AYN RAND’s message to the GOP CANDIDATES

Even more relevant than when she said it in 1961. Substitute “Islamists” for “Communists”
Hopefully, we will see in our lifetimes a realignment of the GOP in favor of reason and individual rights and away from faith and tradition. Religion is a private matter.
With the respective candidacies of Giuliani and Huckabee the split has become even more glaring: the pro-freedom Giuliani (pro-choice, socially liberal, capitalist, anti-regulation- who respects profit and achievement) vs the christian socialist Huckabee (pro-tradition, anti-gay, anti-abortion, anti-reason, anti-capitalist, pro-regulation altruist)
Interestingly, in Rand’s 1957 novel Atlas Shrugged (celebrating 50 years in publication) the President is the folksy “Mr. Thompson” – a deal-making insincere lobbyist type who believes anyone’s open to a deal. Interesting coincidence that we have Fred Thompson this year, huh?
