actually her quote is

“If any civilization is to survive, it is the morality of altruism that men have to reject. “

Being generous is inborn;
being altruistic is a learned perversity.
No resemblance.

A quote which you can find on my home page; I was writing off the top of my head. In many ways she was correct.

In the recent debates from Lefties, how many times have we heard, "I consider [Socialized Medicine, Global Warming, Immigration Amnesty, etc etc] to be a moral issue." And so they do. The problem is these are NOT moral issues, they are public policy questions. Even if we stipulate for the sake of argument that these are moral issues, isn't this the bunch who doesn't think there are moral absolutes? Isn't this the same outfit that says no one has the right to enforce their morality on anyone else?

And please do notice, that these are the folks who despise Christians, and yet, every demand made upon us is laded with the guilt that we are obligated -- because we are our brother's keepers.
