Ayn Rand was so on the money. I read Atlas Shrugged for the first time during the '08 campaign. The whole beginning is almost verbatim what's happening today and the quote you gave sums it up.

After Friday's dueling Narcissist presser I really am fearful of where our country's headed.

With each passing day, Atlas Shrugged is becoming less of a novel and more of a documentary. I make it a point to re-read it every couple of years or so.

Maybe its time to stop being fearful of where we are heading and look at it as a necessary pothole in the ground that we all have to pitch in to fill it...

I’m going to start looking at our future with more concern and do what I can to encourage a little bit more than just civic duty at the polls...

We need to ALL be on our elected officials arses telling them what we think of some of the actions (bills) they are proposing and debating at the time...Don’t let up for a second...Now is not the time to be resting on our laurels thinking we are going to be smooth sailing till 2012...That attitude is what got us the results starting in 2004, ‘06 and the coup de grau in ‘08...

If anyone thinks their job is over and done with at the polls, I have no use for you, and neither does the rest of the country...

The people who started this Representative Republic weren’t just sitting around talking about it and writing some pretty good stuff on paper...While some were doing that, others were molding musket balls...And that is a figure of speech (from a certain point of view)...

While we have in place some folks who are yammering up the issues now on our side of the political pendulum swing...What we need to be doing is keeping the pressure on those we know who will waiver and not be doing the things within the confines of the Constitution...

If they need to be branded for not doing so...Well, so be it...That opportunity comes around every two years...There are a lot more of us than them...
