Because you and I have tangled elsewhere before and your feigned ignorance of the meaning of my bunch of words is as dishonest as your understandable shame, on a conservative website, to avoid being public as to your ideological background which is certainly not conservative, except accidentrally in the case of government school funding.

I have no obligation to sit idly by while objectivists try to hijack conservatism.

Shall we also discuss the pretty thought held in common by Margaret Sanger and Ayn Rand that charity is cruelty?

You may start a thread. What you may not do is control all sides of the discussion. I would like you to make an honest revelation as to the totality of your belief structure so that your fellow posters may see it all. I cannot compel you. Mine is Roman Catholicism. Am I a witch doctor, therefore? And, what's your agenda?????

I have made no secret of the fact that I am not a "conservative" (whatever that happens to be this week). Do you think this is some kind of great revelation?

I don't know if I'd consider myself an objectivist, but I certainly value much of the philosophy. What this has to do with "hijacking conservatism" I don't know. I pretty much figured that everyone here were big boys and girls, and they could actually weigh the value of ideas for themselves. But I'm sure they appreciate your efforts to save them from nasty 'ole me. (do you get the impression I think you're being a bit melodramatic?)

I have no idea who Margaret Sanger is, but as for Rand, it was not actually charity in the traditional sense, but altruism (state institutionalization of charity) which she opposed. I share her distaste for altruism, and in fact all things collectivist.

Gee, that's mighty nice of you. When did you purchase FR?

How does one go about "controlling all sides of a discussion" on a website which encourages the free exchange of ideas? Are you suggesting that I have some kind of inside advantage?

I am fundamentally libertarian from a philosophical standpoint. I recognize the initiation of force or fraud as immoral under all circumstances, and oppose such, whether perpetrated by individuals, or by state. My libertarian philosophical foundation is well known on FR.

I'm not sure what you think you're "exposing", but I think you look kinda silly in doing it.

Hey Blackie! I'd love to have a source/link for that one, can you help?
