"This was, perhaps, an understandable reaction against her childhood experience of Communism."That one sentence made me laugh out loud!

It is becoming apparent that the teachings of Ayn Rand is much stronger than the antics used by these followers of Saul Alinsky. I truely belive taht the Alinsky collectivist stooges can not handle a million individuals nor could they ever understand them. The libs used those tactics to get in power but cannot govern for their lives. It will be the Conservatives who will have to clean up after their mess...again.

People who, for whatever reason, can’t read the whole thing, should read just the chapter where the tramp recalls the Twentieth Century Motor Co. and the Starnes heirs.

Rand did not make this world, I can assure you. It would be completely different if she had.
To: darkwing104
True. I keep trying to get my daughter to read “Atlas Shrugged”, but she is more worried about Jon & Kate.........

“Rand’s inclusion of businessmen in the ranks of the Übermenschen helps to explain her appeal to free-marketeers “
I hate liberals. They equate banksters and wall-street children with businessmen.

I think this writer misunderstands John Galt. It is not accurate to call John Galt the leader of a capitalist strike. Quite to the contrary, Galt’s strategy was simply to give the socialists what they wanted, and then watch them flail about helplessly when they had it.

“Rand was NOT a libertarian....in fact, she despised the term........”
That may be true, but Atlas Shrugged is an unabashedly libertartian novel.
Republicans often still don’t really grasp “liberty” as a concept.

These 60’s Radicals were living off the family wealth and coddled by the media and subsidized by the government. They have never dealt with the real world. Their efforts are doomed. We need to be careful to reinstate the Republic when it’s time to rebuild and pick up the pieces.

No, republicans don’t grasp “humanity” as a concept. I blame this on the libertarians and Ayn Rand. LICE, I call them. (Libertarians Infiltrating Conservative Entities)
