I would bet that the "average" Tea Partier has never heard of Atlas Shrugged or Ayn Rand.

[Darksheare]

I don’t have a copy.

[2ndDivisionVet]

It is a loooooooong and windy book.

[lee martell]

I actually would expect a real Tea Party person to be familiar with the concepts of her work, if not the actual prose. Chris Matthews needs to realize everyone has some source of learning and inspiratiion. Just ask the Clintons and Obama about Saul Alinski. They worship him, and consider his tactics to be as potent as the blackest magic around.

As opposed to Matthews love for and adherence to the original ‘ Little Red Book of Mao’

[Gene Eric]

>> ‘Like It’s the Little Red Book of Mao’

Mao is in your camp, ya’ Leftist pig.

[Darksheare]

How does it compare to the 900+ pages of Red Storm Rising?

[fieldmarshaldj]

Never read it. Of course, Matthews enjoys talking out of his ass.

"But when they spend all this time on Benghazi, and they spend all this time – you know, refusing to help the President deal with these 50,000 kids."

Useful stooges like Mathews have no idea what this fight is about. Or, maybe he does and is part of the strategy to import poverty into America. Either way, he is a useful fool.

We have nations all over the globe where children are living in hell holes. All these nations are socialist dictatorships. Perhaps best the way to remedy the poverty is for nations to adapt a democratic system that works. Maybe those exported kids would have figured that out and would have changed their country for the better. But, that is not what this issue is about. It is about importing poverty and the attendant result of a made-to-order electorate that votes Democrat. Do they think we are so stupid?

Apples and giraffes. I'm re-reading the whole Wheel of Time series in which each of the 14 books averages around 700-800 pages.

[Misterioso]

When did you read it and why?

[2ndDivisionVet]

Years ago because a lot of people were talking about it. Unlike most cases, I recommend the movie.

[Busko]

From the mouth of the slobbering assclown mouth piece of the fascist party.

[jospehm20]

Matthews is all ass.

[A Navy Vet]

I doubt that.

[tophat9000]

Vs Christy and MSNBC that treats The Little Red Book of Mao as Their Little Red Book of Mao?

[jsanders2001]

Hey Matthews, has it EVER occurred to you that 0 brought the brownskins to the U.S. to seal the deal on Democrats having control of elections for decades to come and that the children were just a psychological ploy to keep us from turning them around and sending their butts back across the border, and furthermore that ole Barry might not be using that money for what he says he is?

[A Navy Vet]

"From the mouth of the slobbering assclown mouth piece of the fascist party."

You apparently didn't get his meaning or you are so biased in your thinking. The poster you are denigrating is a true blue Patriot.

[reefdiver]

Barney Frank and Cris Dodd , Their mortgage fiasco lead to the melt down.

Deregulation had nothing to do with it

That is a fact

[PieterCasparzen]

I think he was talkin about Christine Matthews.
