Shrug, Atlas, Part II

Rarely does the wall street journal have anything intelligent to say.  (I prefer Investor’s Business Daily, BTW.)  The link above is to a telling piece – a former Cato Institute member writes on the eerie way that Ayn Rand’s magnum opus, “Atlas Shrugged,” is morphing from fiction to fact before our eyes.  (Cato is the ‘establishment’ libertarian house organ, and is generally not to be trusted.  Bill Clinton is a soul mate of theirs – dope, debauchery, greed, and no rules – Boomerism run riot as political ideology.)  The GOP President bailing out the excesses of a Democrat Congress and their cronies in the “Aristocracy of Pull” (A Randina term) is so obvious parallel that it cannot be ignored.
I’m no Randian, and no libertarian (I prefer, “Tory Minarchist”), but this is too good to not share.  For those who have not waded through 1,100 pages of Rand, I recommend reading it now, so that you have a road map of our near-term future.  (I recommend a King James Bible for those seeking a farther horizon…)
