The following article originally was published November 23 by Grand Junction's Free Press. People vote for freedom with their feet and effort by Linn and Ari Armstrong "Why are they all running to Colorado? What have they got down there that we haven't got?" So asks a villain in Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged. He complains about Colorado's primitive, lazy government that "does nothing outside...

Barack Obama's victory in the presidential election, combined with congressional gains for Democrats, will prompt a wave of soul-searching on the right. Among other things, we will be asking: What is the road back from the political wilderness? Where can we look for hope that the next four years will be a temporary lurch to the left from which America will soon recover? Fortunately, a long search is...

Ayn Rand, in one of her more insightful moments, explained an argument that I think is the prime political argument today. She called it the Argument from Intimidation . Here is her definition of the argument. My comments will follow: There is a certain type of argument which, in fact, is not an argument, but a means of forestalling debate and extorting an opponent’s agreement with one’s...

Tapu Misa quoting Ayn Rand to support today's column about Saturday's march; As the philosopher and writer Ayn Rand observed, "Individual rights are not subject to a public vote; a majority has no right to vote away the rights of a minority; the political function of rights is precisely to protect minorities from oppression by the majority (and the smallest minority on earth is the individual)."...

Historians of Modern Architecture have cultivated the image of the architect as a temperamental genius, unconcerned by issues of politeness or pragmatics—a reading reinforced in cultural representations of Modern Architects, such as Howard Roark, the protagonist in Ayn Rand's 1943 novel The Fountainhead (a character widely believed to be based on the architect Frank Lloyd Wright). The perception...

Oh my. Frank Rich takes off on Palin today. I've avoided writing about Palinophobia and the Palinopalooza currently raging in the blogosphere right now because others are doing such a great job. And, well, Andrew Sullivan . Enough said. But Frank Rich is pushing me over the edge. He admits to having read the book, which is something. I've got the book but I haven't read it yet; I'm still into this...

From Network , 1976. Gerald Ford was President. Add in a dolop of racism, a hefty bag of ignorance, four conspiracy theories, and a tax scam. Place in large corporate payola cauldron, and percolate through Fox News. Season with blast email and garnish with a Bible quote, Ayn Rand, or your own theories about economics, law, and the United Nations. Goes well with Stupid on a Stick. Serve with a hot American...

Voting for the Democrats- the party that under John Kennedy stood for promoting freedom around the world, low taxes, free trade, and more-and today stands for none of these things (plus fetishistically endorses abortion), simply isn't an option. But what many Catholic Republicans like myself wonder is-do we really want a party that's seemingly over-run by close-the-borders racists, Ayn Rand fanatics...

“Today, people are beginning to understand that the government's account is overdrawn, that a piece of paper is not the equivalent of a gold coin, or an automobile, or a loaf of bread—and that if you attempt to falsify monetary values, you do not achieve abundance, you merely debase the currency and go bankrupt.” —Ayn Rand, ‘Moral Inflation’ For the uninitiated,...
