Introduction:

Who is an American?

America proudly stands as the beacon of freedom that illuminates the darkness that surrounds those who worship false realities and the anti-life. An American unapologetically stands for freedom—freedom above order and freedom above safety.

The story of America is the story of bravery, adventure, hope, progress, and the pursuit of freedom and opportunity for every man, women, and child. America is a nation of opportunity but not one of guarantee. In America anyone, regardless of gender, race, or financial status, can succeed if they are willing to get an education, have a strong work ethic, and exercise good judgment in the choices they make. Although opportunity exists for everyone there can be no guarantee of prosperity without violating someone’s rights.

An American is someone who:

• He pursues life to the fullest, his purpose is to think and act for himself, and he finds joy in his own achievements.
• He seeks freedom and opportunity, not security.
• He is self-sustaining, not a kept citizen to be taken care of by society.
• He takes risks to succeed or to fail.
• He refuses to surrender his dignity for a handout.
• He prefers the challenges of life to guaranteed prosperity.
• He does not cower before any earthly master or threat.

The foundation of all just and moral rights is that which supports the right of man to own his own life.

“The right to life is the source of all rights—and the right to property is their only implementation. Without property rights, no other rights are possible. Since man has to sustain his life by his own effort, the man who has no right to the product of his own effort has no means to sustain his life. The man, who produces while others dispose of his product, is a slave.” Ayn Rand

When it comes to “rights”, Laissez-faire capitalism is the only economic system that fully supports the individual rights of men.

This blog is a lexicon of extensional philosophy in the political and economic realm. It is the objective observation of the plight of man and the role society plays in the rational life of the individual.

What is the purpose of man? The ingredients to finding one’s purpose is through the ethical pursuit of one’s rational self-interests.

Man in order to survive must have three things: 1. Reason. 2. Purpose. 3. Self-esteem.

In determining the tenants of what’s required for man’s survival can be termed as “Natural Rights”.

The Natural rights of man:

1. Freedom to think independently
2. Freedom to act upon those thoughts
3. Freedom to produce and to keep the rewards of one’s productive efforts
4. Freedom to pursue a rational purposeful life—the pursuit of one’s own happiness

All these are elements of action and of voluntary cooperation between men for the survival and the betterment of men.

For man to achieve these worthy virtues of action he needs truth. The recognition of reality is truth. To recognize independant reality man needs to reason. Reason is the ability to accurately integrate one’s intensional world with his extensional observations. The recognition of truth is the guiding factor for man’s ethical behavior. Truth cannot be compromised without very real consequences. And pragmatism is the antithesis of reason (more on Pragmatism later).

For example, here are some invariable truths as they apply to the political and economic realm:

· Capitalism is the only system which fully recognizes individual rights.
· Altruism and pragmatism is the worship of an alternative intensional realty that is inherently immoral and stands in opposition to the moral tenants of a purposeful life.

How can this be true you ask? Read on.

For those of you seeking objective truth in an independent reality you’ve come to the right place.
