About
A-equals-A.com is a site devoted to providing men and women with the resources and tools needed to construct a consistent, reason-based philosophy of life and liberty. The founding principles of America have been all but forgotten, while the stolen concepts of freedom, liberty, and human rights are constantly misused in out-of-context, misleading rhetoric. Today's intelligencia claim there are not self-evident truths, only relative values. They assert that we live not by inalienable right, but only by permission granted by society or government. Our current system is not one that respects human rights, and we are rapidly buckling under the increased weight of the ever-growing Welfare / Warfare State.
Human life flourishes to the degree a society respects property rights and the rule of law. A reason-based philosophy of life and liberty is the only system that opens the door for the greatest of human potential and allows for the continuous improvement of the human experience - morally, economically, physically, mentally, and spiritually.
Educate yourself in the topics of philosophy, economics, and history. Refuse to actively or passively support illegitimate institutions of monopolistic, coercive control.

A Welcome Message from A-equals-A.com
Dear America,
Our current system is broken. No, not broken - broken implies something can be fixed. Our system is unsustainable, both in theory and practice. The political quagmire of self-contradicting ideology that has manifested itself in Washington is merely a surface level consequence of something of a more fundamental nature. The proper focus must be directed to the ideological system; the misguided, unworkable philosophy upon which mainstream economics and politics in America has been built. The purpose of this site is to provide the intellectual tools required for individuals to begin the process of building a complete, consistent philosophy compatible with life and liberty.
America is in a state of crisis brought on the by the slow, gradual erosion of principles; compromising to the fallacious concept of collectivized rights and the ethic of sacrifice. Driven by an inconsistent philosophy of contradicting ideals, Americans are frustrated but don't know where to turn. We are caught between the false alternative of Democrat or Republican - Or in other words, do we want to commit national suicide quickly or slowly. Make no mistake that if the current course is not changed, the erosion will continue, varying only by differences in degree, until the inevitable ends are realized. Six thousand years of human civilization show the brutal consequences of people living by unreasoned philosophy, without exception.
As conditions become increasingly intolerable for the people of the once freest nation in the history of the world, it is time now more than ever to act. The battle for freedom, liberty, individual rights, and voluntary exchange is a battle that can only be fought with ideas. Right now this battle is being lost in America because the majority of its alleged proponents do not consistently defend the principle of individual human rights on its essential moral and ethical grounds.
If we choose survival as our goal, a reason-based approach to developing a political philosophy shows there is only one system that is conducive to achieving that goal: A system that respects individual human rights without compromise.
An individual must choose to act. An individual must choose to use his or her mind to accept valid concepts and reject those that are false. Mindlessly accepting "popular truths" and blindly following the popular attack on reason is a recipe for ruin.
There is only one formula to save America. Identify things as they are. Eliminate contradiction. A = A.
In honor of life and my love for it,
A $ A
“Everyone carries a part of society on his shoulders; no one is relieved of his share of responsibility by others. And no one can find a safe way out for himself if society is sweeping towards destruction. Therefore everyone, in his own interests, must thrust himself vigorously into the intellectual battle. None can stand aside with unconcern; the interests of everyone hang on the result. Whether he chooses or not, every man is drawn into the great historical struggle, the decisive battle into which our epoch has plunged us.”
