Where your tax dollar is going...

[RoyalOrleans]

That's your defense? Quoting a god damn fictional book, and showing images of Nazi's (more fear mongering)?

The Virtue of Selfishness by Ayn Rand is NOT a work of fiction, however it is a book of her opinions on Objectivist philosophy, validation of egoism, the destructiveness of altruism, and the nature of proper government.

 

Ever see an eight year old boy goose step?

[phreakwars]

It's an opinion, and it is fiction, plain and simple. It's about as ridiculous as the bible and used just the same by right wingers to promote an agenda of intolerance and hatred.

 

It completely blows my mind how many right wing zealots swear by Ayn Rand, who wasn't even a Christian, totally admits her work is fiction, and was certifiably bat crazy.

 

Her garbage gets quoted by more right wingers then anybody... quoting what... a fictional world that crazy people believe really exists because of where this chick grew up.

 

Trying to apply it to the real world and failing miserably except in the eyes of your own kind.

 

This is why the GOP is fading more every day in every age group. Because you INSIST on using labels and name calling ( like liberal, socialist, communist, messiah, savior, etc, etc, etc...) over producing any kind of solutions. Your defense is always quoting fictional books and claiming hypocrisy. Those on the right who have any sense isolate themselves from the GOP because they know in their hearts that kind of hate mongering is non productive. The rest, are nothing but god damn traitors and domestic terrorists waiting to happen because they feed into that crap like it was true.

 

I guess they have too much pride to just admit... they lost an election, but worse, they lost the support of the majority of the country. And no damn amount of fear mongering is ever gonna bring that back, and as you can see, has made it worse.

What book?

[phreakwars]

You know which one. Atlas Shrugged.

[ImWithStupid]

I see. Actually it's not from Atlas Shrugged.

 

It's a collection of essays on ethics and Rand's philosophies.

[phreakwars]

Yes, I am aware of that. My point was, is people take the words of this bat crazy woman the same way they take in the bible. Man, and you accuse Obama of being a Messiah? I don't hear of people quoting his books, only criticizing them.... this is a Messiah? I don't hear people preaching the gospel according to MLK. You figure with a Messiah in office who is gonna save all, the words of his inspirations would be thrown in our face. Instead, we get Ayn Rand quotes. Maybe throw in a reference to Stalin, Hitler, and Musollini to try and find any credibility in your absurd notions of how the country is being run. It's nothing more then hate mongering.

It's actually no different than those who follow Milton Friedman or John Maynard Keynes.

[phreakwars]

Never heard of them, never heard their work preached to me.

Quite full of yourself, huh, Bender? So sure that hate and fear originated with right wing conservatives?

History is a great teacher.

 

Boy did anybody else watch the whole thing like I did?

It makes me want to break out my Lederhosen, grab a shovel and build a road for our new found fuhrer.

If every American would read Milton's "Capitalism and Freedom" we would have a better country. Hell, I would be happy if every American saw that 2 minute and 24 second video. Can't expect the typical dumbass Obama voter to read a book. Every time you hear someone tak about deficit spending to end a recession they are preaching Lord Keynes.

By the way, Ayn Rand's whole point in Atlas Shrugged was that Socialism can only succeed if the Achievers in society sacrifice themselves to the collective.
