Have you ever seen Pigbaugh debate? lol None of these phony T-tard moralists will debate. Fat Boy can't even go on TV anymore. heh heh

Yes, but wasn't it a hoot to see Paul Ryan run away from her [as did the Repugs during election] when the morons realized their heroine rejected faith and religion. He didn't know she was an atheist! What;s that say about Conservatives. It;s called cherry picking. And who cares why she was on SS. I liked some aspects of her beliefs, novels were okay, but she's a hypocrit. A right wing hypocrit who says 'I've go mine, so screw you'. best to ya

liberalism and conservatism are more different than similar. Also,her books have been big sellers for years so she was hardly poor. As for her being a recipient of Social Security she was on SS to recoup a small part of all of the fortune she'd paid in taxes over the years.

Kimzonline: And you are a hateful right winger with a closed mind that would kick a person when they are down it is so typical of you losers on the right. You bums on the right are the ones who legislate to take away rights from people who have fought for them unlike a bitch like you who sits back and puts people down. Love to have you serve in the military so I could watch you shit your pants! Talk is cheap but action takes balls that is why you were never given any at birth. Now go cry to mom

Did Rand ever publicly debate? Of not, for someone who knew so much about what philosophy was right for everyone,why wouldn't she debate it and put it up for criticism?

[Jrunri]

Liberalism and traditional Conservatism could be said to be almost the same in today's political spectrum in many perspectives.

Even though she died in poverty and dependent on Social Security :/
