They’ve really been trying to slander Ayn Rand lately.

The movie "Atlas Shrugged" has the Left reeling. They fear it's potential spotlighting of the current regime. Check out Rotten Tomatoes.com and check the rating by critics. It's 6%. That is the lowest I've ever seen for a movie on RT. The audience rating on the same site is at 85%. I've likewise never seen that type of disparity. The commies are in full assault mode.

If Rand really was more like these liberals in worldview than she was like conservatives, one would think liberals would be loving Rand to death instead of bad mouthing her at every turn.

Maybe it’s because Atlas Shrugged (the book or movie) doesn’t say a lot about religion.

Either that or it's a really bad movie, on the level of Battlefield Earth or worse. Rand's novels are reminiscent of Hubbard's, both in content and terrible writing style. Johnnie Goodboy Tyler is kind of like a cave-man John Galt, no? Hubbard was also a satanist and a cult leader, by the way.

Think of the story, and think of who the critics are -

Was not Ellsworth Toohey in the Fountainhead a “critic”?

Most of these “critics” probably couldn’t change their own oil. Nuf said.
