The need for a rational moral code in your daily life.
I refuse to vote for politicians whose votes are determined by prayer. I'm looking at you, Michelle Bachmann!
See here from the AVN's video and writings that started the recent debate:
As you might expect of a Rand follower, Brook believes regulation only harms the economy. "This crisis was caused by excessive regulations," he says. "The industries that failed were housing, mortgages and banking," three of the most regulated industries in history, he argues.
If we are to reject the welfare state as immoral and thereby restore the American dream of individualism, don’t we need a rational morality that challenges the centuries-old creed of self-sacrifice and instead argues for the individual’s moral right to his own life …
" Wealth grows. True. But the pie metaphor carries with it another implication, which Roberts doesn’t challenge. It treats wealth as owned by society. We happen to find ourselves in possession of a pie.
On our view, you earned your wealth and it belongs to you, and no politician has any business talking about how much of your money he can “afford” to let you keep.
Oil powers the industrial farm equipment that brings us abundant food. It powers the mobile machinery that we need to extract raw materials like iron, lumber, uranium or natural gas from the earth.
The left's modus operandi is to denounce the open use of "violence," while promoting and condoning every other form of force.
Christmas in America is an exuberant display of human ingenuity, capitalist productivity, and the enjoyment of life.
Consider one example today: H.R. 3962, the ''Affordable Health Care for America Act" recently passed by the House of Representatives.

The controversy over President Obama's speech to the nation's schoolchildren will likely be over shortly after Obama speaks today at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia. But when President George H.W.
Under campaign finance law, corporations are prevented from spending their own money to advocate the election or defeat of political candidates. Tomorrow, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear a second round of arguments in Citizens United v.
