I found the comments after the article quite amusing. Some of the commenters, self-described liberals, made reference to their seeking to emigrate after the 2004 elections, but stayed here nonetheless. They then go on to say conservatives will become “Galt-like” and will withdraw into themselves. Those commenters could not be more qrong. We are not going to retreat into some shell ande shut out the rest of the world. We are, instead, going to take our country back, even if it means having to trod over the broken and decaying remains of the lunatic left.
grong = wrong
“..over the broken and decaying remains of the lunatic left.”
Thanks for giving me a bright thought picture to envision.
As I was reading those blog comments by the lefties I kept thinking I was at the part early in the book with Hank Rearden and Dagny at the party at Hank’s house when the anti-capitalists were talking about the evils of men in their very pretty, elevated, elitist language. It was truly creeping me out...I could hear Hank’s brother speaking...
Of course “Atlas Shrugged” doesn’t fit perfectly with our society 60 years after it was written. It isn’t meant to -but it does demonstrate the power of the human spirit that exists so beautifully in some of us.
It strikes me as hilarious that libs can talk about how some people are born gay or born some such way that justfies their standards or morality, but when someone is born to be a leader and producer in our capitalist system then that person must surely be a greedy bastard deserving of nothing but scorn. Nice.
