Hell, I remember Watergate being a big deal at the time; this stuff blows Watergate out of the water by a magnitude of 1000. Even then, Nixon still stepped aside. Here we have Clinton, who makes Nixon look like an altar boy, and she and her defenders are literally trampling the shit out of any sense of integrity, moral fiber, or sense of public duty. Yes, we witnessed their shit show in the 90's and all the corruption they got away with back then; now they have taken it to unforseen levels that threaten the republic as a whole. It is hard to believe.

We are if supporters of the corrupt, such as yourself, outnumber the supporters of liberty, law and order, on Tuesday.

I've never heard, by anybody, Ayn Rand being labeled as a "demented sociopath" before. That's a new one, for sure! Of course there are people who disagree with her political stances, for various reasons, some good and some bad. But demented... yeah ... that's novel.Dr Winston O'Boogie;1822144 wrote:A paint brush statement from a demented sociopath doesn't say anything.

Lol really? You've never heard of a cold/selfish person be labeled a sociopath lol. You've never heard of a person who openly has affairs with other married people a sociopath? You've never heard of people who admire serial killers be labeled a sociopath? Her writing style and ideas were indeed indicative of a sociopath. Her actions scream it. But you've never heard it?CenterBHSFan;1822149 wrote:I've never heard, by anybody, Ayn Rand being labeled as a "demented sociopath" before. That's a new one, for sure!

I more or less look at Ayn Rand as one of those people unintelligent people quote in order to try to sound capable of intelligent or "deep" thought.
This thread being a good example.

I look at it (Ayn Rand's ideas) no differently than I do Margaret Sanger. Margaret Sanger, by the way, is somebody that Hillary Clinton admires and respects. Many of her ideas are also controversial - some are evidenced to be true, some are evidenced to be not-so-true.
Just like with anybody else who has been quoted, things said can be taken out of context and portrayed as the worst. Or best, depending on your leanings.

I don't think so. Her philosophy is based in part in not being sympathetic to others. She ruled her little fiefdom with some irrational paranoia, etc.CenterBHSFan;1822149 wrote:I've never heard, by anybody, Ayn Rand being labeled as a "demented sociopath" before.

If someone wants to quote her like she's some sort of sage, I think that's a stretch. Probably every person who's ever walked the earth has said something in their life that could be seen as prophetic later on. Larry Flynt's probably said something that sounds prophetic in hindsight and with no context. I don't know that he should be the the bellwether we cite though.
