Just too good MOrgan! Here is part of that post # 13,tells it exactly like it is. We came to the present corrupt and delusional idiocy precisely and expressly under the banner of government coerced altruism. $16 Trillion in on the books debt; new debt as far as the eye can see at over $1Trillion per year; and unfunded liabilities in excess of 100 Trillion; GDP diving southward; and employment stalled, but the dollar plummeting. American power compromised by budget cuts and whats left squandered in hopeless tactics that omit consideration of victory. We have second rate leaders with third rate minds, devoted to either corruption or psychic payoffs associated with raw power. One senator is famous for wearing tennis shoes, another for being homosexual, one former senator also a former governor most certainly should be in jail for his massive fraud and breach of fiduciary duty, though political connections keep him in freedom months after the cookies were found missing. Harry Reid is a corrupt Las Vegas licensing board hack who played footsie with mobsters, yet some people declare Rand’s characters to be unrealistically drafted, too ‘one dimensional’. The solution to every problem is more collectivism with threat of government force behind it according to our leaders.

Comment 13 is really good.

Wow, post #13 was indeed brilliant. I have all of Rand's work. Rand's defense of Capitalism has no equal. She truly understood the utter evil of collectivism. She knew exactly of the evils we are facing today.

Everyone should indeed read post #13 (relevant to these idiot talking heads this Sunday)... I have reposted below the last paragraph of Gail Wynand's wonderfully insightful post.[with spelling corrections and broken into 3 paragraphs]

This nation and our civilization are rapidly falling away. If you want to know the cause start reading or re - read Ayn Rand. Short term financial gimmicks might stave off flagrant catastrophe for a bit. The parasites are consuming the host and the scavengers are already feeding on Europe, and little is left in the world that looks like enduring civilization. We are Rome before the vandals. It is night in America and the hyenas are in charge.

Be smug as long as you can, elitists, enjoy your privileges and speak dismissively of a genius who called you what you really are. Scoff at her personal failings in order to distract from her ideas, of free men, of a free society, of the nature of value of human achievement.

Raise your flags and make great speeches in honor of everything pointless and continue your headlong rush toward the politically correct society where sodomites, union thugs and the John Edwards of the world are just as or more important than Ford Carnegie and Edison, more important because Jersey Shore and Oprah have become the heart of America’s culture and Jeffrey Sachs an economic guiding light to those in power.
