Out of curiosity, did you ever read Atlas Shrugged? The entire thing?

I’ve never read Mein Kampf. What’s your point?

Yeah, I especially loved the end, where Eddie was completely forgotten about, even though he successfully managed Dagney’s company while she went on a sexual exploration with three lovers, cursing Christians the whole way, until she too learned to cheer the destruction of mankind and the starvation of six billion people.

But what’s really terrifying is that folks like Alan Greenspan and Hillary Clinton love it. The only redeeming thing about it (and what gets conservatives to love it) was its hatred for the shackles that goody-too-shoes nanny-staters place on society. How does Clinton relate to that?

Frankly, the book is every bit as hate-filled as the Turner Diaries, just much, much more seductively written.
