Paying the Obamas to produce racist propaganda is about as bad as buying David Duke For President memorabilia. Which one is more racist?

The rise and fall of Western Civilization.

I often think that, but it isn't necessarily true.

What we are witnessing is a war between ideas: Collectivism vs Individualism.

Or better put, Slavery vs Freedom.

Slavery, wherein the individual is a slave to the collective/community/group, OR Freedom, wherein the individual is free to operate within a system of laws that grant his freedom while protecting others from his abuse of that freedom.

What has recently happened at Harvard gives us much insight into the nature of this war.

Collectivism doesn't really work because it promotes mediocrity and failure.

Individuality on the other hand promotes merit and high achievement.

Collectivism can only be adopted by force and that force must never cease or those favoring merit will break free and the war will begin all over again.
