@PSchwartzIDS "Yes, America and the world are better off with a non-nuclear Iran, but an Islamist regime remains a danger.".

@PSchwartzIDS "Iran is the wellspring of modern Islamic totalitarianism. Iran is at war with America, but America has failed to realize it.".

"A rational foreign policy minimizes the possibility of war . It informs our enemies of our certainty of the rightness of our political values, and our rejection of any doctrine invoked by criminal states to justify their coercive behavior." - @PSchwartzIDS #OCON2025

@CBradleyThomps1 "For those of us who are immigrants to the United States, the 4th of July has special meaning. Not only does it represent the birth of America, but it represents our rebirth as free men and women. For this we immigrants will be forever indebted to the United States of America.".

"The Americans set out to revolutionize the idea of a constitution and the idea of government, . [they were] moving towards inventing the great result . the idea of a written Constitution as fundamental law." - @CBradleyThomps1 #OCON2025

“ARI’s mission is to save the Enlightenment by giving it the philosophy it deserves. Objectivism is the philosophy that could save the Enlightenment.”.

“What the Enlightenment needed was what Ayn Rand brought to philosophy: a new code of morality.".

“The Enlightenment swept aside the traditional religious virtues of faith, hope and charity, and brought in new virtues: thought, production, and trade.” - Onkar Ghate, “Saving the Enlightenment” #OCON2025

"Newton's view of math made the moon landing possible; Descartes' view would make it impossible." - David Bakker, "Newton Versus Descartes on the Exactness of Mathematics" #OCON2025

"'Man should be able to think what he pleases, and say what he thinks.' He wanted independent minds, a robust marketplace of ideas where people can discuss, debate, disagree.".

"The story of Spinoza is a reminder that the Enlightenment is a sacred achievement, and that we must fight for it, no matter how many are against us.".

"Spinoza is a hero of the Enlightenment . he was willing to defend these ideas in spite of the attendant dangers. He was . one of the most courageous men in 17th century Europe." - Alex Silverman, "Spinoza: Hero of the Enlightenment" #OCON2025

“The greatest achievement of the Enlightenment is the United States of America. And the consequence is the world we have, capitalism, relative freedom, peace in the 19th century. this is Western Civilization . It’s a product of the Enlightenment.” #OCON2025 @yaronbrook
