  • It must be horrible living in the US, The hypocrisy of the Republicans is unbearable.

    I thought Christians were suppost to be altruistic, How " Christian" of them to derive their philosophy & idealogy from the very well known nihilist atheist thinker, such as Ayn Rand.

    Im glad, i live in Australia.

  • @TheAntiAusterity

    Well said.  Sometimes I wish I lived in Australia too.

  • Rand is a a pathetic hypocrite whose childish approach to personal social responsibility denies there is a need for personal sacrifice of any kind. In her world the needs of the one is the only consideration. Her novels were works of social-science fiction where the will of an individual is the ultimate morality. The needs of the one always outweigh those of the many in her world. In the real world we are interconnected systemically, this fact is what Rand and her followers can't absorb.

  • @reaper1147

    Well said.

  • You show your bigotry by calling Tea party members TEABAGGERS. Oh what small minds you liberals have.

  • @Colonialpara

    I guess you forget that you idiot teabaggers called yourselves that in the beginning, eh stupid? Remember the "tea bag" protests, and referring to yourselves as "teabaggers", moron? lmao Conservatives are so stupid.

  • @reaper1147 What does "social responsibility" mean, and why do human beings have it? You misrepresent Rand, rational selfishness is the ultimate morality, not the will of the individual. I may want to take drugs or steal, but that doesn't make it morally good. What the hell does "interconnected systemically" mean?

  • Ayn Rand was nothing more than a libertarian, idiotic polemicist. She wasn't an even economist! How she could talk about "which system is best" or "how best to run the econ." is LAUGHABLE. Did she even STUDY economics at all in college? How the hell would she know? Her book Atlas Shrugged is WORTHLESS.

    I mean, exactly HOW "overregulated" could America have been in 1958?? It's the most presumptuous nonsense I've ever heard!

  • @enigma19833 I think we have evolved instincts that have both individualistic and socially cohesive drives. I dont go all the way left, I dont go all the way right. Are some of her arguments good...yeah, sure. Are some of her arguments shit...yeah, sure.

  • It is horrible. You have the Religious Right denying scientific darwinism on one hand, and then embracing of the worst excesses of social darwinism on the other hand BY THE SAME DAMN PEOPLE(!) Talk about being double-minded.

  • Just look at those eyes. Certainly those dark, ever darting eyes are not the eyes of a disturbed human being. Also... If you believe in free-markets the conservative right gives you a pass on believing in God or Christ. I mean, sure, you'll still be going to hell when you die, but at least you tried to point society in a moral direction while you were living.

  • @Colonialpara

    OK Teabagger

    You asked you got

  • what an evil cunt.

  • I usually refrain from using language of this sort, but she really was a vile old cunt. Her beliefs were, at their very core, pure sociopathy and nothing more. It's not a political issue with shades of grey - it's an anti-humanist clusterfuck that is fundamentally wrong on every level.

    Anyone espousing her bullshit should be regarded as HIGHLY suspect and I would recommend keeping such people as far away from you as possible.

  • Aspie eye's.

  • If you would like to see what the world looks like with less regulation, less (established) social services, and less tax collection. Hence, more "capitalism", just look to Mexico.

    If you would like to see what a world of more government control, full health care for all, and higher taxes. Hence, more "socialism', look to Canada.

    Which country do you believe is better off? Which do you believe is headed in the right direction?
