Atlas Shrugged 09 Movement

Posted on 01/16/2009 9:55:45 AM PST by time 2 gulch

Are there any sane Americans out in the Internet world? Where are all of the true capitalist? It's too quiet in the media world...not enough capitalists protesting the BS Congress is telling us and how they are spending the money you and I earned. I feel like Dagney Taggert...I hope I haven't missed the window of opportunity...

I here you.

We don’t need to wait for the movie because we’re living the novel.

Oh, well...

Who is John Galt?

I’m with you. But I think it’s hopeless. Capitalism is dying a slow death and there’s nothing I can do about it. All i can say is that I’m not taking part in the death. I intend to have a clear conscience when it’s all over.

We're all here. However, a few not-so-capitalists are here, too, but we're working on them.

Welcome.

I’m with you, mine FRiend. I’m looking for ways to oppose this madness, but there doesn’t seem to be anything anyone can do. The whole world seems to have gone mad. The government seems to be just as corrupt as the portrayal on 24, except there isn’t anyone resisting. The Repubes don’t seem to be interested in opposition to His Will.

I don’t know what in the heck we’re going to do? Wait for the boot in the butt, I guess. Sigh.

Called my senators, and my rep. Protest protest protest. Only one voted against this, and she is a Dem (They all are, btw).
Doesn't seem to make any difference what I say, or any one else who calls. They want a piece of the banking pie, and want to make sure their school buddies get their bonuses.

On that I disagree. Capitalism NEVER dies, it just goes underground. How do you think people will eat? Socializm won’t feed anyone. Black market, baby. Thass whaat iss all about.

Oh, things could turn around. I think the rats are “getting a chance” because voting out the pubes was the only thing the voters could do. There’s a good chance they’ll vote this batch out too. But we have to have strong people to run. I can’t do it, too many skeletons in my closet.

One more thing — since we believe in limited government, and limitations on the role government should play, government isn’t the career of choice for our best and brightest. But that means we get the skanky skum in there, and they don’t run the govt the way they should, so we get the REALLY skanky lenino-skum in there.

Amazing — but not SURPRISING — what multiple generations of GOVERNMENT SCHOOL INDOCTRINATION and the influx of MILLIONS of ILLEGALS who know and care little or nothing of the traditions of this place.

Atlas didn’t shrug because he is no longer paying attention.

Satan is the prince of this world. He is allowed to test us .. We are failing. It shows what is inside of man. We want to go our own way, make our own rules and make up our religion to suit ourselves.

It will not work. God is supreme.

Psalm 19
The Law of the LORD Is Perfect
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

"1(A) The heavens declare the glory of God,
and the sky above[a] proclaims his handiwork."

I believe that we are about to see a historic breakdown of this government. IMO, The Obamessiah will get his honeymoon period, but not much else. The people he has selected for his cabinet are walking disasters. (Side note - with so many Clintonistas in his cabinet or on his staff, will they be returning the china, siverware and computer keyboard “W”s they stole when Bush was elected??)

Democrats and Obamanites are already starting to get a clue to what Obama is going to do and some have begun to generate some distance between Obama and themselves. Watch for a gradual change of tone as this year progresses.

It is like ‘The Happening’ come to life. Citizens determined to destroy themselves. Only in this case they have done it through voting for zombies.
I have NEVER been so sick in my life as I am of the insanity that presides over our government and citizenry.
Their stupidity makes me ill and angry.

You have come to the right place, FRiend. Welcome to Free Republic.

I try my best to broach the issue of freedom and the importance of Free Markets at work, sadly many people would rather not talk about it.
