2. She used the term "neo-con"!

That was in the early 1960's!

7. I saw this clip on another site

and the very same thing jumped out at me. Other than the OP at that other site, you, and me, no one else seems to have picked up on this startling fact.

3. Wow. Some one tell Clarence Thomas about this....

He's a big fan of Rand's.

On another note: gosh, she's creepy!

4. Jeez.

Why didn't she just shorten Atlas Shrugged by a few billion words and just get that out there?

Then again, makes a great paperweight.

5. Wow...

Could she be any less interesting? Is it at all possible that she could be any more of a sourpuss? I thought she was just a fascist, but now I'm sure she's a fascist and a really boring person.

She gives credit for capitalism's birth to the colonists "intellect alone" ... Hmmm... she forgot the boatloads of slaves that helped to create the cash crops that built the markets she so applauds. I'm more inclined to think she doesn't forget at all that the weak must be used. Its a primary foundation of her fascist "Objectivist" philosophy (lower case p), if they can be described as such.

This McCarthyite crony deserves one of the worst caves in the pits of hell if there ever was such a place. She's utterly despicable.

6. a goddess of a great American cult

not so much fascism as a cult built around the her as a "holy reason" leader.
