the United States of America is the greatest, the noblest and, in its original founding principles, the only moral country in the history of the world.

And on that basis, we have not only the right, but the duty, to export our morality. The charges of "imperialism" leveled against us should be worn as badges of honor. YES, we are cultural hegemonists. YES, we are proud of what we've done. YES, the rest of the world would do well to adopt our mores. NO, not all cultures are equal. Ours is superior, and we don't do anyone any favors by pretending it's not, or falsely equating less successful cultures to our own.

Good point!

Although Ayn Rand was an atheist, as a Christian it is my duty to share the Gospel. ( Seriously! In every way it is a better way to live!)

funny, this would be so far from what Rand would advocate.
