and thinking that Ayn Rand type philosophy is similar to what got us in the banking mess we are in is showing a complete non-understanding of her theories, in fact it is exactly what she was most strongly against that has resulted in the messes we are in :2 cents:

I don't read novels to be presented with theories--I want to be entertained. Ayn Rand should have written philosophy or political theory books, not novels. As a novelist, she gives Karl Marx a run for his money.

That was the whole point of her method for delivery. She wanted to represent the right in the same way that the culture of the left was starting to spread. There was so much leftist propaganda in the 30s and 40s with great authors, playwrights, filmmakers, etc. She was the person who purposely stepped in to fill those shoes for the right.

There's always a resurgence of her popularity any time there's a shift in economic policy in the country. It goes all the way back to the New Deal and probably will continue well into the future. The funniest part today is hearing douchebags like Glen Beck and some of the moral right toting her out like their new hero, even though she was a staunch atheist and very anti-Christian.

And I find it odd that they never mentioned her when their guy was in the white house and carrying out many economic policies that were helping to drive the country into the ground. Suddenly they lose an election and now magically they are offended and worried.

Families like the Rothschilds have been controlling the currency of nations through central banks for centuries now. They are past money, it's about power. Power to rule the entire planet, it's the oldest conquest in the book. They want 80% population reduction and the rest microchipped. Our job is to not let this happen. Call it crazy all you want, it is crazy, and it's all unfolding right before our eyes.
