Originally published by Kettle Moraine Publications on July 7, 2009. PLAYBOY: Miss Rand, your novels and essays, especially your controversial best seller, Atlas Shrugged, present a carefully engineered, internally consistent world view. They are, in effect, the expression of an all-encompassing philosophical system. What do you seek to accomplish with this new philosophy? RAND: I […]
One of Ayn Rand’s lesser-known works of fiction paints a disturbingly familiar picture. Recent legislators, activists, and education reformers have promised to lead us into a new world of equity. No longer will some groups have a different lifestyle from others. No longer will some groups have a different education from others. There will be […]
NOTE: Well, son of a gun (oops) – this author seems to be somewhat of an anti-gun believer – but READ through it anyway. There are some very good points here. OH – and Mister Jones? The author talks about Sandy Hook too… WOW – I KNEW that we would receive response on this one. […]
John Wayne was a character that personified American values, he was a man’s man and 37 years after his death his family makes a relevant announcement. John Wayne was a Hollywood heartthrob in his time. He was the image of what a man should be back when chivalry wasn’t dead. This was all in the […]
Our country, our lives, and even our civilization are on the brink of destruction. And what are we doing about it? Which problem is so dire? What is the greatest threat to America?
What do you think is the biggest problem this country faces now; the one thing those seeking your vote in the upcoming Presidential Election should focus their attention upon? Is it the conflict in Israel? Is it the threat of another pandemic? Is it the high cost of groceries? Is it safety in our public […]
I sometimes wonder what it is about me that causes me to give a great deal of thought to some of the obscure ideas that simply pop into my head out of nowhere. Am I abnormal because my mind never seems to stop thinking; it latches onto something and won’t let it go until it […]
“Ask yourself why totalitarian dictatorships find it necessary to pour money and effort into propaganda for their own helpless, chained, gagged slaves, who have no means of protest or defense. The answer is that even the humblest peasant or the lowest savage would rise in blind rebellion, were he to realize that he is being […]
A jumble of incongruities brought about by media noise and nonsense fragmented last night’s sleep. On the surface, it seems innocuous, but I’m perplexed by an annoying undercurrent that defies naming. “There’s something happening here. What it is ain’t exactly clear…” I read the news today; oh, boy, about the latest spate of new […]
Back when I was still in the Air Force, I was required to attend annual fire safety/fire extinguisher training; primarily because my job required that I work with flammable materials. One of the first things they teach you is the fire triangle; the three basic requirements for a fire. The fire triangle is exactly what […]
Please read the paragraphs so marked ** with a broken Russian accent in mind – it’ll make more sense. ** Silly Capitalist Pigs… You know nothing about world or how it really works. You do not get to pick and choose the parts of ideology that you like or dislike. You can not choose only […]
Prologue Titles are introductory pitches that coax you to discover the writer’s intent buried in their text. The idea for this series occurred to me after reading several articles and opinions in an internet information feed. It’s apparent to me that America has no direction. We appear lost in a world of bigger, better, faster […]
I know it may be asking too much of folks, but just for a few minutes I’d like to ask that they put aside their partisan ideologies; long enough to answer a couple of quick questions. The first question is relatively simple; What function/s does government serve that you absolutely could not live without? That’s […]
I often wonder what the overall mindset of the average American might be and just how the people on the whole could have allowed America to sink to such destructive depths, in the name of being “good people” and to implement programs “for the Greater Good”, without seeing the harm they inflicted to their own […]

“As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the [socialist Democrat city] folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright [senile, corrupt, socialist] moron.” ~ […]
~ Forward ~ The days grow darker with each passing minute, as we hear black nationalist anti-white racists screaming, “We’re coming for everything You took from Us”, as if they have ever really done an honest day’s work themselves or actually had anybody take anything from them. Nine times out of ten, these radicals are […]
“Evil requires the sanction of the victim” ~ Ayn Rand Never before have we witnessed the enabling of violent criminals inspired on by the collective culture of guilt. While the elite “celebrities”, banksters, “mainstream” media pundits and corporate executives hide behind locked gates and try to “prove” they are “understanding” and “empathetic” with the misdirected […]
A great number of Americans, some ultra-Patriots, some simply concerned folks, all are pinning their hopes on Donald J. Trump as the “Great Savior” of America, not even for an instant comprehending that in far too many cases, he is part and parcel part of the problem and he has facilitated many of government’s ills. […]
Everyone has things they are afraid of; I’m afraid of heights. My fear is based upon something that happened to me when I was very young. My parents took me and my younger brother to the Bay Area one weekend when I was young and one of the places we visited was Seal Point. I […]
“Creation destroys as it goes, throws down one tree for the rise of another. But ideal mankind would abolish death, multiply itself million upon million, rear up city upon city, save every parasite alive, until the accumulation of mere existence is swollen to a horror.“ ~ D. H. Lawrence, English Writer (1885 – 1930) Most […]
“Government help to business is just as disastrous as government persecution… The only way a government can be of service to national prosperity is by keeping its hands off.” ~ Ayn Rand Congress has just approved an economically bloated $2.2 trillion spending relief bill, an amount more substantial than the GDP of all but a […]
Well, I sure would like to take a break, but our leaders just keep heaping the bad news on us. I address the Refugee Resettlement problem in this piece and the manner in which it affects the entire nation. I could have devoted my full attention to just Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee alone, but opted […]
When I first began studying the Constitution in an effort to better understand how our system of government was supposed to operate I looked to the Federalist Papers as the definitive explanation of our Constitution. That was years ago and I have since come to realize that the Federalist Papers are utter bullshit; a well […]
