Behind The Decision To Remove A Statue Of Robert E. Lee
"Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right. -- George Orwell, "1984"
Atlas Shrugged ought to be required reading in all high schools with a comprehension test given at the end.
The Democrats have to remove all the statues reminding us of when the Democrats literally fought a war to keep blacks in chains.
Here’s what our local communist rag just published about the new Colorado state law relieving the legislature of any responsibility for adherence to the constitution.
“The law, signed June 19 by Gov. Jared Polis, allows local governments to enact regulations or laws governing or prohibiting the sale, purchase, transfer or possession of firearms, ammunition or accessories. There were four primary sponsors, including legislators Sen. Steve Fenberg, D-Boulder, and Rep. Edie Hooton, D-Boulder.”
Our council in Longmont had a semi-secret meeting last night about how they’re going to put a boot on every ones neck. That’s just my take though.
Where are the protections from tyranny here? I heard (haven’t verified it) that they based this on a 1902 law allowing cities to do basically anything they want to.
I was President of a company. 7 years ago I quit. I never looked for another job. I felt that being a white male meant that I was not wanted on boards especially since I am a conservative. I just hung up everything and retired at 53.
Our current set of CEOs seem to be OK with government encroachment, and are even helping to participate in it.
I see no John Galt's out there.
Was McAfee trying to "Go Galt?"
Bkmk
still got the book and all 3 movies
So I just had an idea...I know, “don’t hurt yourself”. The next time I hear someone say that socialism/communism hasn’t worked is because the right people haven’t tried it yet, I will tell them that they are a racist of the worst sort.
Where has it failed? Cuba, Venezuela, China, to name a few. And the people pushing for socialism/communism? Usually white.
“So what you’re saying is that it will work when you, the white man, does it because the “wrong” people where trying it before. You know, brown and yellow people.”
The novel used to be a work of fiction.
The Francisco d’Anconia’s speech on money is still one of the best passages I’ve read in any book. Here’s a link to the full speech:
Great book that really explains how and why a country can lose it all but the hero, John Galt, was a selfish coward!
He cut and ran to his gulch and talked other selfish cowards to cut and run too.
We true Americans are going to stand and fight these tyrannical bastards like our ancestors did...here, on our own ground...because it’s our ground!
Where is Galt’s Gulch?
Don’t you understand? They’re above the truth. Here are their rules:
1. Truth is whatever serves the Party.
2. If you repeat something often enough, it becomes true.
3. If the facts contradict the narrative, the facts lie.

As we watch millions(?) refuse to take the shot and even more will refuse the boosters...they are just the tip of those who have started to dismantle the engine.
Others who have simply retired, chosen not to return to the ‘game.’ Have indeed gone Galt...even if they do not quite realize it fully just yet.
And then there are indeed the looters. Looters of the stores, looters of government handouts, looters of all types.
Year 0 has come and gone. Employers, recruiters all pondering where are the workers...no amount seems to attract them. And it won’t, until conditions change.
.” When people decide to remove themselves from a game they see as rigged in favor of those far less deserving it is an indication that at some point even Atlas will shrug and let the world fall”

Wishful thinking when Conservatives still frequent Twitter, Facebook, and other organizations that take part in total censorship. The idea of “Going Galt” is wonderful and would affect change if it weren’t so inconvenient for those stuck in routines.
