“It’s like Limbaugh; he’s an execrable person. The Viagra incident alone casts doubt on his every word.”
LOL
“Blatant” is the nicest thing I’ve been called this week.
I still think Rand was an awful writer, and doesn’t deserve the personality cult that has grown here on FR.
Since I have the summer off, I’ve been considering going back and rereading the Junior Buckley, or the diaries of Reagan. I’ve got the last in my home library. Hmmm...
That’s a good idea, to think of it!
... well, you are judging, but we don’t know what your Beautiful to Ugly scale is.
Only by viewing you can we be sure...
And this thread has become yet another exercise in feeding the troll.
Oh yes, this is the first leftist to write a column about why it was good to "hate", George W. Bush. The left adores this guy for giving them the license to hate............
He's just a petty Marxist enabling journolista who has very little to say, but uses a lot of words.
Why are you on a conservative website...? You can’t even discuss ideas... “babe.”
As a non-believer, I’d expand your comment to say “Unless we’re God, we have no right to say anything.”
Being assertive does make people stand up for the opposite, doesn’t it? Better than “Oh, those awful Liberaaalllls,” or “But...but...Clinton!”
Bump for later. Thanks!
Rand collected Social Security in her old age. The left uses this to club her. Apparently so do some here. The similarity between some freepers and the MSNBC loons is amusing.
OK Gunner, you too are butt ugly. You are qualified to make a legitimate judgement about the butt ugly standard.
Read my #30.
And there are interesting threads here on FR. I learned myself all kinds of good stuff about Hong Kong just the other day from a Freeper with really good ideas why a certain someone who leaked NSA secrets fled to Communist China. For instance.
One doesn’t have to march in lockstep with every cult here to comment, right?
Understanding the market, we remain behind the times regarding your request.
However, some used clothing and undergarments are currently available should you care to purchase them.
Dominican Republic + illegal Viagra (and an arrest by border officials...not his first) = a bad, bad boy!
Either were the Founders. That's why they didn't set one up.
That is an astonishingly silly comment, FRiend.
You need to remember that there once was a time, no so very long ago, when many people made the effort to have coherent, cogent ideas which took more than a few words to express.
These days we all (including me) think and write in abbreviated bullet-points, hoping to cram the most salient thoughts into the fewest words possible.
Ayn Rand came from a different school.
Remember, she was first and foremost Russian, and so we don't compare her to Tom Clancy's fiction, but rather to other Russians -- like Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky or Pasternak.
Second, she was born Jewish, which could explain her lack of interest in Christian doctrines.
Third, she escaped Soviet Communism in 1925 (age 20), and for the rest of her life was very sensitive to the language and thought processes of socialists in America.
In her books, those people were always the antagonists, against whom her heroes struggled mightily and... well, you'll have to read them... ;-)
Rand ping. Some items of interest here.
“And I doubt anyone on this forum has plodded more than ten pages into any of her awful writing.”
And you would be wrong.
Let me restate...
Less than 1% of the cultists...and her writing is godawful. Really really bad. You will learn 10x reading Buckley, and he’s funny.
Leonard Pinth Garnell would have the appropriate words.
Hope your mom remembers to get your pop tarts.
The problem the left has with Ayn Rand is that they cannot stand that an atheist has gone off their Socialism reservation.
