"Progressive community?"

I think I'm going to be ill.

Why become ill?

It's the Chinese Communists that are crumbling. They are becoming more and
more capitalistic everyday.

The entire earth is becoming freer with each passing year. Eastern Europe is
free. The Chinese have unprecendented freedom. People are leaving Russia
voluntarily in droves.

America is no longer the only country with great economic prosperity and
freedom, the world is catching up.

America was never an empire, but the ideals of justice and individual
liberty and economic freedom are spreading throughout the world.

Only a compleat and utter stooge would think that America was ever an
empire. Russia was an empire by force and it has failed. America wins
through superior ideas and leads by example. America is why the world is so
well off today. Americans are compassionate, generous and lovers of
individual liberty. Many Americans gave their lives so that other countries
could be free.

Leave it to the idiot liberals to wipe their behinds with the American flag
and to urinate upon the graves of those who fought for freedom. That is
their thanks, they are hypocritical ingrates.

No one can say it better than:

To America's Armed Forces
Sunday, February 2, 2003
By: Ayn Rand

The following extract is the conclusion of a speech on the importance of
philosophy that Ayn Rand gave at the United States Military Academy at West
Point in 1974.

In conclusion, allow me to speak in personal terms. This evening means a
great deal to me. I feel deeply honored by the opportunity to address you. I
can say--not as a patriotic bromide, but with the full knowledge of the
necessary metaphysical, epistemological, ethical, political and esthetic
roots--that the United States of America is the greatest, the noblest and,
in its original founding principles, the only moral country in the history
of the world. There is a kind of quiet radiance associated in my mind with
the name West Point--because you have preserved the spirit of those original
founding principles and you are their symbol. There were contradictions and
omissions in those principles, and there may be in yours--but I am speaking
of essentials. There may be individuals in your history who did not live up
to your highest standards--as there are in every institution--since no
institution and no social system can guarantee the automatic perfection of
all its members; this depends on an individual's free will. I am speaking of
your standards. You have preserved three qualities of character which were
typical at the time of America's birth, but are virtually nonexistent today;
earnestness--dedication--a sense of honor. Honor is self-esteem made visible
in action.

You have chosen to risk your lives for the defense of this country. I will
not insult you by saying that you are dedicated to selfless service--it is
not a virtue in my morality. In my morality, the defense of one's country
means that a man is personally unwilling to live as the conquered slave of
any enemy, foreign or domestic. This is an enormous virtue. Some of you may
not be consciously aware of it. I want to help you realize it.

The army of a free country has a great responsibility: the right to use
force, but not as an instrument of compulsion and brute conquest--as the
armies of other countries have done in their histories--only as an
instrument of a free nation's self-defense, which means: the defense of a
man's individual rights. The principle of using force only in retaliation
against those who initiate its use, is the principle of subordinating might
to right. The highest integrity and sense of honor are required for such a
task. No other army in the world has achieved it. You have.

West Point has given America a long line of heroes, known and unknown. You,
this year's graduates, have a glorious tradition to carry on--which I admire
profoundly, not because it is a tradition, but because it is glorious.

Since I came from a country [the USSR] guilty of the worst tyranny on earth,
I am particularly able to appreciate the meaning, the greatness and the
supreme value of that which you are defending. So, in my own name and in the
name of many people who think as I do, I want to say, to all the men of West
Point, past, present and futu Thank you.



God Bless America!

Because every clown in the world with an agenda claims to be representing
some "community" or other. It has to be the most hackneyed phrase
currently
in use in the English language. Nearly as ubiquitous as "I'm like."


You mean like the sockpuppet Ted? He's a pretty desperate guy, so I agree!

"Give back to the community"
"The community"
"The good of the community"

A ghost phrase if there ever was one.

Community and communism have a lot in common, especially in premise.

If enough people get together and force their will upon others the word
"gang" can be used interchangeably with "community".

All of the hogwash can be brushed aside by asserting there are no such
things as group or community rights. Without "rights" they can't do much
except march up and down the street with ill drawn placards.

Stand up for the smallest minority on earth --- the individual!

Great suggestion!

"I don't believe nor have I ever been told by family, friends, or strangers
that I "act different" from the rest of the population. I may be thinking
or seeing differently, but I guess I'm not showing it as John Rescigno
seems to be asserting.

I don't know if I'm altered, damaged, or if strange molecules are
circumnavigating my neural net, but I challenge anyone to tell from
my daily behavior." J. Ganz

Yu so funny! Make me laff long time!!
