the best rebuttal to Ayn Rand is Ayn Rand herself

[Fresh_Start]

she used Social Security and Medicare benefits. So think of Atlas Shrugged and whatever as her science fiction...but in her real life, she was another government moocher.

1. That's exactly how teabaggers think though

They have a science fiction mindset.

Alot of them collect SS or Medicare.(reality) So long as those moochin mahnohratees don't get any.(science fiction)

2. What is so hypocritical is that

She berated any of her followers that didn't hold to their (her) principles. She would call them weak. I guess she wasn't strong enough. She became a "Lesser" person.

I've read that a big dollar sign was part of her funeral tribute along with a few flowers.

3. She also demanded that her acolytes smoke - symbol of man's taming of fire, you see . . .

Sociopathic hack bitch.

5. I prefer to see it as cause and effect.

One hypocrisy is how she stressed that they be independent thinkers, except that she require her "students" to do what she told them, even smoke. She didn't permit indepence from Her control.
