Ayn Rand coming to the big screen!

Quote from TGregg:

Uh uh. It would end their careers. And I honestly can understand why somebody who has a career that brings in that kinda cash would be reluctant to end it, so I'm not insulting them by any means. Look what happened to Heston, man he couldn't get an acting job in a crowd scene.

It's pretty funny that the left continues to whine about McCarthy, but right wing actors are shoved out in the cold.

Make no mistake, anybody that attached their names to a true Atlas Shrugged movie would see their careers end. Other than those like James Taggert and those sort.

Hmm, I thought liberals were about peace and love and openess. I thought they didn't judge others. I thought they were about artistic expression over oppression? Hmm, I'll have to ask Zzz and have him clarify for me. I'm very confused. :D

What about the poverty tail? Do they enjoy that?

Believe it or not, many enjoy the long ride down the poverty scale. Most my poor friends get drunk, get high, and sit around and do nothing all day. And they seem to love it! My rich friends work 80 hours a week, never see their friends, never have fun, and live under incredible amounts of stress and pressure.

Ahh, the poetic irony of it all. :D

Bastards! Living on the backs of the poor. Of course, they pay taxes, and the poor get tax credits and welfare and foodstamps and aid to dependent children and housing support and what not, but still! How dare they flaught their wealth!
 
What? No Ricter? It's been several minutes, I hope he has not suffered a brain rupture from having to think for a moment.

Ahh well, I'm sure his buddy Doggie Doo will be right . . . errr . . . behind him. One can always tell what a strong leader one is by the number of hounds from the other side baying behind him. Why, just look at the whiners on this thread for example.

The funny thing is I'm trying to figure out a post about how I agree with you about famlies being socialist in the other thread, but every version I write is wrong, darn it.

Looking forward to reading it, but that will have to be tomorrow. Pleasant dreams, ya right-wingnut.
 
just done reading Atlas Shrugged centennial edition... extraordinary long & wordy work of touching naivete... its amusing how her heroes and herself are so obviously driven by blinding passion & faith in their simplistic creed and hierarchy of values, and not by the mere and limited tools of reason nor purpose in fact, and yet fail to recognize that fact... and its ultimate consequences... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....... :p :p :p

in terms of inspiration and evocative power, its no match for Norman Spinrad's "Iron Dream" for instance http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Spinrad nor for any works from Nietzche etc...

but she definitely has the 'white american dream' covered :D
