Another Ayn Rand
Novel For Our Times
by Scott Holleran
Though increased sales of Atlas
Shrugged by Ayn Rand have been
getting the attention, Ayn Rand's
lesser-known first novel, We the
Living (1936), is also relevant in
today's turbulent times.
Professor Robert
Mayhew on Ayn Rand's Novel We the
Living
by Scott Holleran
We the Living is so much more
effective than something like Alexander
Solzhenitsyn's The Gulag Archipelago,
where you come away thinking the Soviets
are evil, sadistic bastards but there's
no sense of what is the alternative. In
We the Living, it's clear why
any dictatorship is evil. It's not just
a critique of Soviet Russia.
Solzhenitsyn, in effect, says Soviet
Russia is evil--Ayn Rand says why
it is evil. |

Random Thoughts: October 2009
by Thomas Sowell
(October 6, 2009)
The way Hollywood elites have sprung to the defense of Roman Polanski to keep him from being extradited to the United States, despite the heinous crime he is accused of, suggests that-- like other egalitarians-- they consider those who are "one of us" to be more equal than others.

Islamized Europe: Philosophical Continental Drift
by Edward Cline
(October 2, 2009)
As many "radical" Islamic spokesmen have smugly observed, if Europe cannot be "reconquered" with military jihad, it can be conquered with population jihad. Which is exactly what is happening.

"High Noon" for the First Amendment
by Edward Cline
(September 30, 2009)
Obama cannot but believe that freedom of the press is also a nuisance, that the people have been 'poisoned' by it to oppose his agenda, and that the 'lies' on which that opposition is founded ought to be punished.

by Thomas Sowell
(September 28, 2009)
Politically brilliant and charismatic leaders, promoting reckless government spending-- of whom Juan Peron was the most prominent, but by no means alone-- managed to create an economic disaster in a country with an abundance of natural resources and a country that was spared the stresses that wars inflicted on other nations in the 20th century.
