a poignant display of Moslem sport and frivolity. This is an archetypal page from the Moslem playbook. If one is just, according to Islam, the mass murder of non-combatants is not a bad thing. When one deals with Islam he's playing with a malignant, criminal, pathology that trivialises human life.
  10. The Christian Churches of America would do well to follow Jesus Christ and assume the financial burden of 'universal' health care. How often is one treated at a hospital displaying a religious moniker? Since Christians understandably complain about declining educational and therefore moral standards, they should insist that their leadership pay (that's right,cash) for K through college graduation. Consider the establishment institutes for higher education founded by Christian groups. These corporations cultivate immense incomes. Why can't they distribute such fish dinners to distressed pupils vegetating in the fifth form? Simple. The federal government nurtures this time bomb. And when it detonates the church will be damned before it stops its luxury automobile to assist the indigent 'faithful'.
  11. Though many enthusiasts of Objectivism may trace their epistemological 'roots' to 'conservatism' there are crucial distinctions. First, conservatism is an altruistic construct claiming its moral authority is supernaturally derived. Second, this suggests a deterministic universe which is ultimately governed by a 'consciousness'. Objectivism, conversely, demonstrates that a is a; what man perceives with his senses exists in nature apart from any perceiver or imagined 'creator'.
  12. I'm very far from mastering the system here. I can't even figure out what a 'thread' is. Guess that accounts for drdriveby being outgunned in Zoso's traffic jam. It was, however, fun. The 'previous reply' is located somewhere in Free Capitalist's -Peterson trial mess. Thanks for your interest!
  13. Thank you for this delightful response. We work very hard to disabuse 'world opinion'. And your reply welcomely includes things even we neglected to explicate.
  14. Any suggestion that America has a ‘moral obligation’ to assist third world pig sties in the wake of their tsunami ordeal is grotesquely appalling. Note the alacrity with which environmental kooks attack the West for its lack of 'compassion’ for not having donated the capital intensive technology which could have palliated this felicitous (yes, we mean it ) disaster. America, scream these half-naked brutes, must spare them from pestilence. If not for their stateside 'ecologically responsible’ advocates of social primitivism having helped savage DDT, this may have been feasible if not desirable. The United States is execrated for its putative 'stinginess’ for not quickly enough implementing the ingenuity which is the handmaiden of the specific cognitive methodology damned by these deservedly impotent savages’ beliefs. What of the vacationing Europeans? Who cares? Their idyllic sabbaticals were made possible by a predatory economic system whose ruling parasites conspire to devour the Capitalist abundance of America so they might extend their collectivist profligacy to festering 'nations’. Displaying more nerve than a brass-ass monkey, western Europeans arrogantly ignore America’s own sovereignty by risibly demanding they pay more taxes. For what? So the United States might kill themselves. After all, Indonesian Islam glorifies self-immolation, as the incendiary Buddhists in 1960’s Viet Nam did, as well as those imprudently lionised Hindu fakirs. Who does this America think she is to evade ineluctable suffering? Osama’s gonna teach her a lesson! The Bush administration, particularly in the Moslem Indonesian and Malaysian contexts, if they wish to maintain their ‘faith-based’ integrity, must take full military and economic advantage of this 'act of god’. drdriveby.com
  15. Consult The Virtue of Selfishness: Government Financing in a Free Society
  16. drdriveby.com Initially we concluded that this would solve everyone's problems. Upon closer examination we discovered that action on our part is superfluous; the Democrats have-since George McGovern's candidacy in 1972-been methodically deconstructing themselves. Democrats long to return to that golden age during which the leftist plutocracy and their ivory tower sycophants knew they were confusing the black community and purposefully misleading union thugs. This wanton charlatanism was deemed appropriate on the grounds that they dispensed precisely what these 'lesser minds' wanted to hear. This relationship worked well for two generations until, as inevitably redounds to liars, their elitist heirs have come to believe their own deceptions and capricious delusions. The left liberal plutocracy thus unwittingly split their minds and the minds of their credulous electorate. This was achieved by misidentifying time and confusing it with space. When this occurs abstract reasoning dissolves in the acids of unsubstantiated fly-by-night givens. They declare President Bush was wrong for invading Iraq and deposing Hussein because the dictator was not thought an 'imminent' threat to America. This fabrication could have stood on its own merits if they hadn't simultaneously insisted that the world immediately sabotage industrial technology for fear of the polar ice cap melting thus submerging Manhattan. Perhaps it's to do with cyclical weather trends? These unhygienic automata sincerely believe that what they-founded on questionable 'scientific opinion'-imagine as novel weather is attributable to industrialised activity. Note the left's haste to cripple technology in the name of rescuing Manhattan from its aqueous destiny while they counsel patience with the Islamic vermin who've already murdered three thousand innocents in one morning. If a warmer earth were indeed the result of industrialism why do Democrats find this undesirable? For the simple reason that such would prove the efficacy of individuals and the left has always been in the business of convincing the 'masses' that individual men are obtuse, weak, ineffectual, and would perish without government meddling. Pollution you see. Leftists cavil about corporate 'arrogance' and avarice. It is always big business, according to Democrats, that 'exploit' the middle and underclasses. These venal crusaders for the little people feed their victims visions of predatory CEO's wild in Alaska, rucksacks on their backs scooping loads of money as they dine on polar bear steaks sauteed with truffles stolen from France. They claim the wealth created by the genius and toil of these heroes of industrialised technology 'belongs to everyone'. The same 'progressives' are conveniently remiss concerning the wealth accrued by 'ordinary' folk such as engineers, welders, truck drivers, crane operators, chefs and their unskilled but well-paid cafeteria workers, barbers, paramedics, beauticians, accountants, construction workers, lawyers and their paralegals, file clerks, computer programmers, and janitors. Thus the union thug 'feels' justified when he denounces Bush for tax loop-holing 'their jobs' to other nations. The masochistic leftist plutocrat incrementally suggests America sort of deserved 911 because she mistreats lesser nations. For some odd reason leftists can never explain why America is so selfish and insensitive when Bush gave less developed nations a chance at all those cherished jobs. The jaded Democratic strategists have become so forgetful they still found their insidious economic policy on the identical premise promulgated by Herbert Hoover. This consisted of the puerile notion that consumption should be supported by artificially high wages in order to increase production. Just what union hoodlums enjoy hearing. Of course, this plot resulted in a dearth of jobs and the diminution of capital formation which, in conjunction with protectionist legislation, caused the Great Depression. Hoover, though nominally a Republican, would have admired the Clinton/Kerry axis.* Have you noticed, gentle reader, that the foregoing are a litany of self-cancellations? In this context the imbroglio over 'missing' weapons in Iraq is almost too good to be true. Almost. What goes around comes around. For nearly a century liberal politicians have patronised black America's fecklessness thereby perpetuating these victims' magical 'thinking'. As it turned out the weapons weren't missing and if they had been they would have constituted a mere thousandth of those destroyed. With the assistance of the United Nations' legedermain and elitist media credulity the Kerry campaign had improvised an ephemeral monstrosity which imploded before it had a chance to be forgotten. Unfortunately for the left voters forgot the monstrosity but remembered the implosion. As demonstrated above the liberal plutocracy and their attendant bootlickers now 'think', according to their own sophistries, like savages. See, we don't have to abolish them after all. *Salsman, R. The Intellectual Activist 2004
  17. Absolutely! It is never justifiable to assist mystic and therefore epistemologically bassackward 'societies' to their next suicide attempt. The 'will of god' is understandable to the ehtically corrupt but the sanctimonious insistence that America rescue our Islamic nemesis, Indonesia, is insufferable.
