Heh...state and Federal Government ALREADY earn more from the sale of a gallon of gas than any oil company...

Perhaps we need a citizens board to “regulate” how much government can profit from taxation!!!

Thanks for posting. I pulled my copy of AS to read again, mainly to see how close the screenplay was to the novel.

Having viewed the movie at least five times, IMHO it has stayed truer to the novel than any adaptation of a novel I've ever seen.

On Election Day, I'm taking the day off. First, to vote; second to see Atlas Shrugged, Part II.

After a hundred million innocent dead in the twentieth century, no liberal is entitled to the slightest consideration, courtesy, or civility. Liberals should be reviled, abominated, spat upon, even beaten, whenever they have the gall to show their faces in the presence of decent people.

Intellectual dishonesty is not merely the hallmark, the metier, the forte, the oeuvre of the liberal, it is the very sine qua non of liberalism. Compared to this, hypocrisy is a mere spear-carrier in the liberal’s limping army of sophistries, prevarication, and false moral equivalences.

The liberal himself somehow manages to suppress awareness of his own detachment from both reality and honesty, and in fact spends great volumes of energy swanning about in high dudgeon, gushing forth banshee wails of rage at the purported dishonesty and malice of his opponents. Spraying poison in all directions like a rabid cobra on meth, the liberal walks closed-minded through a world in which only he is open-minded, bigoted through a world in which only he is tolerant, ignorant through a world in which only he is educated, consumed by rage, hatred, and malice through a world in which only he is kind and nice.

All leftist thought, from the limousine liberalism of a George Clooney to the mass murders of Mao, Stalin, or Pol Pot, is of and from Satan. It is a contaminant in the human cognosphere, not a natural component of it.

Dear Lord, help us to drive the left entirely out of political and social power, first in the US, the country You founded, and then across the face of the Earth. Amen.

Nicely written.

And also true. If you still wonder how liberals manage so successfully to suspend the sense and sensibility that God gave them, the answer is that they have replaced God and his law with something else, and worship that instead. And you know exactly what that is.

I am fascinated with the means by which human consciousness is propelled from one of rational perception and interpretation to the inverted fantasy world in which many modern liberals dwell, in which each and every value becomes more precisely its opposite.

If you accept that human consciousness and perception are voluntary (and I think they are), then one has a choice: acceptance or denial. Responsibility or dependency. Individual liberty or collective servitude.

The reason that liberals must deny reality and the concept of value is to justify their desire for that which they want or need - but have not earned by productive effort. Instead, those who do create and produce things of value are not assumed to be what they are - givers - but instead are considered "takers". And when liberals (or more generally: collectivists) attain majority status, they empower their vicarious deity, the State, to do themselves what they would otherwise do were they bold or brave enough: steal.

And, please do not forget this: before they are murderers, all collectivists are first thieves.
