Ayn Rand, the Tea Party, and John Galt
By: Les Carpenter III Rational Nation USA I am a huge advocate of Ayn Rand's philosophy known as objectivism. Her blockbuster novel , Atlas Shrugged, was almost prophetic in it's prediction of our current statist government and the disaster that is our economy today. However, until I ran across the following video on You Tube I never gave much thought to the connection with Rand's philosophy and the Tea Party movement. Given the huge growth of the federal bureaucracy under the statists GWB and BHO it makes perfect sense that Rand, were she alive today, would likely be very supportive of the movement. Perhaps John Galt is working behind the scenes with Tea Party leaders. Cross posted at Left Coast Rebel . Via: Memorandum
