Why I Am Not A Democrat

The following commentary is written by Robert Tracinski:

"Over the past 40 years, the left, which still wraps itself in populist rhetoric, has been withdrawing more and more into an insular, college-educated, upper-middle-class elite, who live in their own enclaves, from which they look down on the benighted boobs in the rest of the country who don't know enough to vote for John Kerry or to enjoy enlightened films about gay cowboys."
...
"The deepest philosophical case for laissez-faire--that is, for a totally unregulated economy--is Ayn Rand's profound identification of the fact that force and the mind are opposites. To the extent that government exercises the coercive power of regulation, it diminishes the ability of individuals to engage in the rational thinking necessary for their survival."


I finished Heinlein's Tunnel In The Sky. Its a story about survival. Its about creating a society. You cannot plan a society. You have to let individuals adapt. You have to let individuals die.

The Democrats and the Republicans do not understand people are important. They want to take my humanity and make my decisions for me. I cannot let them.
