Socialist Children

Following the recent elections in France, where the labor party lost big, we have seen the Socialist Children throwing a tantrum because they didn't get what they wanted. These Socialist Children, those that want the Government to take care of them, still do not understand that Governments only have money when they (Governments) can take it away from productive citizens. It's disturbing that the Socialist Children feel it's alright to destroy the private property of others while complaining about the outcome of a legal election. Maybe it's not so unusual, since they think they have a claim on the tax monies of others to use for their benefit, why not shops and cars as well. This election is a turning point for France and it can only mean good news for us here in the United States. Another failed Socialist system is crumbling, individual responsibility and liberty are soon to follow. Now if we can just get our own leaders to realize that Socialism, regardless of how you dress it up or how often you say it's "for the good of the children", is not in America's best interest. Individual responsibility and liberty are what make a country strong.

Loving Life

“Loving Life – The morality of self-interest and the facts that support it.” by Craig Biddle

This is an excellent book that includes such chapters as “Religion Versus Subjectivism: Why neither will do,” “Objective Moral Values: Basic human needs” and “Objective Moral Virtues: Principled actions.” Easy to read and re-reference over and over. Highly recommended!

From Chapter 8 – Concluding Summary – What we now know.

Morality is not subjective, but objective; it is not created by the human mind, but discovered by it. Just as truth is discovered by reference to evidence and the principle of non-contradiction, so morality is discovered by reference to the requirements of human life and the principle of non-sacrifice. While a person or group might have faith or feel that drinking Drano is “good” or that dishonesty “pays” or that human sacrifice is “the way to go,” neither faith nor feelings – individually or collectively – can change the nature of reality or the factual requirements of human life and happiness.

If your bookstore does not have it on their shelves, ask them to order it for you. It's well worth the wait.
