Long live Ayn Rand!

Reason not religion!

Science not spirit!

Established in 2002, the Rationalist Party of Patria promotes atheism, free-market capitalism, and the teachings of Objectivism, from the works of Ayn Rand (1905-1982).

For more than a decade, thanks largely to the Spiritual Regeneration Movement, Patria has been choked by Hindu dogma, guru personality cults and new-age hocus pocus.  The latest atrocity is the Amrita Party, foisted upon Patria by Amma's groupies, and now merged with the SRM.  The Rationalist Party aims to end the Hindu theocracy, take the gurus out of government, and return Patria to a foundation of secular, scientific thought.

Rationalists believe in scientific, rational thought -- not arcane rituals, prayers and chants in ancient, dead languages, and good-luck-charm idols.  If God exists, we want verifiable proof in a laboratory.  For a truly free Patria, for a Patria where Man not God is supreme, vote Rationalist.

What is Objectivism?
Ayn Rand named her philosophy “Objectivism” and described it as a philosophy for living on  earth. Objectivism is an integrated system of thought that defines the abstract principles by which a man must think and act if he is to live the life proper to man. Ayn Rand first portrayed her philosophy in the form of the heroes of her best-selling novels, The Fountainhead (1943) and Atlas Shrugged (1957).  She later expressed her philosophy in nonfiction form.
Ayn Rand was once asked if she could present the essence of Objectivism while standing on one foot.  Her answer was:

                               Metaphysics: Objective Reality
                               Epistemology: Reason
                               Ethics: Self-interest
                               Politics: Capitalism

 She then translated those terms into familiar language:

                               “Nature, to be commanded, must be obeyed.”
                               “You can’t eat your cake and have it, too.”
                               “Man is an end in himself.”
                               “Give me liberty or give me death.”

 Objectivism offers a radical alternative to the ideas which dominate today’s culture and universities: mysticism, altruism, and collectivism — and their results, such as nihilism,  environmentalism, “multiculturalism,” and statism.  Objectivism challenges 2,000 years of thought — and provides the basis for a new Renaissance.

Reason and Free Markets in XLVIII Con. Pat.

The Rationalist Party is not anti-religion but promotes atheism as public policy.  Rationalists want religion to be confined to Patria's houses of worship, not halls of government.  “I am an intransigent atheist, but not a militant one. This means that I am an uncompromising advocate of reason and that I am fighting for reason, not against religion. I must also mention that I do respect religion in its philosophical aspects, in the sense that it represents an early form of philosophy.” - Ayn Rand

In the 48th Congress, as in the 47th, the Rationalists' economic comrades-in-arms are the Party for Personal Responsibility.  Like the PPR, Rationalists believe in the supremacy of unfettered free-market capitalism, entrepreneurship, private enterprise, and laissez-faire economic policies.

Although the Rationalist Party won only 23 seats in election of 2002, it is a start on the path of a truly free Patria and a remarkable showing for a new party offering an unpopular alternative to religion, superstition, liberalism, statism, and failed social engineering. With heroes such as John Galt and Dagny Taggart sitting in Congress, the Rationalist Party will only grow in 2006.

THINK!
SAY NO TO AMMA!
SAY YES TO AYN RAND!
SUPPORT THE RATIONALIST PARTY FOR THE 48TH CONGRESS!

VOTE RATIONALIST ON APRIL 15, 2006!

"Man cannot escape from the need for philosophy; his only alternative is whether the philosophy guiding him is to be chosen by his mind or by chance." - Ayn Rand
