LaVeyan Satanism is defined according to the wonderful Wikipedia.org as a religion founded in 1966 by Anton LaVey. Its teachings are based on individualism, social Darwinism, self-indulgence, and "eye for an eye" morality, with influence from Friedrich Nietzsche and Ayn Rand.

see this is where it gets interesting...

Conservatives and Libertarians think -- and, setting aside the theocracy crowd, their identity is centered on the individual.
-I'd say that sounds like individualism to me. Now let me be the bearer of bad news, individualism is opposed to the view that tradition, religion, or any other form of external moral standard should be used to limit an individual's choice of actions.

That bum sitting on a heating grate, smelling like a wharf rat? He's there by choice. He is there because of the sum total of the choices he has made in his life. This truism is absolutely the hardest thing for some people to accept, especially those who consider themselves to be victims of something or other - victims of discrimination, bad luck, the system, capitalism, whatever.
-Social-Darwinism. Regardless of a person's history, mental condition, or poverty level, the almighty Mr. Boortz feels these people (and i do stress the term people seeing as how they are living, breathing human beings, like you and I) do not deserve assistance in living. He'd rather they decay in our streets, so the rich can live richer.

I still have my PhD. in Insensitivity from the Neal Boortz Institute for Insensitivity Training. I learned that, in short, sensitivity sucks. It's a trap. Think about it - the truth knows no sensitivity. Life can be insensitive. Wallow too much in sensitivity and you'll be unable to deal with life, or the truth So, get over it.
-Call it what you will, but you can't have an eye for an eye attitude and be sensitive to the needs of others.

Now let me put it in terms that you can understand, jackass.
1.Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
2.Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted
3.Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth
4.Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled
5.Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
6.Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
7.Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God

Those are the Beatitudes by the way, The Beatitudes imply that people not normally considered blessed on Earth are in fact blessed by God/Reality and will experience the Kingdom of Heaven.
