re: #154 HappyWarrior

I know it sounds mean spirited but we’re talking about a man who used his deceased father’s SS benefits to pay for his college and then uses his political career to make it harder for kids to afford college. I can’t stand snobby bastards like Trump and Mitt Romney who have no idea what it’s like to struggle but I have a special contempt for people like Ryan who have soem understanding. Ryan’s parents should have taken Atlas Shrugged away from him and given him something worth a damn and based in reality.

Imagine if Paul Ryan had been given The Lord of the Rings … the evergreen quote for libertarians:

There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs. — John Rogers
