I’ve had the flu for the past few days. Haven’t been online. This reminds me that the left hates those who are succesful. So a Girls Basketball team beats another team 100-0. You don’t condemn the winners, their league had no mercy rule, they were only playing by the rules that were set up.
Its the same in everything. The successful are scorned. They often attacked Bill Gates and he’s one of them, just successful in business.
They want failure. They want to subsidize failure, like with the never-ending bailouts.
Please add me to you ping list. I just re-read Atlas a couple months ago. It’s ‘creepy’ how accurate a 60 year old story is relative to present day. I’ll finish reading the thread, and make any comments as appro......
Thanks, Indy
I just finished this book. I read it in college and thought I would dust it off. I loved it, again.
It occurs to me that Reardon’s wife and brother are cut from the same cloth as well as his mother. There is always something profoundly disturbing about the selfishness and jealousy that drives those surrounding Reardon. They despise Reardon for surpassing them or resent them for not paying them enough attention. The biggest slap in the face was when Philip didn’t want his organization to be associated with Reardon even though he was helping to fund it. They want Reardon to submit to their whims while simultaneously leaching off of his success. At the same time they derisively belittle his success to inflate their own importance and the appearance of moral superiority. The Left always gets a lot of mileage out of that one.
