Ayn Rand Kids

[KNB]

I'm not so much a child of Ayn Rand... more a child of Robert Heinlein...

but it all comes from the same place...

the urge to do whatever the **** you wanna do... just so long as you don't directly **** up anyone else's life...

I challenge anyone in here to tell me the fault in this way of thinking...

That way of thinking is wrong because Ayn Rand expressed a philosophy that does not care if anyone else's life gets fucked up. The richest people on Earth have made their fortunes by ******* the world up. They do what they wanna do, regardless of whether a rainforest disappears, a river becomes flammable, the oceans fill with trash, or the pollution from their Chinese factories can be seen from space.

They also start wars over lies to get at more fossil fuels which make the 1% richer while polluting the planet more.

**** Ayn Rand and anyone who believes her shit.

The way it's supposed to work in a free society is that I can do whatever I wanna do as long as it doesn't **** up someone else's life and/or property... including air, water, noise, etc...

'n if I do **** up someone else's life and/or property in those terms, I'll stand to get sued 'n called before the court system...

tell me how this wouldn't work...

Ayn Rand didn't believe any of that shit. She was all for contamination and misery if it turned a profit for herself. She was not an intellectual, a trailblazer, or a brilliant writer. She was an opportunistic **** who died on welfare. **** Ayn Rand. She couldn't get a following in Russia because she was a moron, so she found an audience in anti-Russia, pro-free-rein capitalist America.

I know how some of you Conservatives on this forum love Mencken quotes. This is my favorite:

"No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the public."

That describes Ayn Rand, and the GOP.

 

[O.R.I.O.N]

George Orwell is more my style. I never read Ayn Rand's books.

I enjoyed Animal Farm quite a bit. Never could get through 1984.

 

[O.R.I.O.N]

Savitri Devi is good as well.

Yo K, what is your favorite pastime?

Is it counting the hairs in Karl Marx's beard?

Read The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran.

We need each other. Period.

Yes. We need each other to mind our own business.

Agreed... Time and time again collectivism has been proven as a fraudulent failure, in fact it is nothing but chaff. Their flaccid and egregious ideas spring from their utopian desires... they are incapable of ratiocinating.

 

[Dot Com]

Were he not an establishment neoconservative, he would not have been on the ticket.

It really is just that simple.

Virtually EVERY Repub relies on the Pentagon & their def contractors as their campaign slush fund. Tell me something I don't know.

Virtually EVERY dumb-shit lib parrots crap like this... as if the Dems aren't guilty of the same thing...

No wonder Repubs, like Ryan for instance are Randians.

Ayn Rand - RationalWiki

There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.
—John Rogers

Ayn Rand was a Russian atheist,[2] the author of vast doorstop-sized tomes like Atlas Shrugged and the ripped-off biography The Fountainhead, and other thick, boring books espousing, essentially, psychotic libertarian themes and ideology

Ryan maybe familiar with Ayn Rand but he is not a Randian.

Just out of curiosity, and this is a very real question, where in the heck did all you Ayn Rand kids come from? How did you bump into her? What did she write that so resonates with you?

Seeing the the United States Government bears no resemblance to Ayn Rand's ideology, I wonder why this question peaked your curiosity? There obviously can't be that many Ayn Rand's children out there.

Is the NSA an Ayn Rand philosophy?

Is the NDAA an Ayn Rand philosophy?

Is the Aiding and Abetting Al Qaeda in Syria based on an Ayn Rand philosophy?

Is the Obamacare an Ayn Rand philosophy?

Yes to all of those because they all benefit the 1%.

So do highways and railroads. Does that mean their based on Ayn Rand philosophies?

Also, since all these things happened under Obama's Reign, you claiming Obama is a devout follower of Ayn Rand?

he REQUIRED his interns to read her novels smart guy. Tell me you weren't aware of this. Are you a Ryan man?

Paul Ryan and Ayn Rand - The Washington Post

Ryan has referenced Rand repeatedly over the course of her career, saying her writings got him into economics and policy. Ryan told the New Yorker recently that he has been reading Rand since high school; it was “Atlas Shrugged” that got him interested in economics. In March of 2003, Ryan told the Weekly Standard he was still a huge fan.

“I give out ‘Atlas Shrugged’ as Christmas presents, and I make all my interns read it,” he said. “Well... I try to make my interns read it.”

You were saying?

 

[KNB]

No, I'm pretty sure roads existed before Ayn Rand.

 

[The2ndAmendment]

No, I'm pretty sure roads existed before Ayn Rand.

I'm pretty sure espionage existed, and warantless searches also existed before Ayn Rand, ever heard of Royal Writs of Assistance (General Search Warrants).

You're such a moron.

I AM saying that Paul "TARP" Ryan is not a Randian.

Well you need to inform him.

 

[The2ndAmendment]

Life must be great for the Progressives, while we're all worried about the NSA, the NDAA and Gun control, their worst problem is a woman named Ayn Rand who has no impact upon the institutions of American culture.

What drugs are they using?
