I thought you and I had a thing, but I come back to find you've left me not one thread, nay I say, not a trace of your sweet honeysuckle perfume. That glorious bloom, that odoriferous breeze of political bullshite. No common political bullshite, exhibited without pomp, here on the poliboard. Your individual scent.

And here I thought I had my first poliboard girlfriend.

I liked Anthem, but if her nonfiction writings take 20 words to say what could be said in 5 (like Atlas Shrugged), I'll have to pass. She's brilliant but long winded.

Trump himself has said he was the ultimate insider and that is why he understands the game and is huge only person capable of stopping it......he isn't John Galt he is James Taggart.



Ayn Rand ws a psychotic nut........obsessed with wealth at any cost.. Anyone who can read Rand and be affected in any manner other than "damn, that was a waste of time" is mentally stuck at age 13...........

One area where Christians share a common idea with sane, mature, thoughtful people.....anyone with a brain DOES reject Rand.....only those forever doomed to be an awkward 13 year old finds anything about objectivism meaningful.......

No, Rand was a materialistic version of Nietzsche .

Keep in mind she grew up during Russian Revolution. All of the commies' excesses. A lot of her writing is a reaction to it.

As for Atlas Shrugged, FDR's policies before they were struck down by the courts were the basis for much of that book. That's what people don't realize because they can't picture that degree of government control in America.

Actually "Shrugged" was lifted, almost verbatim, from a novel written in the 20's about a railroad owner named Galt...... Some 30 years later Rand publishes a novel identical in every aspect to the Driver.......
