objectivism is complete shit. I hate popular philosophy in general: Its always completely unconsidered, and full of hyperbole

I agree with what JBJ said. Two things always come to mind when I think of AR: ego and talent. You can be very talented and still be wrong. We all have a tendency to adopt an idea of how the world works and then try to fit it into no matter what. Its a good policy to keep your ego in check and try not to judge others. I think thats why most great authors make observations of the human condition and avoid political based messages. One can't help think less of her otherwise well written novels.

We've got Chico Xavier here in Brazil and it's the very same thing. This is the one thing that makes me wary of writing fiction.

Yeah, except of course its tax cuts, bush’s wars & the economic downturn that is responsible for most of the yearly deficits. But, I wouldn’t expect you to appreciate these facts.

rrrrrrright. tax cuts are to blame. yeah it's definitely not the $3+ trillion spending budgets under Obama (or tripling the deficit) that are putting us on the road to ruin and affecting the economic downturn. lol at still blaming Bush after we've had Democrats controlling the finances since 2006. Obama's failed stimulus alone cost more than Iraq war spending... and all previous wars combined.

Dude, even Obama's biggest liberal NY Times superfan Andrew Sullivan said this today, after Obama released his new record breaking $3.7 trillion spending spree budget!

quote:
To all those under 30 who worked so hard to get this man elected, know this: he just screwed you over. He thinks you’re fools. Either the US will go into default because of Obama’s cowardice, or you will be paying far far more for far far less because this president has no courage when it counts. He let you down. On the critical issue of America’s fiscal crisis, he represents no hope and no change. Just the same old Washington politics he once promised to end.

Senators have to lead, because this president is too weak, too cautious, too beholden to politics over policy to lead. In this budget, in his refusal to do anything concrete to tackle the looming entitlement debt, in his failure to address the generational injustice, in his blithe indifference to the increasing danger of default, he has betrayed those of us who took him to be a serious president prepared to put the good of the country before his short term political interests. Like his State of the Union, this budget is good short term politics but such a massive pile of fiscal bullshit it makes it perfectly clear that Obama is kicking this vital issue down the road.



One of the lowlights from his new budget? $26.3 trillion in new debt...repeat, new debt alone over the next decade. I'm going to keep posting these inconvenient graphs for you, since you don't want to accept the real facts:








See the yellow line? That's what Obama proposes to cut... further proof he doesn't give a fuck about the economy.

And just for an added bonus for laughter at those Obama supporters who still stand by their man no matter how much he lies... Today he unveiled his massive record breaking budget, with a $1.65 TRILLION budget deficit for 2011.


And here is Candidate Obama in 2008 blasting Bush's $500 billion budget deficit:




Sort of makes you long for the days of that kind of fiscal responsibility, doesn't it? Go ahead lefties, do what you do best... attack the messenger rather than the message.

Never bothered with reading Ayn Rand. I don't like reading ideas that are expressed through novels and such because things just fly through my head. I'm a fan of clear and boring writing. From what I read in her wikipedia, it seems like all she did was support libertarianism and people ate this up like it was a new thing. How uninspiring. Correct me if i'm wrong.
