I suspect the reason is simpler — Libs are thinking it’s unfair to put up a VP candidate that’s actually read a book that doesn’t have pop-up pictures....
LOL! I needed that...
I've finally made the time to read Atlas Shrugged. What's so prescient about the story is that Washington has been modeling all of their policies after those of Wesley Mouch, Dr. Floyd Ferris, Balph Eubank, et al.
What's really disturbing is that ObaMao seems to have read the book and concluded that Mouch was on target with his philosophy and policies. The big mistake on the part of the collectivist efforts are:
1) The United Sates is too spread out. What's needed is population density so that social consensus can be regulated. (e.g. UN's Agenda 21)
2) The effort didn't have enough global coordination and control to enforce social justice. (UN's Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST) and Small Arms Treaty, etc.)
3) There were too many individual freedoms. As Dr. Pritchett said:
"But I believe I made it clear that I am in favor of it, because I am in favor of a free economy. A free economy cannot exist without competition. Therefore, men must be forced to compete. Therefore, we must control men in order to force them to be free."
