What if someone in the media had the guts to question our moral code and the purveyors that blather platitudes centering around sacrifice and mysticism were called out for their treason to humanity? What if truth were more important than pandering to constituents and customers? What if the promoters of faith were denounced for the charlatans they are? Lets start at the beginning.

When you buy something in the anticipation that it will increase in value you are investing. What is this Pseudo-investing? Define your terms.

The issue of taxation is central to putting a stop to legalized robbery. The government should be operating as all other service providers, by voluntary contributions. Don't tell me that isn't possible when you see the campaign contributions flood in.

Mr. Sowell is following the government's deception about inflation reporting. Check out the Boswell commission and the "core index' method of reporting and you will find inflation is not only higher than the government is reporting but the nefarious means and motives for the book cooking are being ignored by the media to an unconscionable manner. This is why gold prices are rising. There are those who know the government is lying about inflation rates and acting accordingly.

As the ideas of Ayn Rand continue to be spread by personal contact and are now entering the media the frantic squalls of the politicians are becoming more and more deafening. Before Ayn Rand very few knew the motives and the psychology of the politicians and their ongoing drive for power disguised in "concern" for the common folk. That knowledge is now exposing the proponents of legalized thievery and the true nature of their "altruistic" goals.

Flaws? And I don't suppose you would be willing to name them. This is an underhanded comment that is meant to imply you have discovered something you don't want to expose but are willing to use as a smear tactic. How Hillary of you.

When one explains a philosophy it cannot be a "Yes we can" moment. The speech by John Galt is not only profound and enlightening but an artistic expression of the kind of response a rational hero would provide to a world drowning in platitudes and myths.

The spending that accelerated with George Bush and was shot into hyperspace by Obama has a common beginning that is chocking the American dream. That commonality is the foul stench of altruism. Sacrificing in the name of others has been a stalwart message by politicians who operate with this premise. How they reconcile individual rights is the problem they cannot resolve. Thus they sacrifice individual rights for a posture of "care taking" which is contradictory, expensive, wasteful and totally without merit. Their job is to protect individual rights, not violate them either by confiscation of wealth, redistribution of wealth or destruction of wealth.

This idea of cash for clunkers was debunked long before it was implemented but in true Washington fashion they ignored the challenge. Now they want civility so they can ramrod more idiotic notions through the legislative meat grinder. When they ignore logic and facts and history what is there to communicate to these fantasy freaks. Screaming at them won't work but tossing their butts out of office will be a message that even they can't ignore. Dump all incumbents.

Leaders who lean toward socialism aren't smart they are simply able to capture the misguided voters pipe dreams. They don't lead , they cajole and pander. They require a mandate because they think majorities trump truth. IF the nation doesn't get fed up in the four years of Obamaism it won't be long before comrade is the greeting of the day.
