Yeah, Mencken didn't pull any punches. One reason I hold him in high esteem, myself.

Ayn Rand is as bad as any Walmart, Koch Brother Christian.

In 1934, when she was in her late 20s, Rand first wrote “Ideal” as a work of fiction. But Rand was dissatisfied with it and set it aside.

The fact that even Rand was dissatisfied with it points to some really outrageous crime against literature in the making. But I bet the publishers are already horny when they think about their bank accounts.

Ayn Rand is as bad as any Walmart, Koch Brother Christian.

After having spent her life railing against government programs to help "moochers", she ended up, yes, going on Social Security and Medicaid.

And yet, Atlas Shrugged is allegedly the second best-selling book in the States, after the Bible.

Well, they've been mass producing the fucking bible for 600 years. I wonder how many people have actually bothered to read the fucking thing.

At least I can see conservatards jacking off while reading Rand.

The hypocrisy is that they whack off over her economic views but condemn atheists as evil.

Difference is when I agree with a theist or atheist, I know how to separate issues. Ayn to me isn't "evil" because she was godless. Anyone who holds a "fuck the poor" mentality is going to be on my shit list regardless.

I find this to be much more disturbing than any fictional literary corpse by Ayn Rand. This book gets a perfect five star rating on amazon.

Why businessmen need philosophy. The capitalist's guide to the ideas behind Ayn Rand's ,Atlas shrugged

With government and the media blaming big business for the world economic crisis, capitalism needs all the help it can get. It's the perfect time for this collection of essays presenting a philosophical defense of capitalism by Ayn Rand and other Objectivist intellectuals. Essential and practical, Why Businessmen Need Philosophy reveals the importance of maintaining philosophical principles in the corporate environment at all levels of business from daily operations to executive decisions, and provides the tactical and tactful rational thinking required to defend companies from ideological attacks.

So you can see with which kind of mindset people have to cope in the present corporate world. Fuck everyone, there's only me, me, me....

[Alex K]

"defense from ideological attacks" is such a charmingly Orwellian term.

I welcome the news that there will be a "new" Ayn Rand book on the shelves. I've been meaning to buy a new boat anchor.

Why do atheists seem too not like ayn rand she's one of us, shouldn't we love her and consider that although she wasn't always correct she was a great atheistic writer, and philosopher???

How did right wing Christians steal objectivism???
