I don’t have a copy.
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’
>> ‘Like It’s the Little Red Book of Mao’
Mao is in your camp, ya’ Leftist pig.
Never read it. Of course, Matthews enjoys talking out of his ass.
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?
From the mouth of the slobbering assclown mouth piece of the fascist party.
I doubt that.
Vs Christy and MSNBC that treats The Little Red Book of Mao as Their Little Red Book of Mao?
Deregulation had nothing to do with it
That is a fact
Hey Chrissy big freeking difference!
Mao’s Red Book was an instruction manual, Atlas Shrugged is a Cautionary Tale of what happens when large chunks of Mao’s Red Book are implemented.
Again...
Atlas Shrugged - Cautionary Tale, not an instruction Manual.
Mao’s Red Book - Instruction Manual of Tyranny.
Farthest I ever got with Ann Rand is her Wikipedia page.
Man, this is the blind leading the lame in a discussion of politics and economics. It’s fascinating in the way a car wreck or freak show is.
He’s just upset about his books being treated as the bargain bin toilet paper they are by everyone.
It's funny that he's comparing that book to a communist book when she is the product of escaping the Bolshevik Revolution. Looks like Matthews just discovered her as well.
Let's talk about Rules for Radical, Mr. Hissy fit.
I attended the very first Tea Party rally/protest in Arizona at the State Capitol on April 15th, 2009. I carried a sign that said “Going Galt” which got lots of comments and high-fives. I am still a Tea Party, Don’t Tread On Me type of guy. I’ve read Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged three times. I will admit I breezed through the Galt speech so as not to get bogged down and I don’t necessarily agree with Rand’s objectivism theory, but the rest of the book is very engrossing and tracks what is going on in this country right now. I no longer have a copy, having given my last one away to a friend to read.
Atlas Shrugged turned me into a conservative. The first time I read it was in college in the 60’s for a course assignment and I didn’t understand most of it. Not enough real life experiences yet to grasp what was being said. I didn’t understand the difference between a conservative and a liberal back then. The second time I read it, was when I was finishing up my tour in the Air Force and I enjoyed the book. I realized I was a conservative (or at least a smaller government libertarian). The last time I read it was during Obama’s first term and I could see exact parallels with Rand’s novel and Obama’s reign of terror as a radical left president.
I don’t consider Atlas Shrugged as a bible for my politics but it convinced me that liberalism was full of holes and unintended consequences of not-so-well-thought-out- policies. Do I like the novel? Yes. Do I subscribe to Rand’s ideology 100%? No. I don’t think it is necessary to denigrate completely everything one does not like parts of. Take the good and ignore the negatives. But as with most things in life, AS has its value and contributes its part in explaining the differences between the moochers and the producers. America’s problem now is how to reduce the moochers and enhance the producers.
He is getting the TEA Party confused with libertarians or something. They just make stuff up.
