We are literally living Atlas Shrugged

[Rustic]

Wait...so torture is necessary to get vital information but the ability to descript phones isn't?

Torture of Americans? Absolutely unacceptable (and doesn't happen). Torture of filthy muslims who are not protected by the U.S. Constitution? Hell yes it is vital.

I'm not sure why you find this so perplexing. The U.S. government has no authority over the American people outside of what is described in the U.S. Constitution. So demanding the ability to access my phone, computer, etc. without a warrant - major violation of the 4th Amendment. Torturing idiot muslims? Ok. Even encouraged (by intelligent, informed, patriotic Americans).

Any person should be free from the prospect of torture. That is a human right.

A kidnapper has your child. Information as to the location is on a phone. Now do you want to be able to decrypt it?

hypotheticals do not apply in the real world

The Atlas Shrugged nonsense ended 5 years ago. The movies bombed. The public shrugged because Ayn Rand had nothing to say and the book is just another $.50 yard sale paper weight. Like the Saw Al Inski meme. Nobody cares because no one has ever heard of either of them.

Just like hope and change will be forgotten in all 57 states Under sniperfire...

Torture is wrong and doesn't yield any results says the CIA who tortured people during the Bush regime. Not surprised you've yet to learn a goddamn thing.

Torture is living in a socialist society… You're a stupid fool.

Ever notice that everything for the "public good" always ends with more power for the government and more capability for their intrusion into the lives of citizens? Ayn Rand saw it coming.

Unbreakable encryption poses a threat to public safety that only legislation may be able to address, according to Deputy Atty. Gen. Rod Rosenstein. Strong encryption on smartphones that can't be cracked may call for laws restricting its use, Rosenstein said at a security conference in Utah.

No. Not it doesn't. At all. It doesn't even remotely pose a "threat" to public safety. Quite the contrary, it protects the public.

Legislation on encryption ‘may be necessary,’ deputy attorney general warns

Hahahaha....Ayn Rand couldn't even CONCEIVE of the internet much less cell phones.

She used this to write her books:

You really do reach up your ass every day to find something that might get you a little attention. "Sad."

It won't be long before the internet will be converted into the category of utility, such as water and lights, because paper is going away. And as Ayn Rand preached, it up to the INDIVIDUAL to be responsible for him or herself, and that means using utilities like the internet wisely and taking precautions to guard your privacy.

Oh really? Because that is the exact type of scenario all of the torture festishers use to justify the use of torture.

I "went Galt" about 12 years ago only I called it "retirement".

Liberals thinks they must have total access to all of our communications, health records, movements and even some control over what we are thinking. And no matter what diabolical scheme they come up with to take away all of our rights, they manage to claim that their actions are for the greater good.

If you don't immediately cede your liberty and rights to government; racists will get you, you won't get paid enough, the air will be unfit to breathe, the water will be undrinkable, the food will be poison, the earth will either flood or burn up, Christians won't cater your events, and bigoted countries will continue to have borders and their own governments. Submit now or lose it all. The worst human rights violators at the U.N. are at the ready to help run your life.

Back in 2005, new york times broke the story about dubya's warrentless wiretapping. Its republicans who started it.

A kidnapper has your child. The only way to find their location is to torture the kidnapper. How do you support torture?

Oops...

Yep - a progressive Republican (ie a RINO). And then it was Barack Insane Obama who exponentially expanded it after campaigning on shutting it all down.

 

[P@triot]

Progressives continue to collapse the economy and society with their immature and idiotic power grab under the guise that it’s “fair” or “helpful”.

Leave it to California to come up with the first state-mandated gender quota in U.S. history. California lawmakers voted in favor of a bill that will require companies within the state to have at least one woman on its corporate boards by 2019, and one to three women, depending on the size of the company, by 2021.

If only the shit-hole state of California understood that the government has no authority to tell private industry how to operate.

Glenn: California’s mandatory corporate gender quotas is ‘one step closer to democratic socialism’

The first of the three was the best and it was barely watchable.

 

[JWBooth]

We encourage all Randians to Go Galt, and thus remove their parasitical selves from decent society.

However, they won't.

First, they don't have any miracle technology that Rand had to imagine to dream up to make her kook society actually work. Nor was it ever explained who would clean the toilets in the land of capitalist heroes who spent their days dreaming up miracle alloys.

Second, the Randians know nobody would miss them. Since they offer nothing to society, everyone would be happy to see them go. And then when they had to come crawling back, nobody would welcome them.

WTF are you babbling about?

 

[Lesh]

Hey John Galt...hit the road.

No one will miss you

 

[P@triot]

Hey John Galt...hit the road. No one will miss you

All of you left-wing parasites will. It’s the same reason none of you “socialists” move to Cuba. Once you don’t have conservatives to mooch off of, you’re fucked.

The first one was phenomenal. Part II sucked. Never could find Part III. I can’t believe they failed to secure deals with the same actors.

 

[Stormy Daniels]

Ah yes, Atlas Shrugged. The make believe fantasy of a lunatic kvnt that teaches other lunatics that when you don't like the results of democracy the only acceptable solution is to say "Fuck you, Imma go play by myself and break all my toys before I leave!"

In other words, you’re panic-stricken over the thought of not being able to mooch off of conservatives?

(Psst...nobody “broke” anything when they left in Atlas Shrugged. Just like here in then real world, government lead by idiot lefties “broke” everything)
