Everyday freedoms like choosing what to do for a living, associating with whoever we want, and speaking our minds feel completely normal, but they didn’t always exist.

For most of human history people didn’t get to make their own choices and to live for themselves— their lives, in practice, belonged to the collective.

The American revolutionaries put an end to that. Nothing expresses this radical and new idea better than the Declaration of Independence.

[Ayn Rand Institute @AynRandInst]

As the U.S. prepares to mark 250 years since the Declaration of Independence, too little thought is being given to the moral foundation of its greatness. Onkar Ghate argues that capitalism is (still) an unknown ideal👇

@mbateman Great Batman movie. Better than 99% of even the live action Batmans.

[AKU @UlichAndrew]

@RichardHanania So he communicated clearly and was trying to have a good relationship with his dad. I don't get it. What did he do wrong?

[AKU @UlichAndrew]

@NYPostOpinion Kill rent control? You guys have *way* more respect for the Supreme Court than I do. This is the same court that listed all the reasons Obamacare defied the US Constitution by forcing us to buy a service, then re-wrote the law as a tax and becoming de-facto Legislators.

@Nikos_17 @Romantic_Artist The Conservative case is - we're all so drenched in Original Sin we *can't* have socialism. Communism/Socialism would be great for Angels - but we're depraved sinners who need to be allowed the freedom to produce, because only that freedom is consistent with our debased nature.

@PastorMikeStone @SenWarren No, no, she means *billionares and trillonares* pay more. Not her.

[AKU @UlichAndrew]

@RichardHanania Exactly. We'd have more Elizabeth Warren's with slightly less debt. Great.

@Nikos_17 @bayesian_logic Problem is, Rubio has zero sympathy with the type JD in pandering too. To his credit, he looks like knows better. Even if JD does know better, he jumps in all the way. JD can see the way the wind is blowing and got in front. Rubio still thinks he can reason with the mob.

[AKU @UlichAndrew]

@Nikos_17 I believe JD even mentioned uniting his party. Obviously, he doesn't mean the traditional Conservative, Ben Shapiro type. He means Tucker, Candice, and Megyn Kelly. It also makes sense - they are all Populist Grifters. I truly feel for Ben. He is Wynand.

[AKU @UlichAndrew]

@yaronbrook The serious problem is - what's the alternative? Democrats will *support* terrorists. At least he bombed them awhile, then he got bored. That's literally whay happened- in his head, it's time for a UFC fight at the WH now.

[AKU @UlichAndrew]

@BenBayer Why do all the comitted, ideological people have to be insane religious lunatics? I think Rand gives us the answer. But still shocking to see played out in real time. From, "WILL DESTROY THEM" to "Whatever, I want to watch a UFC fight" in 30 days.

@Fish_Flakes546 @MattWalshBlog I'm pretty sure even if politicians looked the other way, you wouldn't build a Tesla.

[AKU @UlichAndrew]

@MattWalshBlog Well. He's also a Nazi. In real life, has the tattoo and everything. The Democrats finally came out about it. The Democrat Nazi Party.

[AKU @UlichAndrew]

@yaronbrook It's just getting shot at. No big deal, as long as no one gets hurt. If I walk outside and someone sends a few rounds downrange- hey, whatever. They didn't hit me, my wife, kids, this time so it's OK. Just have them promise not to do it anymore.

Hopefully, all these videos of Brits seeing the awesomeness of America will have the same effect on the UK as Boris Yeltsin's visit to an American grocery store in 1991 had on the poor, suffering people of the Soviet Union.

[AKU @UlichAndrew]

@JimSwanik @yaronbrook It's ironic. Hardliners for a guy who has no hard lines. Unfortunately, everyone has to learn the hard way, the loudest guy in the room, typing in ALL CAPS, is usually just that - all talk.

[AKU @UlichAndrew]

@HenshiG Is *anyone* surprised the Hamas terrorist supporter - not to mention WTC Terror supporter (look it up)- doesn't care?

[Prof. Frank McDonough @FXMC1957]

BBC Radio newsreader John Snagge gives the first news of the D-Day landing at 9:32 AM to the British public.

[AKU @UlichAndrew]

@AdamMossoff @BenBayer He doesn't get it. They're religious crazies. They don't want peace, BBQs, cars and phones and vacations. Hamas says - "You fight to live, we fight to die". They love martyrdom, they're 8th century lunatics. Their is no negotiation with nutcases.
