Who IS John Galt?

Ding! Correct.

Atlas Shrugged is finally being made into a movie. This is awesome, because it means the illiterate will be able to hate Ayn Rand as much as I do.

The book has a failed premise, an imaginary force, an impossible rebellion, and a bunch of unlikeable fools as players. The liklihood of us seeing Lord of the Rings or Dune become reality in our lifetimes is not only far greater, but more to be desired. This movie, like the book, will do more to damage real conservatism and commonsense than anything to come before or likely to come after. You want to see an accurate vision of the future? read Player Piano. Sure, it’s great to fantasise that a good man will come along and fix the world, but it will only ever be a fantasy. The closest we ever came was Reagan, and we won’t see another Reagan in our lives.

Give this a little thought: A group of motivated people who know what is right, taking the bull by the horns and fixing America despite the protestations of the evil and stupid.

Yes, you guessed it, it’s the Obama Administration. And John Galt is Nancy Pelosi.
