"Atlas Shrugged" is a great book. Not because Ayn Rand was a great writer (she wasn't), and not because the characters are believable (they aren't). It's a great book because it really captured the essence of the Left and their mania for redistribution. The idea that a private developer -- with friends in government -- could just reach out and take property away from a private owner is so totally ludicrous and un-American. And yet, here we are.
The irony is the left has no problem with the "corporate fat cat" taking the little guys property, as long as it is the benevolent government acting as the middle man. I wonder if they would feel the same way if the developer was Haliburton.
And yet, what do we do? Can there be a movement to impeach those justices that are using international law to make decisions OVER AND ABOVE the United States Constitution?
Where is the White House on this? And the only Senator I have heard ANYTHING from is Tom McClintock.
You got that one right! It's a good description of corruption in gov't. You know, a lot of that goes on in Africa and other backward areas. We shouldn't be involved in that practice unless we intend to become backward ourselves.
