Ayn Rand on Altrusim:

[MrScorpio]

"If any civilization is to survive, it is the morality of altruism that men have to reject."

Ayn Rand on the Pre-Born:


"Either the little bastards should get out of those wombs
and go out to find jobs, or else start paying rent."


Ayn Rand on Quadriplegics:

Ayn Rand on Corpses:


"If I can bury myself, so can you. Right, Frank?"

1. K&R n/t

2. I hang my head in shame...to think,once I was a Randian Objectivist...

It took "the real world" to cram some sense into my young,conceited mind.
Thanks for posting...how soon we forget(We are seeing a repeat...with smaller words)

9. So was I, but then we both woke up and GREW up.

[Curmudgeoness]

3. I always thought she was a condescending bitch, but really,

did she actually say these things? That is beyond what I would have expected from her...at least by a smidgen.

[MrScorpio]

4. The first one is an actual quote

The rest is satire.

[Curmudgeoness]

7. Whew, you just never know with Rand. Gotta say,

altruism really is a horrible philosophy. At least if you think all people are idiots who should be left to die except for a chosen few, who are worthy. Poor Eddie Willers. Unworthy.

Here's another quote---what a commie!

"Individual rights are the means of subordinating society to moral law."

[Posteritatis]

12. Some of them are satire but she's said vastly, vastly worse

She idealized an unrepentant child killer as a glorious, independant person, someone to aspire to be like.

Rand was evil, a word I try not to use regularly, and I generally consider her philosophy little better.

[SpiralHawk]

5. Another poor shrunken Republicon soul

Her face reveals her poverty of soul.

So Republicon. So sad.

[Posteritatis]

13. A lot of the nastier Republicans are altruistic saints alongside her. (nt)

[WillyT]

6. I Thought Republicans Didn't Believe In Darwin...

Sounds like survival of the fittest to me.

:shrug:

8. LOL

"Right, Frank?"

LOL

"Frank?"

10. Objectivism is the philosophy of most thinking

17-year-olds.

[ismnotwasm]

11. Her life story is fascinating

Her philosophy is a evil horror.

[Hannah Bell]

17. typical white russian.

14. The best quote about ayn rand

"Our religion is just Ayn Rand with trappings"

Anton Lovey, founder of the Church of Satan.

15. "Why should my wealth help the lazy? They have mouths, right?"

Couldn't Google that at all. IMO: Much damage is done to our side by making such things up!

On a lighter note, I frequently needle knee-jerk Randians by asking them: "Do you blindly worship an avowed ATHEIST?"

[MrScorpio]

16. Didn't you get the part that everything after the first quote was satire?

I thought that I mentioned that before.

[pnorman]

18. No, I didn't! Where was it? Am I "dense"?

You might call it satire, but I call BS on it. If those quotes weren't intended as ammo to toss at those egotistical hypocrits, then WHAT was their purpose?
