“We must dissent from the indifference. We must dissent from the apathy. We must dissent from the fear, the hatred and the mistrust. We must dissent from a nation that has buried its head in the sand, waiting in vain for the needs of its poor, its elderly, and its sick to disappear and just blow away. We must dissent from a government that has left its young without jobs, education or hope. We must dissent from the poverty of vision and the absence of moral leadership. We must dissent because America can do better, because America has no choice but to do better.” NeedsGovernmentJobsAmericaYoungChoicesLeftNationsWaitingCan DoPoorMoralVisionPovertyHatredSickBlowDisappearAbsenceVainIndifferenceSandBuriedApathyElderlyDissentMistrustMoral Leadership Book:Supreme Justice: Speeches and Writings Source: Supreme Justice: Speeches and Writings
“...If peace were the goal of today's intellectuals, a failure of that magnitude -- and the evidence of unspeakable suffering on so large a scale -- would make them pause and check their statist premises. Instead, blind to everything but their hatred for capitalism, they are now asserting that 'poverty breeds wars' ... But the question is: What breeds poverty? If you look a the world of today and if you look back at history, you will see the answer: the degree of a country's freedom is the degree of its prosperity.” IfsWorldLooksWarCountryTodaySufferingGoalAnswersPovertyDegreesEvidenceCapitalismHatredBlindProsperityScalesChecksPausesPremisesMagnitudeUnspeakable Author:Ayn Rand

“You can be horrified by the state of the prisons, the misery in certain neighborhoods of its cities, or their level of poverty. Anti-Americanism, by which I mean a hatred for America as such-its transformation into a metaphysical category, which incarnates all the evil in the world-is one of fascism's favorite themes. Look at writer and political theorist Charles Maurras in France. The philosopher Martin Heidegger in Germany.
