1. I'm so glad my adblocker prevented me from hearing that. Was it as disgusting as I imagine?
Because I have a very active imagination...

10. Yes -- putting Rand & Atlas Shrugged on a pedestal of Morality is disgusting
The main reason I posted this is that I was debating a RWer in an open forum about Rand's influence on the Republican Party. He wasn't defending Rand, but was hotly disputing that Paul Ryan was a Rand acolyte. Once I posted this video, he stopped responding (f'n coward).

8. Republicon FatCat Socialists already have their beer and travel money
so they don't give a crap about you getting yours

At some point, you are going to have to reckon with the fugly truth

But you should know, everyone over here -- at least on Friday nights -- thinks you probably have a point

5. Stupid bastard. The John Gault character hated government and particularly its leaders.
Rand would have written Ryan into her book as a bad guy.

What a simp.

6. Yes he would have been one of those Nasty Bureaucrats in the Fountainhead
destroying Howard Roark's masterpiece. And if Bureaucrat Ryan had a wife, Ayn Rand would make sure Roark fucked her.

Those novels are hysterical, in both senses of the word.
