"It is the Communists' intention to make people think that personal success is somehow achieved at the expense of others and that every successful man has hurt somebody by becoming successful." - Ayn Rand

    You need to read The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged.

    As for scandals, just because the MSM ignored them does not mean they were not there. To name a few, Benghazi, IRS attacks on conservatives, Fast and Furious, and the spying on Trump in the campaign. Obama is both a commie and a crook.

    And it is the intention of the environmental movement to make people think that any human success somehow happens at the irreparable expense of the planet itself, and that every successful individual, group or society has harmed the planet through their success.

    Ayn Rand's statement here PROVES that Barack Obama is a communist.
    he did say and I am paraphrasing to the indignation of people like me ; "you didn't do it by yourself"!!!!! so we the citizens of the united states of America had not only a muslim president but he is also a communist.

    Thank goodness for climate change. If the climate wasn't changing, I would be having woolly mammoth chops for supper, that is if I weren't trampled to death first or die of the cold.
    Never ever support a progressive. They destroy everything that they have anything to do with.

    I do believe that almost everyone on this site holds the opinion that the climate has always changed. That's why we once had dinosaurs and then woolly mammoths.
    I'll never support a progressive who is really at least a communist lite socialist. Those are the looters who were the ruination of the world in Atlas Shrugged.
    Its author Ayn Rand had witnessed such commie crap in Russia where she was born.

    Many people on the site site deny the reality of climate change and actually support the Republican party, which is worse. I don't hold it against people for supporting one of the mainstream parties because I don't think the problem is failure to elect the right person.

    For those who have worked to achieve a goal under the direction of a smart and tactful manager, it is difficult to imagine that we would have achieved our own success without their dedication and coaching. Obama's quote can be read to support this... but in actual intent it is meant to suggest the opposite; that material gains are a function of material transformation through common labor. Thus it is based not only in the materialist assumption pervading communism, but also in the socialist framework for their justice. It only takes setting a goal and making modest gains in achieving that goal to speak to the sense of life in a person which negates this assertion, supporting the quote above.

    As Gulcher DB Halling says, (my words)-
    The central issue in economics is not the allocation of scarce resources,
    it is how to get more.

    I did support President Obama without irony. Obviously that does not mean I support all decisions he made.

    I do hope that the web is not capturing your sarcasm here CG. A guns hop not a mile from me was one targeted by O's DOJ in Fast and Furious? I can make a list of things he did.

    It's a testament to President Obama's success and lack of scandals that after five years his critics still seize on this one poor choice of words taken out of context.

    Nice quote... Seems as though I'm always hearing the opposite from people.

    Reminds me of O's
    "If You've Got A Business, You Didn't Build That "

    Spoken like the communist prick we all knew he was.
