...a battle royale between a great mind, and the supposition of a great mind. Reason and logic clashing with "hope and change".
Let's see how many rounds this fight goes....the occasional quote from the great Ayn Rand will be juxtaposed with some pearl of wisdom from The One (like this one, I guess), and we'll discuss the merits of each.
Other times, it will stand alone as a self-evident rebuke of the policies of our Socialist president and Congress...like this one:
"The skyline of New York is a monument of a splendor that no pyramids or palaces will ever equal or approach. But America's skyscrapers were not built by public funds nor for a public purpose: they were built by the energy, initiative and wealth of private individuals for personal profit. And, instead of impoverishing the people, these skyscrapers, as they rose higher and higher, kept raising the people's standard of living ..."
-Ayn Rand
What has socialism ever built, besides legacies of hopelessness, poverty, and despair?
Round 1 to Rand....
If you believe that Obama is a socialist or a leftist then you are not paying attention. If you track his record you will see that Mr. Obama has been as pragmatic and opportunistic as any other president in history. He is a lassiez-faire conservative ala Bill Clinton.
ReplyDeleteAs we have seen with the NY skyline greatest buildings the WTC without the "socialist" defense force that taxpayers pay tons of money to provide, those skyscrapers are only tagets of concrete and steel,
Wait a second. The man who nationalized GM, is about to nationalize healhcare, and refuses to relinquish hold on the banks vai TARP is a "a lassiez-faire conservative" ???
ReplyDeleteWell, someone has not been paying attention. Or is driving with blinders on...
