“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!
I remember getting to the famous "Galt speech", thinking to myself that finally she's going to lay it all out.
And wanting to slit my wrists about one page later.........ten, fifteen pages later he's still talking and somehow people are STILL listening to him on the radio all over the US of A.
That being said, she nails a few things in her writings:
1. The manner that leftists gain and consolidate power.
2. The hypocrisy of leftists.
3. Capitalism (free enterprise) is a superior system to statism for multiple reasons.
I think a sense of humor would have helped her a lot.........
