Look at the line-up of Republican candidates; all “conservatives” who would simply perpetuate the welfare state that the Left has created. As did both Bushes, and Reagan. And except for Romney, they’re all religious. And Romney is so slickly gray and fork-tongued I wouldn’t trust him to sort my mail. And regardless of the Party, we are reaching the climax of over a century of philosophical and moral bankruptcy, and the current election campaign is proof of that. <br /><br />I disagree with the official Objectivist position on immigration. I agree with it on principle, but Oists who argue for it forget that first one must abolish the welfare state and abolish State Department and INS quotas that prefer one race over another. Otherwise, it would be an invitation to a drowning. Those millions of immigrants who passed through Ellis Island last century weren’t coming here to sign up for the welfare state; there was no welfare state and the only control the government had over immigration then was to screen immigrants for communicable diseases. It’s the welfare state that the majority of Mexicans and Muslims come here to take advantage of. (Although many do come here to find real, productive work.) But Muslims are a completely alien group whose creed requires that they insulate themselves from the culture and also demand accommodation for that creed. The Amish, on the other hand, insulate themselves, too, but don’t demand that everyone else defer to their beliefs. They’re not trying to take over the government or the country by stealth or violence or just swamping towns with their population. <br /><br />But, there is a multiplicity of perilous trends and movements, and I can’t write about them all. If you have a Kindle or ebook capability, you can read three anthologies of my columns: Running Out My Guns, Broadsides In the War of Ideas, and Corsairs & Freebooters, all published over the last three months.Edward Clinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12160209827969614964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5200276.post-84917334715021750782012-02-15T14:57:12.419-05:002012-02-15T14:57:12.419-05:00Ed,

You understand that the two greatest evils that America and the West face are Leftism and Islam not modern Conservatism and some imagined "imminent Christian Theocracy (tm)". I have increasingly become disgusted with the Objectivist movement. It really is nothing more than Rand-plated libertarianism. <br /><br />Most Oists don't see Islam as irredeemably evil and incompatible with America. I think you do. I wonder if you have gone down that path all the way as I have. I don't think Islam qualifies for 1st Amendment protections. All mosques should be closed down, Muslim immigration should be immediately stopped and Muslims should be deported paying them for their assets fair market value but kicking their asses out of the country nonetheless. And all of this is perfectly compatible with individual rights as organized Islam represents a perpetual threat of initiatory force.<br /><br />But most Oists still follow the "aly with the moderates against the totalitarian Islamists" model. ARI still does this which means that organized Objectivism is a joke. As are all the major O'ist bloggers like Hsieh, VanHorn, etc.. Really, Objectivists are pathetic. Rand would spit.<br /><br />But I'm glad that at least you understand that Islam and the Left are EVIL. Thank's Ed.<br /><br />D. BandlerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
