What is confusing to me is why this concept is hard for Liberals to comprehend.

Because their personal feelings are paramount, and the concept hurts their feelings? Everything for these people has to be filtered to the prism of their “compassion”!

Agreed, it’s a fun experience to go from “big baggy monster” reads to something straight to the point like Meditations by Aurelius.

Newt described Trump as the Anti-Galt. Whereas Galt retreated into a mountain fastness, Trump has advanced and actively engaged the opposition. There is also the difference between Trump’s optimism and obvious enjoyment of people and the rather dyspeptic, sneering tone that characterizes Galt.

It stands to reason that since she was an “ugly satanic hag” she couldn’t possibly have written anything worth reading.

How much time do you spend reading Helen Thomas or Hillary Clinton?

Well, why did you read it???

Generally the only way to get a sensible person to read Rand is to dupe him or her into it. She's great! She's the best! Your sh*ts will smell like pine-sol after! She's the greatest philosopher of all time!! Galt's speech is the least boring 100 page idiotic rant ever! The Fountainhead is even better than Battlefield Earth!!

please, satanists saying they admire and draw from Rand makes her a satanist is equivalent to saying Trump is a KKK Neo-NAZI because some of them voted for him...

Haha. No. There's a reason why Satanists are inspired by Rand rather than by the writings of, say, St. Francis of Assisi.

I don’t think I’ve read anything those ugly hags have written, but that’s not the reason.

Seriously ? She railed against government benefits programs, but after being forced to contribute to Social Security and Medicare for 40 years she went ahead and collected the money she was due from Social Security ?

Oh, the horrors ! That is a pretty weak reason for calling someone a “welfare queen”. It is a lame excuse even to claim she “lived on government assistance”.

I reserve those terms for people collecting welfare, food stamps, housing assistance, medicaid, etc. Not the insurance benefits they paid for.

Come now, you aren't avoiding them just because they are ugly satanic hags, are you? That would be shallow. You should first spend a good chunk of your life reading their works the way your friendly neighborhood LDSer tries to get you to do with the Book of Mormon. Slowly and meditatively. Pondering every word. And only after that may you decide that it was a waste of time because they are ugly satanic hags.

If you read the novel, you understand the speech. A is A is the only thing it adds to the story, to make it clear that Rand said A is A and it will always be A even if you call it B or C.

Ethan, you’re a funny guy. Two questions: (1) Did you see the Drudge header this morning? (2) Do you have any friends?

Except:

The day of the election, Bridgewater predicted markets around the world would tank if Trump won, according to an investor note viewed by Business Insider. Markets have since rallied, hitting all time highs.

So, I am curious how they were positioned at the time.

If you think Galt was boring and stupid you must never have heard Obama or Clinton.
