Terence Corcoran: Ayn Rand — still the most dangerous woman in America

The fear of a long dead women and her ideas is merely an affirmation how nonsensical socialism/liberalism/communism/progressivism and all such “isms” truly are.

The left realizes that as its fundamental inability to be self-sustaining becomes more apparent, they search for a scapegoat elsewhere than in the mirror!!!

Rand condemned liberals and conservatives, but had even stronger views about libertarians. In a 2009 biography of Rand, author Jennifer Burns records that during Rand’s public speeches, she called libertarians “scum,” “intellectual cranks” and “plagiarists.”

Well that ought to rattle some cages among the druggies and livestock molestors.

EXCELLENT....I don’t know if Gail Wynand is your real name, but I stole the last paragraph of your essay and want to attribute it correctly!

I love Ayn Rand so much! Anytime I need some motivation or inspiration, I just read a few parts of Atlas Shrugged or Fountainhead and I get psyched up. I am so energized to know that she thought of all this some 60 years ago. She predicted the whole thing. Awesome! It motivates me to fight.

"Now look, Col. Bat Guano, if that really is your name...."

A safe bet not.
