Look at Barack Obama. Now look at George Obama. Now who is selfish?

Ah, yes....the old Marxist “enlightenment” that depends on brute force and someone else’s money that the enlightened ones have taken. The Party fat cats have villas, and the peasants stand in long lines hoping for bread. We’ve seen this sorry scam perpetrated on people all over the world because when they grab the reins of power, Marxists can’t run a country.

Sorry, you miserable Leftist. Millions of us would rather fight than switch to your Communist utopia, that always winds up with millions starved and/or imprisoned.

They need to put Romneys quote about the poor in context. He said he’s not concerned about them because there are already billions of dollars of programs in place to take care of them.

This goober obviously hasn’t seen the multiple studies which show, year after year, that conservatives and red states give more to charity than liberals and blue states.

Today, though, that sense of empathy is disappearing in the ranks of the Republican Party. For the most extreme conservatives, empathy is no more than liberal claptrap. It was Mitt Romney, after all, who said, “I’m not concerned about the very poor.”

I guess Stanley was in class at journalism school the day when they covered "taking things out of context" ...

Rand’s entire motto can be boiled down to two words: Be selfish.

The definition of selfish is concern for one's own interests.There is nothing wrong with that, and Ayn Rand did not prohibit a person from being compassionate and empathetic. Those who fear and are hostile to Ayn Rand confuse her ideas about rational selfishness which is perfectly moral with altruism and subjectivistic egoism which are immoral.

“I’m not concerned about the very poor.”

That’s because the very poor are looked after already.

Whatever the Republican platform is these days, I would have to guess the Democrat’s platform involves the breaking of all Ten Commandments.

Selfish is demanding to live off others without any real effort to earn it yourself.

Liberals know no bounds when it comes to selfishness.
