Atlas Shrugged Quote

[Guest nicemac]

"When you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing; when you see that money is flowing to those who deal not in goods, but in favors; when you see that men get rich more easily by graft than by work, and your laws no longer protect you against them, but protect them against you...you may know that your society is doomed."

Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged

I've been seeing that for a while. That's just what progressives do: protect

the criminals.

One more example of the progressives intent on destroying this country. They are

succeeding. Progressives are on both sides of the aisle.

Let's call them what they are... Socialists.

Heil Washington!

[G27]

Let's call them what they are... Socialists.

Let's be more frank - they're marxists.

Even though they don't mean the same thing, I think most people have always used socialist, marxist, and statist interchangeably. I prefer to use statist myself. I think some of them are so extreme in their belief in a highly centralized government controlling everything that they could be labeled as totalitarian.

I have heard several commentators over the years describe the current situation as a soft tyranny. I think they are right.
