@jj-adams saidLots of that chit coming from the south are facing far more danger in their country of origin than rand ever faced so that is a non argument.
She would have been killed or put into a labor camp if she returned to Russia.....what would you have done?
Jackass.
Rand could’ve / should’ve gone to her nearest place of safety which would’ve been Western Europe but she came to your country as an illegal economic migrant looking for a better life, it’s you that has an issue with that motivation so why does rand get a pass.

@techsouth saidThanks for the ranting and raving.
You mean a person born more than 100 years ago before the welfare state believed open borders were viable!!!!!
My whole intellectual framework just crumbled!!!!
The fact that people 200 years ago could get on boat and take a dangerous and expensive 2 week trans-Atlantic trip and would be allowed in to the US necessitates that we open our borders to anyone who can be g ...[text shortened]... lity of life as a nation is determined totally by our GDP.
How could I have been so blind before?
Rand answered that question regarding immigration in 1973 which was a bit after the "welfare state" was created in most advanced countries. In fact, even the right wing, laissez faire US Libertarian Party supports "open borders" NOW:
"3.4 Free Trade and Migration
"We support the removal of governmental impediments to free trade. Political freedom and escape from tyranny demand that individuals not be unreasonably constrained by government in the crossing of political boundaries. Economic freedom demands the unrestricted movement of human as well as financial capital across national borders."

That's far more in support of unrestricted immigration than any position of the Democratic Party that I know of.
Of course it's quite clear that the real reason why present day right wingers so adamantly oppose even legal immigration is racism (review JJ's posts here).
@jj-adams saidHad Rand prevailed in her mission, our country, rather than spiraling down, would have made great strides, with no parasites in every nook and cranny. She would have kicked them down the street.
Rand brought something to the table and wasn't an instant welfare rat/criminal squeezing out babies every year.
marauder, did you reference Ayn Rand misrepresenting herself somewhere above. That reminds me of Bill Clinton doing the same thing avoiding draft.You see how hypocritical you all are . Positions like that one surely dilute a nice thread. Vacuum city.
@kevcvs57 saidEurope wasn't all that safe when she escaped from Stalin's grasp.

Man you suck.
@no1marauder saidI oppose them for breaking the law, but more so, I oppose them because we cannot afford them in this country. How much money do you liberals think we have anyway?

Have any of you had one of those illegals het in front of you in a waiting line at the ER? Don’t you have the right of way?
What in the hell? Voting rights next? Become president next?

I'm done with this thread.
@no1marauder saidRand was an opportunist. Why does this story of her entry into the land of opportunity surprise me not in the least?
I found it interesting that such a right wing icon would use illegal and dishonest means to procure her entry and continued stay in the US and wondered what right wingers would have to say about it. The "rule of law" they often crow about seems to be of no matter in this case.
Rand herself, of course, believed in "open borders" and in "rational self-interest" so lying to obtain entry into the US was no big deal for her.
@jj-adams saidShe was never a bloody major writer.
Ayn Rand escaped from Stalinist Russia, went on to become a major novelist/screenwriter, and you libbies just have to put her down.
Why?
Good grief. She wrote some π© that got picked up by right-wing extremists (and dare I say ‘coke snorting capitalist hogs’ ) and incels.
That was that.
Most people outside of the US have never even heard of the bitch.
@shavixmir saidAnthem...Atlas Shrugged...The Fountainhead....We the Living.....you're right, she sucked.

@shavixmir saidAnd here is the root of shag doody's mental disorder, humans are irrational so they need other humans to push them around, but the 'others' are irrational too. The nightmare mind of a collectivist and communist.
She was a hypocrite and begged off welfare in the end.
Absolute moron too.
“The rational human being”… hahahah
Just look at the trailer trash, trump supporting, incel, vaccine-denying, global warming denying right-wing retards on this site.
Rational my fat hairy arse!
For any sane person, a short sharp jolt: Leonard Reads "I, Pencil"
@jj-adams saidRight. And it didn't help - the fact she was Jewish. A goner for sure
She would have been killed or put into a labor camp if she returned to Russia.....what would you have done?
Jackass.
