Turn on Rachel right fugging now

Doc Hastings, Jack Abramoff and that Medicare Part D bogus vote.

Hastings is now the Chair of the Oil Committee and now wants to deregulate oil drilling. These fucking people are crazy. 60 days for an oil review.

1. They won't be satisfied until the U.S. is transformed into a total Randian paradise.....

...... free of regulations and workers' rights.

3. Speaking of Rand.

"You have nothing to offer us, we do not need you."-John Galt. Okay, so next time you bastards need our votes or billion dollar bail outs, remember, you do not need us, we have nothing to offer you.

5. +++++ This simple truth just never gets said. Thanks. (nt)

9. Well said. That's it right there. If they want to live here they have to act like we belong here too

At least ACT like we belong here.
Hell, we don't need 2 car garages or 2 cars even, but they have to be made to ACT like we could have it, if we really wanted it.
Why won't they even ACT like we belong here?
We aren't asking for much, just for them to ACT like we belong here, too.

11. Ahh, but to them we are asking too much.

We have the nerve to expect them to contribute to the society they live in, and that allowed them to prosper. These people truly believe they hold the world on their shoulders. In short, their fucking insane and dangerous. I have a a post critiquing Objectivism, that I'm planning to post later, that points out the gaping holes in her logic. Oh, here is an interesting article that attacks it fairly well: http://www.bnet.com/blog/salesmachine/top-10-reasons-ayn-rand-was-dead-wrong/11984

14. My favorite part of that article...

Reading Rand creates instant jackasses. Anyone who’s been subjected to a friend who suddenly “discovers” Rand knows that reading her works causes people to act like selfish idiots. They combine a patina of “reason” over a self-righteous justification of whatever their “id” happens to want at the time and then insist that they’re just pursuing their own self-interest. They also become incredibly boring, about on the level of a newly converted Scientologist.

:rofl:

Oh, wait...there's more!

Rand is the CEOs’ favorite philosopher. Most CEOs already have CEO disease, which the medical profession defines as “the enlargement of the sphincter so that it covers the entire body, creating an overwhelming itch that can only be calmed by the frequent osculation of underlings.” Let’s face it: if there was ever an human ilk who don’t need a philosophy that drives them to be even more selfish, it’s the overpaid and overpampered CEOs of the world.

15. Same reason the European settlers didn't act like the Native Americans belonged here.

They had more power and better weapons. Nothing's really changed. It's just that there is no reason to maintain the facade any longer.
