Everyone should be required to read Atlas Shrugged

How much damaging fake news gets reported to leftist news outlets? This is absurd.
Absolute traitors.

We shall see. This is the problem when the President has no credibility.

Why does NATO get the Intel but not our President? Whatever, nows Trumps chance to stand up to Putin and show how tough he is on Russia.

Man, that is the truth.
I read it in the 8th grade. Waste of time.
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
Best books (non-fiction category) on political philosophy:
The Leviathan by John Hobbes (imo by far the greatest work of political theory in the English language though there are many parts of it that are unreadable...far ahead of its time).
On Liberty by John Stuart Mill
The Open Society and Its Enemies by Karl Popper
A Theory of Justice by John Rawls
I tend not to like fiction disguised as political philosophy and have nothing to recommend there.

Can you provide your literary criticism? Im not an avid reader by any stretch of the imagination.
Natural Immunity Croc
Same. I reread it as an adult, just in case I missed something. Still a waste of time.
Sure. I wanted to like it. I kept being told it was all about atheism. It needed an editor. Terribly. It is around 600 pages too long. Seriously. It is filled with illogical situations. It is repetitive, and it is preachy af. Talk about a soapbox. It also beats you over the head with its point.
It was very long for sure. Never thought I'd be done with it but overall it was a fast read.
They could have gotten to the safe haven sooner but I think it was needed to demonstrate how these changes aren't immediate and that you have to be watchful for the incremental policy changes that destroy a nation.
I thought they did that very well and we are seeing it play out in America now.

You can write a long book without it being too long. Atlas Shrugged is not that book. Just cutting the repetitiveness alone would drop 400 pages, I would guess. No way that book makes it out of an anonymous slush pile.
One of the most misguided, silly books I've ever read. It's exactly the kind of book a deranged person would write - an unnatural awkward plot forced into a pre-existing philosophy. It's not a story so much as a hideously long allegory.
But I like her prose, no, I take that back. I love her prose. She and Joseph Conrad. It blows me away how well they could write in English, not their native tongues.

This is what I never understood.
Government never manages anything competently.
Yet the calls are always to give them MORE power.
Why?

that's a really stupid meme
we want a different gov't that works for the people and benefits all of us
this ain't hard to understand
