| 2. Finally, confronting the Islamist threat is nothing new in United States history. It has nothing to do with meddling in the affairs of foreign countries. The current U.S. Constitution wasn't even written when America had her first brush with Islamists. This conflict changed Jefferson's mind abou... |

| Please watch these: To this list I would like to add the Republican party debate in South Carolina, which you can find by searching for "Ron Paul Courageously Speaks the Truth" on YouTube (I'm too new to the forum to post the link). where Paul dares to suggest that our own foreign policy ... |

| But whenever talking about morals, you need to first agree that they are an invention of the human mind (unless your religious), so you can go with general consensus of what is moral, or just personal. I reject both suggestions: first, that one has to be religious to subscribe to an objective notio... |

| I think I probably consider it impossible for inaction to be immoral Well then you'd be wrong. Ah, well, you seem to have morality all figured out then. That's nice. Humans evolved to be compassionate about the fate of other humans, and I think its beneficial for everyone if we take care of each ot... |

| You consider it impossible for inaction to be immoral, then? To see an assault on your street corner and merely close the blinds, to watch a man with a gas can burn down a building without calling the police or fire department, these are acceptable inactions? I think I probably consider it impossib... |

| "With great power comes great responsibility." While it may be a trite superhero slogan, it's also a moral truth: if you're capable of ending injustice, you have a moral duty to do so. Actually, that even applies to John Galt's strike of the men of the mind. I take that slogan to mean som... |
