As stupid as I think the poster is (Obamacare is Romney's plan, after all), I literally don't know how else to portray a person as a witch doctor, with bones through the nose and extravagant markings like that. A witch doctor is to me a common way to imply bad medicine. I'd have to see more before concluding racist.
True. It's not racist. It's protest and outrage - against individual rights being violated. We need more of that, in industrial quantities. For more - read the works of Ayn Rand.

Agenda 21 is an United Nations based plan that gives capacity to local governments to do what they want to people's property. Just like nationalization, communism, theft, etc..
It is something we must fight.

Read and take inspiration from this girl's example to fight for a better city, nation and world. If a 14 year old heroine girl can do it, we all can do it. If her being shot outrages you, then you ought to do it:

I thought Paul Ryan fought hard, and Biden seemed overbearing and to be trying too hard to compensate for Obama's performance.

I thought Romney did pretty well - for Romney.
OMG = Obama Must Go.

The Russian Orthodox church calls on the Pussy Riot singers to repent.Ah, so merciful of a church that supports tyranny.
Good point. Well said.

The movie is quite good by Objectivist standards. The story - full of brilliant minds, and cool machines, and a love of machines, books and people of action, and heroism, and fighting bad guys. Just like the Ayn Rand fans should be. And the movie making - *superb*. Martin Scorsese did an *amazing job*. Acting is wonderful too.

If you have seen it, or read the book, chime in.
Again, this is not an Objectivist work; it is overwhelmingly good, but not "perfect" so let's focus on the good qualities here.

Those of who care for freedom and a safe America - get active. Where Reason ends, violence begins. And there is A LOT of non-Reason in America today.
Get active - the life you save could be your own - since we are all Ayn Rand fans.

Richard Kostelanetz writes:
Having published in 2003 a book about a NYC community
which I'd lived for three decades and knew well, I thought it
appropriate to write another book, not quite a sequel, about the
NYC community to which I once planned to move. If my SoHo
was about the rise and fall of an artists' colony in whose history
I fully participated, so this sequel would be about a decline that
preceded my participation in its revival as NYC's premier
beach town. As in its predecessor, I would combine objective
description and history with personal experience, establishing
complementary truths.
If my SoHo memoir portrayed how an art world developed
within NYC, but not quite of it, this book portrays a string of
Atlantic beach towns, a group different from others along the
East Coast in its incorporation into a great city. (Miami Beach,
recall, is legally separate from Miami.) I suppose that if the
development of NYC has proceeded differently over the past
two centuries, NY could have become not just a port city but
also a beach city, much like Rio de Janeiro, whose black and
white mosaic path between the street and the beach became a
popular promenade for everyone, even businessmen discussing
deals that are then consummated when someone pulls out some
paper or, nowadays, a laptop computer for recording details.
If the libertarian theme of the first book held that an
industrial slum was transformed not by any city planning but
the spontaneous collaboration of hundreds of young people
mostly artists who discovered that industrial spaces could be
occupied, the theme of my Rockaways is that the central city
undermined it in various ways after World War II. It is now
coming back thanks to small entrepreneurs.
I hope to show in conjunction with my talk to do
a PowerPoint presentation of historic images from the
Rockaways. It draws upon my Kindle ebook: " The
Rockaways: The Fall and Rise of NYC's Beach Towns:"

Ayn Rand's Message To The Tea Party:
Cool, right?
-
Seeing this thread inspired me to upload this snippet. I was leaning against doing it since it's so insubstantial, but starting from 10 through 20 seconds in you get a good soundbite. Back in 2009 who knows, it could have gone viral. Mix it with Santelli's rant plus I don't know what else and you might have something.
Holy moly! That's a wow. Ayn Rand and a Tea Party sound bite!
Agenda 21 - It's Collectivism Evil Out Of The United Nations.
in International Politics
Posted · Edited by Darrell Cody
The point is being missed by everyone but FeatherFall.
Just fight for individual rights, and fight anything that violates them! Sheesh! Didn't any of you read Anthem, about the world council and everything? The UN's Agenda 21 is a step, however big, or small or thematic in that direction. And that's always bad, really, really bad. *Glaringly obvious*.
Work with your local tea party to fight it: find it here: http://www.teapartypatriots.org/local/
