journey to Galt Gulch

Once they get their force field goin’, there’s no stoppin’ ‘em.

The wimpified productive members of society are ignorant of government misconduct and can be pushed a lot farther.

Most of the country is productive, conservatives make a mistake if they don’t explain that socialism will reult in less for everyone. Rich, middle class and poor will all be worse off.

I found the comments after the article quite amusing. Some of the commenters, self-described liberals, made reference to their seeking to emigrate after the 2004 elections, but stayed here nonetheless. They then go on to say conservatives will become “Galt-like” and will withdraw into themselves. Those commenters could not be more qrong. We are not going to retreat into some shell ande shut out the rest of the world. We are, instead, going to take our country back, even if it means having to trod over the broken and decaying remains of the lunatic left.

Going Galt

[RWB Patriot]

I hope the producers will remember their loyal workers when they go on strike.

This was in the Denver Post? Atlas is getting close with this Kenyan-born marxist usurper and the incredibly corrupt Washington DC & MSM.

The problem with “going Galt” is that there are plenty of incompetents out there willing to try to take over when John Galt throws down the reins.

Like in the auto industry: when the good engineers leave or retire, there’ll be plenty of EPA employees, the ones who couldn’t make it at the Big 3 or even as a waterboy for the Japanese at one of the transplants, willing to try to do real engineering work.

And it’ll be years before their lack of ability is seen for what it is, as opposed to something like the colossal mismanagement of GM or Chrysler.

Atlas isn’t just shrugging...Atlas is having a Grand Mal seizure...

[Billthedrill]

A ping for all who haven't seen it yet to the FReeper Book Club whose current topic is Atlas Shrugged. Come join us.

[luvie]

When will Atlas shrug?

I have felt him tremble.

[familyop]

"When will Atlas shrug?"

"Atlas" better describes people who can live on very little than those who consume very much. The "shrug" is already occurring. One effect will be that of most container ships being scrapped.

“The East crumbled when the West asserted the superiority of liberty”

Liberty!

That’s our rallying cry.

[AD from SpringBay]

A viable alternative to the cash system will have to emerge. Go Gault all you want, you still need to eat. Any Gault’s Gulch will have to be virtual because every inch of soil can come under mamma guv’mint’s great hog-fat sway.

[MtnClimber]

I have been working on a transition from corporate employment to small business. A good conservative CPA can help a small business really starve the marxist beast of revenue!

[aps]

What the Libtards do not realize is that as we reduce what we earn there is less to tax, meaning less revenue for government. As we spend less, there is less taxes to be collected from sales. The deficits will increase. The problems will grow.

The Libtards don’t know this as they don’t know that cutting taxes increases revenue through incentives to earn more. We don’t work for the benefit of government or our lazy fellow citizens on the government teet.

Let them learn the lesson the hard way.

[SuperLuminal]

F.A. Hayek and Frederic Bastiat!

Absolutely required reading. Many times posted about and discussed here 10-years ago.

The Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and the writings of the Founding Fathers and these two gentlemen are all that are needed when the time comes to throw off gentle serfdom and re-establish a Constitutional Republic based on freedom and liberty.

[Myrddin]

Just look at the stock market and the stores being shuttered around town. Businesses are cutting back in anticipation of being taxed out of business and being "organized" by union labor so they can't compete in the marketplace. The Sportsmanswarehouse in Pocatello is being closed. The parent company claims they can't get sufficient credit to keep the shelves stocked. The shelves are indeed bare. Especially firearms, ammo and reloading supplies. The parking lot was full today with "store closing" discounts. I looked around for a bit and didn't see anything I really needed (in stock).
