Bio

John Galt is a fictional character in Ayn Rand's novel Atlas Shrugged (1957). Although he is not identified by name until the last third of the novel, he is the object of its often-repeated question "Who is John Galt?" and of the quest to discover the answer. As the plot unfolds, Galt is acknowledged to be a creator, philosopher, and inventor who symbolizes the power and glory of the human mind. He serves as a principled counterpoint to the collectivist social and economic structure depicted in the novel. The depiction portrays a society based on oppressive bureaucratic functionaries and a culture that embraces stifling mediocrity and egalitarianism, which the novel associates with socialistic idealism.

I am not this fictional character.

@kohana & Lee: sounds like we need to do a parrot or parrot rescue thread. The Galt family just grew by 2 parrotlets recently as we rescued/adopted (or they acquired us, hard to tell with parrots) some birds from a bird lady that took on too much situation.

This lady has some talent and looks like she has managed to allied herself with others of talent in their chosen fields. I think her videos are a very smart way to market herself in the social media crowd.

Of course she is against IRS corruption. That is easy to say when you don't define what you consider corrupt. The question is does she define what the IRS did as corrupt and what is she willing to do about it.

Just out of curiosity, why is Russlynn Ali not guilty of violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1001 lying to federal agents?

The point most miss is that there is no IRS scandal. The IRS did what they were ordered to do. The very person in charge of this department in the IRS is one of their golden people selected for her ability to get tough projects like this accomplished. She is now in charge of IRS Obamacare enforcement, any guess how even handed that will be handled?
The Left do not see this as a scandal because they believe that one of the purposes of government is to control the parts of the population it disagrees with. The left voter could care less because they do not care if legal or moral as long as the get their way.

I have been saying something similar for many years.  The bureaucrats run the country, the political class just thinks it does and the bureaucrat let them so they can use them as cover.  That is why anything like term limits will not work unless you expand it to all in government service and I mean all levels of government service.  Personally I believe that government service needs to be considered a duty and be limited to 10 years total government service for all government employees no matter what level.

What is your relationship to the graduate?

The National Park Service contracts with private operators to run lodging, and it's up to those operators whether they want to put Bibles or other religious documents in the rooms, said Bill Reynolds, assistant regional director for the Southeast. The park service doesn't require or prohibit the provision of Bibles, he said.
See no state employees were involved, their time was not wasted.
BTW-if you go by the original meaning of the constitution. Any state has the right to pretty much do what it wants with religion including establishing it. It was only later that SCOTUS manage to twist the law so that was not the case.

When Bill Clinton was in office, I just could not understand how liberal after liberal would keep exclaiming, that Bill Clinton, a middle aged, white, good ole boy from Arkansas, was in fact America’s first Black President and that I was just too dumb to see it. 

After a while I did run across a liberal or two that stated that yes they knew he was white but that he was being treated the same as a black man would be if he was President.  Now that we really do have a man in office that has black ancestry, I wonder if they ever look back and realize how wrong they were.

Frightened American: I believe in shotgun weddings, even if a couple is young and immature.  It is better for a child for his/her parents to be divorced than never married at all.  The expectation that the marriage would last forever might be asking too much, hence a priest mightn't perform a marriage as a sacrament, but what's wrong with a pre-nup and a quicky at city hall?? 

The problem with modern-day shotgun weddings is the lack of use of the shotgun.  

The original shotgun wedding threat was from the girl’s family to the offending male basically saying you are responsible for this situation now do the right thing and get married or there will be a reaction from our family.  Oh, by the way, if you don’t live up to your vows and treat our girl right, we got that whole “death till you part” thing covered with the shotgun.

Fake John Galt: @Foxmam#68:
Anyway it sounds like JoJo is claiming to be female if that makes things easier for you. Not that it should make a difference.

Er, what do you mean, "claiming" ?

Well in comment #63 you stated “I am female”, thus my statement that you are claiming femalehood. 

This is the internet after all; and all I have to go by is your pseudonym and avatar that seems to indicate that you might be female but it might also be meant to deceive.  There is a very real possibility that you are actually a 45 year old unemployed male living in your mother’s basement that get their jollies by pretending to be a woman on the internet, so that has to be taken into consideration. 

Then it could be that when you wrote #63 you were female but now feel differently and wish to try being male, if for no other reason than to get legal access to shorter restroom lines.

@Foxmam#68:
How dare you suggest there is a difference between a homosexual relationship and a heterosexual one.
Homosexuals have equal rights to be coerced into a marriage via a parental unit and a shotgun as heterosexuals. Just because somebody may have to involve a surrogate, sperm donor or adoption agency is irrelevant and should be ignored.
Anyway it sounds like JoJo is claiming to be female if that makes things easier for you. Not that it should make a difference.

If you want to know what conservatives are? We are historians. We see the past as alive full of lessons, follies, experiments, arguments and discussions to draw wisdom from so we can guide our future by keeping those thing that have worked and learning from those that did not. The liberals view the past as irrelevant with no lessons to learn or warnings to heed.

@SimonTemplar#55: Actually this is a problem we on the right have in our discussions with the left. When we reference the Founders, or the Bible, or philosophers, or economist, we are referencing their body of work, their ideas and how these have been taken, discussed, perceived over many years maybe centuries. The Left think we are idiots because they do not see any value in this stuff. To them there is no God so the Bible, Torah, Koran or any "truths" of religion traditions are delusional and can easily be disregarded. The Founders supported slavery and have been dead many years why base any discussions on them? Same goes for the philosophers and economist, all those guys are dead and in the past, what they discussed was fine then but makes little sense in modern time. Why pay attention to the Constitution? It is just an old piece of paper with laws written for that time, but why care about it now?
Once you realize that all they care about is how they feel now and what is happening today you can engage them on the field they understand.

Ok, now would somebody please explain why anybody in their right mind would get married and have children? Why should you put yourself in the position that this type of abuse could happen to you? There is no way it is worth the risk.
