Who was Ayn Rand?

Objectivism is a philosophy developed by Ayn Rand. She believed that people should look at situations objectively (hence the name) and do what is best for that particular situation without person prejudices or religious beliefs interfering. Just because a person was in the minority did not mean that his rights did not matter. Rand was big on individual rights and responsibilities. A person should be responsible for himself and not rely on the efforts of others to keep him happy. Objectivism supports capitalism, and is one of the basis's for the platform of the Libertarian party.

People should rely upon reason to guide themselves through life, essentially holding their rational self-interest (and not the commands of an unseen God) as the barometer for ethical behavior.

Was Ayn Rand a Fascist? She definitely was not a Christian. She promoted a doctrine of selfishness because it excluded God. Those of us that went to college knew this because she was talked about in certain psychology disciplines. Ignorance is Bliss.

When one post quotes and ASSuME no one knows what you are talking about and the example that you are using, you make an ass out of yourself...hence objectivism.

It's obvious I struck a nerve with the head BIGOT, since he took the place of the other Head Bigot from the Hollow. The head Bigot stated that demons are a myth when the Bible clearly states that they exist. Since you don't believe in demons you are gullible to believe anything. That is why you are so hateful and confused. You are possessed by the demons you say don't exist. How sad.

I am so glad that I have a good education. I don't fall for all the gibberish that the new head Bigot put out there. Only the uninformed and uneducated are impressed with all your BS. This is so sad.

Speedy, no worries, I've got your back as always, bud. Let's talk about Ayn Rand and post some GREAT LINKS while we're at it. Ayn Rand was, in fact, the CLEVER and SOPHISTICATED racist of her time but, there is so much controversy around her being liked by Republicans due to these links:

(1) http://www.dailykos.com/story/2011/04/24/969838/-Ayn-Rand-was-a-clever-racist
Check the comments as well after the article.

(2) http://www.alternet.org/hot-news-views/paul-ryan-hero-ayn-rand-was-virulent-anti-arab-racist
In the very last paragraph, she clearly sees that Israel 'is inclined towards SOCIALISM'...and supports the United States in supporting Israel and their SOCIALISM. This was way back then, too.

(3) http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/opinion/forum/2011-06-05-Ayn-Rand-and-Jesus-dont- mix_n.htm

The last link is the GRANDMASTER of the three as it's CLEARY shows how the Republicans pick and choose what they want to tout in terms of RELIGION. Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Michael Berry...NO ONE ON ANY OF THE FOX NEW CHANNELS will discuss her particular views on ABORTION. They completely ignore it on purpose but, will select various other bits and pieces for their agendas. Rush Limbaugh calls her ' the brilliant writer and novelist'... and she wrote ABORTION. Here's one more link to show that along with some others that believe in Ayn Rand's perspectives:

Finally, here's a couple more links to the infamous Ayn Rand's ABORTION and her direct and plain views on it:

(2) http://www.ontheissues.org/celeb/Ayn_Rand_Abortion.htm

Please refer back to my original quote about being feared for what you know as opposed to being mocked for what you don't...and think you do know. These idiots here will NEVER LEARN who they're really dealing with. I hope reddog really enjoys the reading here as well. It get's easier by the day, eh Speedy? 2015...the game changer year.

LL, you just put the icing on the cake. Now they are hearing the truth from another educated Black man.
They don't have a clue about who they are praising. Just like all of them was showing love for pooting (spelling intended) when he was insulting the POTUS. Now pooting is looking like a wimp as Obama put the screws to his sick economy.The head Bigot is an even bigger wimp. In another incident, related by the columnist Samuel Francis, when Rand learned that the economist Murray Rothbard's wife, Joey, was a devout Christian, she all but ordered that if Joey did not see the light and become an atheist in six months, Rothbard, who was an agnostic, must divorce her. Rothbard never had any intention of doing anything of the sort, and this estranged him from Rand, who found such "irrational" behavior intolerable. Rand was an Atheist. I have to tell the repub trolls, the head Bigot won't. I know all about Ayn Rand, I have more education than all the repub trolls, and they know it!
