Howard Roark Speech - The Fountainhead

Perhaps President Obama, Pelosi, Reid et all should listen to Howard Roark's reasoned speech on the merits of individualism and productive achievement. But then again the three of them are kindred spirits with Ellsworth Toohey. There is little hope they would ever understand.

"Whatever their future, at the dawn of their lives, men seek a noble vision of man's nature and of life's potential." Ayn Rand

    I agree, but I think we're expecting too much if we expect that bunch to look past their own greed and lust for power.

    Excellent point, and I am sure your analysis is correct. But we can always hope.

    Although hope and faith has a certain way of disappointing doesn't it?.

Is Our Democratic Republic At Risk From Forces Both Foreign and Within?...

We are moving this running post up to front page this evening where it will remain until January 3'rd 2017 when we will return to single posts, hopefully on a daily basis. There is much to do in getting the TRUTH out about Donald J Trump, a dishonest, totally self absorbed, and dangerous individual. He may be the president on January 20th but that does not mean thoughtful and concerned people shouldn't challenge Trump at every turn and fight his agenda whenever it runs contrary to their interests and those of their family. More to come. BTW, be sure to read today's entry, 12/28/16, below. this is just one example AND, it is just the beginning. You've probably noticed the brief posts of late. Posts with very short commentary by the weblolg administrator followed by an article that goes into the subject in much greater detail. This has been done purposefully following the rancorous 2016 election, and because its Christmas Time, soon to be a New Year.  This posting f...

More From The Lincoln Project On Our Liar In Chief...

Image
New from The Lincoln Project - June 9, 2020- Contrary to all evidence, since his inauguration, President Donald J. Trump has been lying about the size of the crowds that he says have come out to cheer him on. Finally, this week, in cities across America, from coast to coast, and small towns in between, crowds even larger than he ever imagined possible have gathered — not to cheer Trump on — but in solidarity with one message: It’s time for him to go. Donald Trump, the American people are speaking directly to you with a simple message: It’s time to start packing your bags Indeed Donald J. Trump has told thousands of documented lies since assuming office. He is, a pathological liar as well as a sociopath. His lack of leadership, corruption, divisiveness, and non existent emotional intelligence is appalling as well as dangerous. Trump, in 3 1/2 years has shown America in real time what a corrupt, inept, and egregiously incompetent man looks like. The crowds now filling the stree...

Post Election Musings...

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Liberty -vs- Tyranny The week certainly has been interesting to say the least. Interesting but really a week with no surprises and no real change. rEpublicans, having failed to successfully make the case for sending Obama back to Chicago are already busy trying to figure out "What Went Wrong." Good luck with that. You guys had four years to figure it out after 2008 and you simply put the same suit back up with a different caricature filling it out. Again the American people rejected the candidate. Oops. Better luck in 2016. People won't be expecting much though. Other than maybe watching the rEpublican tent grow smaller while listening to Limbaugh, Hannity, Rove, and the rest of the talking heads of the rEpublican good old boy network power structure. It will be fun watching the party whose election it was lose in 2012 try and come up with a winning strategy for 2016. Suggestion, change not only your suit but your glasses as ...

Iraq and the Obama Almost Strategy...

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Purveyor of Truth President Obama, in his signature style is taking quarter measures to prevent immediate genocide by the ISIS in Iraq. Neither Obama or the western democracies are will to admit that the terrorist networks that adhere to the cult of Islam are determined to take control of the Middle East as well as the entire globe. Until they do, and take the necessary military action to crush every single one of the filthy lice ridden barbaric terrorist organizations this problem will forever be with us all. Even democratic Senator Feinstein recognizes ‘ It takes an army to defeat an army .' However she stopped short of addressing the core of the problem or offering any serious alternatives to the President's response. The Washington Post - PRESIDENT OBAMA was right to order military action to prevent a potential genocide in northern Iraq and to stop forces of the al-Qaeda-derived Islamic State from advancing on Baghdad or the...
