Last night I watched an old interview of William F. Buckeley as he trashed Rand. Then I remembered how this craven, Ivy League Fraud trashed and fired one of his writer employees, Joseph Sobran at National Review, who would not be a part of the National Review Israeli Amen Corner.
What everyone misses when they trash this prescient woman is the individual human, unfettered by the wealth confiscation of the Leviathan is free to exhibit charity to others based upon his/her financial circumstances and obligations. Granted, Rand was an atheist. But Christian charity in America and even England was ongoing for decades prior to the turn of the last century. It was not a mandated FEDGOV program. Think of Jane Adams-Hull House. Think of William Booth and the Salvation Army, and many others. I still will refer to the soliloquies of the characters in ATLAS SHRUGGED when some whining, clueless local collectivist fool cheerleads the latest “public school levy.”
If you take the previous article about the implosion of USTs seriously, Atlas is indeed going to shrug. And those of us who have held things together and see their honest, hard-earned wealth confiscated through inflation or by our corrupt political system will “Go Galt” in their own ways, using their own plans and tactics. Bleib ubrig.
