I want to comment about the website Atlas Shrugs.

As you might guess from my nick, I am an Objectivist, and Atlas Shrugs is the famous novel by the founder of Objectivism, Ayn Rand.

Objectivism is a philosophy of reason. When I first started reading Pam’s website, I thought it pretty good, given my fundamental dislike of Islam, if a little over the top. I tended to ignore the emotional outbursts, and petty behavior, because I thought perhaps the website was Objectivist in its nature.

I am now convinced that Pam is a shrill harpy with a terribly wounded ego, to worry and rant in exclamation and capital letters. There is little about her that is rational.

I want to say to all Lizards to not associate Objectivism in any way, shape or form, with this petulant child named Pam. To Pam I would say - please change the name of your website to “whiny populist evangelical” to more accurately reflect the ideology apparent in your writings.

For those actually interested in Objectivism, I recommend capmag.com or aynrand.org

Thank you.
