Ayn Rand attacks altruism as evil and both defines and defends her philosophy of objectivism. Rand also explains how monopolies cannot exist unless they are supported by government erected barriers to competition.

  • And also this audience is absurdly stupid.

  • Her logic on Israel makes no sense. 'They resort to terrorism', yes some do, however many more innocent people on the Arab side are killed by the Israelis. Just because you put an army suit on doesn't make killing people any less 'terroristic' than if you're wearing a turban when you do it. Historically it's the Israelis who've been the aggressors.

  • @KyleSkullz

    That is such a childish and obtuse remark to make. It goes without saying that she's not referring to arabs to a person, but as a culture.

  • Donahue is a bit of a dick.

  • @KS

    With all due respect to your individuality and your right to judge, be reflexible in your perceptions. What she means is Those Arabs that own the power to call the shots. And I would dare to venture that these kinds of Arabs are the same ones (I'm against) that are condemned passionately by those Arabs who have no power to have it differently, the same ones that would cut their own mother's throats (in a manner of speaking of course) to rush to Israel or America to be more free.

  • @SEANFIR Funny thing is most people do not really understand how dangerous Ayn "Rand" philosophy is.

  • how prophetic is her first statement

  • @lisettesvision absolutely. It is condescending. Final. Absolute

  • Problem with Ayn Rand is she says "the arabs" and doesn't regard them as individuals. "Some arabs" do what she is describing, not all.

  • Greenspan, Rand (Rosenbaum) and Gordon Gekko all sitting in an apartment... "say, couldn't we design a philosophy that rationalizes being a greedy bastard, racist prick, sexist misogynist and blithering ignorant idiot that won't shut up?" and the typewriter starts ticking away...
