Some of the right's leading political and media lights have heaped praise upon Rand. The author of the Republicans' new budget plan to gut Medicare and Medicaid, Rep. Paul Ryan, has said Rand is the reason he entered politics

During her lifetime, Rand advocated "the virtue of selfishness," declared altruism to be "evil," opposed Medicare and all forms of government support for the middle-class and the poor, and condemned Christianity for advocating love and compassion for the less fortunate

I've been telling the John Galt peeps this for years.

Why no mention of the fact that Anton LaVey actually modeled his brand of Satanism off of her objectivism philosophy? True fact as well, that a lot of super Christian, Randians, don't know.

She advocates for a cult of greed, selfishness, arrogance, egoism, the survival and dominance by the brutal using any method. Of course this is all couched in terminology that is self aggrandizing and politically correct.

A herald of the current age, we will get to see it's terrible fruition and the everlasting abandonment and condemnation of its destructive tenets.

Rand is the greatest political philosopher of the 20th century. Would recommend everyone read her books.

Music by Lee and Lifeson / Lyrics by Neil Peart

With acknowledgement to the genius of Ayn Rand.

I. Overture (4:32)
"And the meek shall inherit the earth."

II. Temples of Syrinx (2:13)

... "The massive grey walls of the Temples rise from the heart of every Federation city. I have always been awed by them, to think that every single facet of every life is regulated and directed from within! Our books, our music, our work and play are all looked after by the benevolent wisdom of the priests..."

We've taken care of everything
The words you read
The songs you sing
The pictures that give pleasure
To your eye

One for all and all for one
Work together
Common sons
Never need to wonder
How or why

We are the Priests
Of the Temples of Syrinx
Our great computers
Fill the hallowed halls
We are the Priests
Of the Temples of Syrinx
All the gifts of life
Are held within our walls

Look around this world we made
Equality
Our stock in trade
Come and join the Brotherhood
Of Man
What a nice contented world
Let the banners
Be unfurled
Hold the Red Star proudly
High in hand

Yes, she intentionally pushed "alarming" ideas like "altruism is evil" to scare silly people brainwashed by our socialist MSM and academia such as yourself, and to garner attention.

But of course, anyone who isn't complete simpleton like you, could readily discern what she is getting at. That those who most loudly claim that they are oh so altruistic, are really the least altruistic and most selfish people. She completely understood the effectiveness and use of irony. She is not altruistic, as she is meta-altruisitic.

You're being facetious right? I mean... I mean... that's some murky soup right there.

"Meta-altruisitic"? What a pathetic pseudo intellectual hogwash.

In a prefect mix of irony and hypocrisy she signed up for Social Security and Medicare.

And you reichwingers claim yourself being Christians while ignoring Jesus message on love, compassion, forgiveness and tolerance? Repulsive.
