Rand would have championed homosexual “marriage.”

Ping.

All of them are good, thanks.

I am done with the monster of “we,” the word of serfdom, of plunder, of misery, falsehood and shame. And now I see the face of god, and I raise this god over the earth, this god whom men have sought since men came into being, this god who will grant them joy and peace and pride. This god, this one word: “I.”

I don’t know the whole quote but it says something about “The moochers, when deprived of their free handouts, will perish which is as it should be.” or something similar to that.

That one is my favorite.

I often use the quotes below to impugn the words of Je$$e Jack$on.

"Any African-American who votes Republican is a turncoat."
~Je$$e Jack$on

"I refuse to have my views dictated to me as if I were an intellectual slave."~Justice Clarence Thomas

"The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities."
~Ayn Rand

[fwdude]

Nearly every quote by Rand can be completely repudiated by the only Author we should ultimately listen to:

14) "I swear by my life, and my love of it, that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine."

I am crucified with Christ: neverthless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. (Galatians 2:20)

Compare quote #2 to “you didn't build that” by 0bama.

[GraceG]

“The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities.”

This destroys the whole, “we are for minorities” narrative of the left.

[GSWarrior]

I’m partial to “check your premises.”

My fave (and my new tag line) is #6

[SENTINEL]

Ah, this reminds me of the VAST difference between a chrony capitalist/libertarian and a Christian.

“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.” (Atlas Shrugged 1957)

[GraceG]

The best Ayn Rand quotes are the short ones, the long ones are good too but go right over the head of the libtards reading them.

Ayn Rand could have used some lessons in brevity.

[Vinnie]

They are all god.
I esp. like #1, #3, #6

[SMARTY]

They’re great, thanks!

"Watch money. Money is the barometer of a society’s virtue. When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion — when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing — when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors — when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don’t protect you against them, but protect them against you — when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice — you may know that your society is doomed. Money is so noble a medium that it does not compete with guns and it does not make terms with brutality. It will not permit a country to survive as half-property, half-loot."

Needs repeating. Thank you.
