Ayn Rand ....."Blogger Guy in Ohio said...<br /><br /> Ayn Rand ... she saw all this coming years ago. I wonder if her approach would work to solve it?"<br /><br />I think your reference is ATLAS SHRUGGED, Ayn Rand's best seller of 1957 that has proven to be a book written by a prophet, as we are are living the plot of her 1,000 page plus opus even as I type these lines.<br /><br />Speaking of her advice on what to do to stop the inevitable collapse of the old regime, or put another way, "What should Atlas do?" Rand said, "Shrug."<br /><br />And this is exactly what so many of us "John Galt protagonists like myself are doing - JUST THE BARE MINIMUM TO PUT A ROOF OVER OUR HEADS AND FOOD ON THE TABLE. <br /><br />We Galts have largely withdrawn from the nine to five crowd in hyper overdrive trying to figure out how to get out of this mess and today we set in the stands with hot dogs and beer in hands watching the inevitable outcome of the game in progress on the field.<br /><br />A Nobel Prize winning fellow Russian author of Ayn Rand, the late great Christian Alexander Solzhenitsyn, published The Red Wheel, his wordy account of the Russian Revolution. <br /><br />Of course, the literary experts have already spilled an ocean of ink on what was the theme of The Red Wheel, but it is quite simple: After study that started in his youth, Solzhenitsyn concluded that communism was not inevitable outcome of the Russian Revolution, and its alleged "mastermind" - Lenin - was the one person in the world most surprised when it first broke out in early 1917 besides Czar Nicholas II.<br /><br />Likewise, communism is not the inevitable outcome for America when the almost certain collapse of our current regime happens within the next few years, because waiting in the wings are legions of American Patriot John Galts who have read Rand and Solzhenitsyn and have a tried and true plan to save the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution from the flames.<br /><br />The truth will set America free once more.<br /><br />But at first it's going to hurt a hellva lot.Ronbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02767498198886077632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-77640770568744442222011-06-26T00:54:23.684-07:002011-06-26T00:54:23.684-07:00As revolutionary writer Jack Reed said just prior ...As revolutionary writer Jack Reed said just prior to the Russian Revolution of 1917 of the Czarist Regime on its death bed - "The worse it gets; the better for us."<br /><br />In other words the old corrupt, degenerate and socialist regime of the United States is on its last legs, however, waiting by the bedside for the patient to die is its successor children.<br /><br />One child is capitalism, the other is socialism, and when the old man finally dies they will fight it out for the grand prize of the last great western empire.Ronbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02767498198886077632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-68076877939911506672011-06-25T22:02:18.101-07:002011-06-25T22:02:18.101-07:00Alan - care to take a stab at how America will loo...Alan - care to take a stab at how America will look c2050?Lime Litehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15062140213877618320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-60361366114851614712011-06-25T20:53:18.628-07:002011-06-25T20:53:18.628-07:00Ayn Rand ... she saw all this coming years ago.
