This is John Galt Speaking Part #14

As it is nearing the end of the "This is John Galt Speaking" series, I encourage those who have followed the series to perhaps return to earlier segments and listen once again. Possibly rethink your first impressions as often there are points missed on the first go around.

This series is really based on the philosophy of Ayn Rand, and while instructive it can in no way do justice to Rands philosophy of Objectivism. For those who have appreciated the series I encourage you to further delve into Ayn Rand, her philosophy, and her works of non fiction as well as her fictional works.

The following three links will direct you sites that can provide more knowledge and insight into Ayn Rand and here work.

And now, "This is John Galt Speaking."

Scalise - Face of the GOP?...

Rational Nation USA Purveyor of Truth Is this what the party of Lincoln has turned into? WASHINGTON — Speaker John A. Boehner on Tuesday expressed “full confidence” in Representative Steve Scalise of Louisiana, the No. 3 Republican leader in the House, as he sought to quell a racially charged controversy shaking the party after Mr. Scalise confirmed that he had addressed a white supremacist group a dozen years ago. Mr. Boehner’s statement of support was his first public comment since the news broke on Monday night, a period filled with calls from some Republican and conservative commentators, as well as Democrats, for Republican leaders to shove Mr. Scalise from the leadership post. The flap roiled Republicans just as they were poised for a celebratory takeover of Congress when the new session opens next week. “More than a decade ago, Representative Scalise made an error in judgment, and he was right to acknowledge it was wrong and inappropriate,” Mr. Boehner said. “Like many...

Revisiting Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman’s' Presumption of Innocence until Proven Guilty......

Image
by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Liberty -vs- Tyranny Trayvon Martin,a 17 year old teenager entering young adulthood was shoot dead in Sanford Florida. This much we know with certainty. When the story first broke this classical liberal with libertarian leanings accepted, based on the early news reports, that George Zimmerman as guilty of a horrendous and unforgivable crime. However,as more information surfaced I began to question the veracity of the liberal contention that Zimmerman had in reality committed an act of first degree murder (my initial conclusion). Given time, and the proper reflection after new information (and opinions based on this information) surfaced it seemed, at least to this writer anyway, to step back and chill just a bit. This I have recently been able to accomplish. Absence my initial judgement (which was based solely on emotional determinations) I have been able to see things kn a more rational light. Which is to saw we must allow justice, wh...

Coming Together is a Two Way Street

Image
I am laughing my proverbial arse off. After spending a fair amount of time on left,  or perhaps they would prefer the tag progressive leaning  blogs, reading the constant belittling, name calling, insulting and often vulgar characterizations of almost  anything they disagree with, which of course is everything conservative , I am not surprised to learn of a Anti Tea Party movement. Before going any further however I must be fair and balanced. There are a few lefties whose views and opinions are deserving of consideration and I would be amongst the first to advise everyone, including conservatives, to do so. I shall not drop any names here but those of whom I am speaking of know who you are. And any conservative  whose mind is open enough to be challenged by smart lefties probably know who am speaking of as well. Another thing I have noticed about the left, or progressives is their tendency toward elitism and snobbery. I hav...

Independent Conservatism

I have, for many years, considered myself to be an independent conservative . Asked by some just what that means I would reply it implies I believe in the radical political views held by the founding fathers. Men of enlightened thinking who personified  "The Age of Reason." There have been many occasions I have been brought to task for pointing to the wisdom of  such giants as Washington, Jefferson, Paine, Franklin... the list could go on but for a lack of time. The heart of  the argument used is these are ghosts from the grave and thus bear no relevancy to the present. Nothing could be further from the truth. The intellectual giants that gave us The Declaration of Independence, formed our Republic, and gave us  The Constitution of the United States of America are as relevant today as they where 233 years ago. For it is their philosophy of governance that lives on today through ...
