just goes to show the ‘gate keepers’ are progressives and they are doing everything they can to keep anything like Atlas Shrugged from getting to the public

in this case, the ‘gate keepers’ would be critics.

in schools, it’s the teachers.

*************************

You are absolutely correct.

Buchanan was pilloried by the voodoo Republicans when he said that the nation is involved in a culture war. However, he could not have been more correct in that declaration. The weapon used to invade our homes, strip our property, reduce our liberty and now even loot our medicine cabinets is indeed the choke hold on our culture, and we are indeed facing nothing less than a war in the full press cultural attack from the left.

Our principal problem is our own submission to the left, and their knowing quisling allies among the voodoo Republicans. Recognize them as the malignant enemies that they are, and resist them. They are our enemy, and this is a war.

There is -nothing- they will not take away from us if we yield that power to them, and that power is yielded at the cultural level first, and then the laws reflect the culture.

“Did you really think we want those laws observed?” said Dr. Ferris. “We want them to be broken. You’d better get it straight that it’s not a bunch of boy scouts you’re up against... We’re after power and we mean it... There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What’s there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt. Now that’s the system, Mr. Reardon, that’s the game, and once you understand it, you’ll be
much easier to deal with.”
(Ayn Rand, ‘Atlas Shrugged’ 1957)

The gate keepers are communists. The government and the media are overrun with them.
