In the aftermath of September 11, 2001: some thoughts for leftists and terrorists
to consider. . .


As evidenced here in this group and elsewhere, leftists (liberals) in the U.S.A., before
and during this election cycle, have been having a field day bashing this great country
and her leaders. They say the war against Islamic fascist terrorists is immoral. They
label our government and soldiers immoral and accuse them of being mercenaries,
rapists, torturers, genocidal, imperialistic and irrational. The basis of this slander is
their own immorality. Let me explain why . . .

Whatever may be open to disagreement, there is one act of evil that may not, the act
that no man may commit against others and no man may sanction or forgive. So long
as men desire to live together, no man may initiate - do you hear me? no man may
start the use of physical force against others.

Too interpose the threat of physical destruction between a man and his perception
is to negate and paralyze his means of survival; to force him to act against his own
judgment, is like forcing him to act against his own sight. Whoever, to whatever
purpose or extent, initiates the use of force, is a killer acting on the premise of death
in a manner wider than murder: the premise of destroying man's capacity to live.

Do not open your mouth to tell me that your mind has convinced you of your right to
force my mind. Force and mind are opposites; morality ends where the gun begins.
When you declare that men are irrational animals and propose to treat them as such,
you define thereby your own character and can no longer claim the sanction of
reason - as no advocate of contradiction can claim it. There can be no "right" to
destroy the source of rights, the only means of judging right and wrong: the mind.

To force a man to drop his own mind and to accept your will as a substitute, with a
gun or bomb in place of a syllogism, with terror in place of proof, and death as the
final argument - is to attempt to exist in defiance of reality.

Be it a highwayman who confronts a traveler with the ultimatum: "Your money or
your life," or a politician who confronts a country with the ultimatum: "Your children's
education or your life," the meaning of the ultimatum is: "Your mind or your life" - and
neither is possible to man without the other.

If there are degrees of evil, it is hard to say who is the more contemptible: the
brute who assumes the right to force the mind of others or the moral degenerate
who grants to others the right to force his mind. That is the moral absolute one does
not leave open to debate. And this is where leftists join with absolute evil because
they do not fight the forcing of the mind.

I do not grant the terms of reason to men who propose to deprive me of reason. I do
not enter discussions with neighbors who think they can forbid me to think. I do not
place my moral sanction upon a murderer's wish to kill me. When a man attempts to
deal with me by force, - I answer him with force.

It is only as retaliation that force may be used and only against the man who starts
its use. No, I do not share his evil or sink to his concept of morality: I merely grant
him his choice, destruction - the only destruction he has a right to chose: his own.
He uses force to seize a value; I use it only to destroy destruction. A holdup man
seeks to gain wealth by killing me; I do not grow richer by killing a holdup man. I
seek no value by means of evil, nor do I surrender my values to evil.

This is how conservatives think. This is the very core of conservative philosophy.
This is how they think and this is how they attempt to live their lives. This is why
conservatives fight the good fight. Is this evil in your minds? If so you are a leftist.
You don't see evil because you embrace evil, you embody evil, you perpetuate it.
This is why leftists want conservatives dead. This is the reason behind the 9-11
attacks. This is the Islamic fascist terrorist creed. You leftists and liberals who
surrender your minds to such as these are dead already as far as conservatives
are concerned. We ask only that you not reach out of your graves and drag us
down with you.

Note: Thanks to Ayn Rand for much of the above. If you liked what you just
read, may I suggest you read "Atlas Shrugged." You are the people this world
must count upon in order that the mind survive. . .
