With help from your friendly neighborhood CIA................
I'm thinking the same thing, at the least we should get our investment back.
You take the King’s shilling…
we also begged the saudis to pump more oil after Biden insulted them
You take the King’s shilling…
You do the King’s bidding........................
There are no limits to tyranny...
biden/obama is a sick and mindless tyrant who wants to kill the golden goose!!
A most excellent means to gain great insight and further understanding of Atlas Shrugged!
I commend it to EVERY FReeper!
A MUST READ!

We live in a combination “Atlas Shrugged”, “1984”, “Brave New World”, and “Idiocracy”.........................
Well gosh and shucks. You’re making me blush.
Enjoy the fame!
And, the cash!
Y’all earned it!
I would replace that stupid ‘Hunger Games’ with Atlas Shrugged....................
That would have taken longer. But you’re right, Atlas Shrugged should be on the bottom...
I finally saw one of the ‘Hunger Games’ on cable last week. Even though I like Jennifer Lawrence, the movie was stupid. I don’t plan on seeing any more of them..............
He who pays the piper, calls the tune.
I agree with you. There are consequences for actions. Perhaps a stake in the profits up to the amount the taxpayers ‘invested’ no more, no less. But as with all Dem schemes, they will reward their friends and punish their enemies. Same as it ever was. “The Vampire Economy”.
I'll start with the most basic one after reading the summary of your and BillTheDrill's book:
If I can read your book and have each chapter summarized, pointing out what it is Ayn Rand is saying in plain language, why would I then bother reading the book? Were you aiming for the "Cliff's Notes" version of Atlas Shrugged, or a supplemental to it?
Please don't get me wrong: Not being snarky or a smartass (like I'd normally be) I'm really genuinely curious.
Personally, I like "the journey" of reading Ayn Rand and picking up something new that I might not have understood previously (not unlike my Bible) and having that "ah ha!" moment.
Last comment: I originally read Atlas Shrugged the first time in paperback. Loved it so much I bought it in hardcover. I do so enjoy reading the hardcover more than a paperback.
If you read a chapter of "Atlas" followed by reading a chapter of our book, you'll get so much more out of "Atlas."
Happy to support my fellow Freepers.
