The Founding Fathers saw the value of these fundamental ideas when they founded this country. These ideas are at the root of every great technological advance since, from the automobile to the pizza. Ayn Rand, in her novel Atlas Shrugged , demonstrated this point quite poignantly. Western culture, which encompasses these ideas, is better by virtue of being more propitious to our lives and happiness than any alternative. This is true regardless of race, gender, language or geography.
Ideas have consequences.
By their nature these ideas can only lead to disaster. A culture is a sum of ideas and values. Ideas and values are indeed open to individual choice. We should choose the right ideas and the better culture. The multiculturalists are wrong.
