As I was reading those blog comments by the lefties I kept thinking I was at the part early in the book with Hank Rearden and Dagny at the party at Hank’s house when the anti-capitalists were talking about the evils of men in their very pretty, elevated, elitist language. It was truly creeping me out...I could hear Hank’s brother speaking...
Of course “Atlas Shrugged” doesn’t fit perfectly with our society 60 years after it was written. It isn’t meant to -but it does demonstrate the power of the human spirit that exists so beautifully in some of us.
It strikes me as hilarious that libs can talk about how some people are born gay or born some such way that justfies their standards or morality, but when someone is born to be a leader and producer in our capitalist system then that person must surely be a greedy bastard deserving of nothing but scorn. Nice.
The one that gets me is that they glorify natural athletes and those who have a gift for entertaining others. Nothing wrong with being born with those natural abilities and using them to make millions, but you'd better not be born with a brain for business and use it to make money, because that's just greedy. The hypocrisy is fascinating.
There is no one more hypocrital or intolerant than a liberal.
