    Not even a half assed objectivist would support obama. And a dedicated one wouldn't even joke about it. If you said your first sentence with a straight face then you are a conflicted, blank out, mess who likes to bastardize the meaning of objectivism.

    I suppose there were some Jews/Gypsies/Homosexuals who supported Hitler too.

    I am biased b/c I'm a dedicated objectivist who supports President Obama.

    It seems to go without saying that objectivists can work with people who don't agree with objectivism on all issues.

    Factions form in a republic, contrary to what James Madison hoped in the Federalist Papers, but objectivists don't get caught up in them. We're not the board members Rand mentions in Fountainhead to check in with our political allies before saying what we think.

    Oh, now I get it. Just saw that news report. Stupid is as stupid does - and this one does stupid extraordinarily well.

    Oh duh.. sorry, I misunderstood your comment before. Yes... bo saying spreading the wealth around was a good thing... and we mistakenly thought that would wake people up. And we're still waiting for that to happen. They aren't going to do it on their own.

    yes, but there is a learning curve in here. many "gulchers" identify with the movies. that is a starting point. :) your work is ahead of you. You are part of the idea "front" today I talked with a New York restaurateur. he has two successful restaurants. they just passed a law in the city, businesses are required to pay a 2% tax (based on payroll) for the subway system. He said-revolution. i want to be on the front lines. we said to him-be on the front line of ideas. No longer do you agree to comments such as no politics with a dinner party. no longer do you say no politics and work, no politics and happy hour. Ideas need to OUT

    I thought there was the non-contradiction rule? Sure, let's support someone who is doing everything they can to shut down private (non-elitist controlled/influenced) enterprise. Joe the Plumber anyone?
