Quoting: Anonymous Coward 71195974 Anonymous Coward User ID: 71195974 United States 02/19/2017 10:03 AM The people who have erroneously decided that it would be better to burn the country to the ground than relinquish power to Trump are so hopelessly in error and completely dependent on the system that enslaves them that they will fight to the end to defend it. They can't be freed. They will drag you down if you continue to try to wake them, and free them. They will kill you before they allow you to. They will not, NOT put on the glasses. Let the dead-weight go. Before it's too late.   The irrational can not be fought with reason. You see this happening all around you. You watch as they drag you down. You want to save them, but cannot. Part of WAKING UP and saving yourself and others who are awake is accepting the reality that many, many people cannot be awakened, and that they pose an immanent threat to your survival and the survival of others. YOU HAVE TO CUT THEM LOOSE. |

And Trump Is John Galt. I loved that book. One part that sticks in my mind is Ragnar Danneskjöld's exchange with Hank Rearden: "What I actually am, Mr. Rearden, is a policeman. It is a policeman's duty to protect men from criminals—criminals being those who seize wealth by force. It is a policeman's duty to retrieve stolen property and return it to its owners. But when robbery becomes the purpose of the law, and the policeman's duty becomes, not the protection, but the plunder of property—then it is an outlaw who has to become a policeman." Take the red pill now...later it will come as a suppository. |

And Trump Is John Galt. for those who don't know Atlas Shrugged: Quoting: Malu nli The book depicts a dystopian United States, wherein many of society's most prominent and successful industrialists abandon their fortunes and even the nation, in response to aggressive new regulations, whereupon most vital industries collapse. The title is a reference to Atlas, a Titan described in the novel as "the giant who holds the world on his shoulders". The significance of this reference appears in a conversation between the characters Francisco d'Anconia and Hank Rearden, in which d'Anconia asks Rearden what advice he would give Atlas upon seeing that "the greater [the titan's] effort, the heavier the world bore down on his shoulders". With Rearden unable to answer, d'Anconia gives his own response: "To shrug". [link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)] must read book Thank you for posting. I will get the book and read it Sunday. Thanks  Read The Fountainhead first, it will whet your appetite for Atlas Shrugged. If you read Atlas first, everything after that will be a letdown. this |

Very nice example of Trump's Razor. ‘Trump’s Razor‘ in honor of ‘Occam’s Razor’, the foundational mode of reasoning devised by the 14th century scholastic theologian William of Occam. According to Trump’s Razor: “ascertain the stupidest possible scenario that can be reconciled with the available facts” and that answer is likely correct. |

Movie was okay, but nowhere near as good as the book. Mandatory reading by every GLP'er. Don't be discouraged by the length of the book. It is extremely riveting. Could not put the damn thing down, read all 1200+ pages in less than a week. AN ALL TIME FAVORITE! Apparently, the second most influential book after the Bible. At least it was, before the Horror of the last 8 years.  . INFJ; We are the protectors. |

And Trump Is John Galt.  Kamala Harris is not a Natural Born Citizen. She's illegally running. Used by the Founders... Book I of The Law of Nations, Chapter XIX, § 212 (Joseph Chitty numbering) – “Citizens and natives” reads: 'The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens. As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights.' 1758 Emerich de Vattel Oh' What the Hell, do I look like I want to die in some nursing home one day... America must have 4 new Constitutional Amendments... 1. Drug Tests and Mental Evaluations on all politicians and judges randomly five times per year. 2. Term Limits for Federal politicians and judges. 3. Mental and health standards for Supreme Court Justices and retirement age set. 4. A 'Star Chamber' of elected Natural Born Citizens (no attorney's) to ivestigate, try, and prosecute the politicians and government employee's as they see fit.
