The Rational Egoist

Welcome to my blog. My name is Steve Giardina. I consider myself to be a student of the philosophy of Objectivism, and these are my many thoughts. Feel free to leave comments, as well as your opinions.

"In the name of the best within you, do not sacrifice this world to those who are its worst. In the name of the values that keep you alive, do not let your vision of man be distorted by the ugly, the cowardly, the mindless in those who have never achieved his title. Do not lose your knowledge that man's proper estate is an upright posture, an intransigent mind and a step that travels unlimited roads. Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle. The world you desired can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it's yours." Ayn Rand

Injustice [Posts] — Steve Giardina @ 2:52 pm

Another bomb blows apart a bus in Jerusalem.

Terrorists attack children, children get their faces ripped apart by the shrapnel and flames of suicide bombs, hundreds die over a long period of time. In what sort of sick world do we live in where it is not the terrorists who are blamed for the attack, but rather the people being attacked??? This is what is happening in Israel.

A terrorist slaughters innocent civilians, including blatant attacks on young children, and the blame for such attacks is directed at the country of THE VICTIMS. The world, in response to such attacks, does not support the victims in ruthlessly eliminating the terrorists behind it, but rather screams at them to negotiate with its murderers. What sort of sick and twisted world do we live in where the response advocated by the majority of the world to murder and terror is to bow down and ask for more!?

I can not begin to describe the injustice and the horror of what is advocated by the world for the response to terrorism in Israel.

Today I’ve seen the video of the aftermath of this attack. I’ve seen emergency services trying to recessitate a three year-old girl with her legs shattered and gone, not breathing. What kind of sick person would claim that that girl’s death is not the fault of the terrorist who killed her, but rather, the victims of the attack?

I fully support the Israeli army marching into the Palestinian territories and killing every Palestinian terrorist they can find, and continuing onto every other country that supports the murderers of Israeli civilians.

For people to advocate that Israelis negotiate with their murderers is absolutely sick and disgusting.

  2. We should lie on the ground curled into the fetal position with big, sad puppy-dog eyes and beg the bad men for mercy! Bullshit. I agree with you as well.
