From Mark Frauenfelder at BoingBoing: Noted speed freak, serial-killer fangirl, and Tea Party hero Ayn Rand was also a kleptoparasite, sneakily gobbling up taxpayer funds under an assumed name to pay for her medical treatments after she got lung cancer. An interview with Evva Pryror, a social worker and consultant to Miss Rand's law firm of Ernst, Cane, Gitlin and Winick verified that on Miss Rand's behalf she secured Rand's Social Security and Medicare payments which Ayn received under the name of Ann O'Connor (husband Frank O'Connor). As Pryor said, "Doctors cost a lot more money than books earn and she could be totally wiped out" without the aid of these two government programs. Ayn took the bail out even though Ayn "despised government interference and felt that people should and could live independently... She didn't feel that an individual should take help."

You mean before you and your associates exterminated them? It's hard to adopt 'pretty little babies' if you murder them before their first breaths of air out of the womb.

To: A K A Stone (#21) Me and my associates have adopted zero babies. The liberals killed them all. Not funny. My question was serious. All of the money that is spent on anti- abortion activities might better be spent adopting the helpless children born to parents ill-suited to raise a child. It would still require punishment for repeat offenders. Once is a mistake. Twice is an affront to God and nature. harrowup  posted on  2011-04-18   20:39:26 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #25.

That's an interest revelation and logical solution of a civilization, culture, and society that is actually concerned with stability and righteousness. However, IT'S NOT. Look beyond logic... The Powers-That-Be have planned the current climate of instability and chaos since the mid-60s.

To: CZ82 (#19) So which one is right??????? Who the hell knows????? European teens have lower pregnancy and abortion rates because they have access to contraceptives, permission to use it, and frank parental/cultural guidelines. American teens, on the other hand, think of being prepared as a bad idea and a "jinx." According to one young man, "I don't think you should prepare to have sex, 'cause if you carry a condom it's like you are expecting to have sex, so yeah, I don't think you should carry one." The kids say that boys who carry condoms are seen as "promiscuous" and girls who do this are seen as "sluts." One guy sums it up with, "Yeah, no condoms for me." www.slate.com/id/2272631/ Watch the slide show. The Republican budget goes after children and the poor.

To: diva betsy ross (#35) Liberalism is a mental disorder. It is true. Now where have I heard that before????? Psychiatrist Confirms: Liberalism Is a Mental Disorder February 17, 2008 Psychiatrist Confirms: Liberalism Is a Mental Disorder As a clinical and forensic psychiatrist, Lyle Rossiter has treated over 1,500 patients and examined over 2,700 civil and criminal cases. Turning his hand to political psychopathology, the author of The Liberal Mind: The Psychological Causes of Political Madness, has diagnosed an alarming percentage of the population as suffering from the grotesque form of mental derangement known by some as moonbattery. Among Rossiter's observations: Based on strikingly irrational beliefs and emotions, modern liberals relentlessly undermine the most important principles on which our freedoms were founded. Like spoiled, angry children, they rebel against the normal responsibilities of adulthood and demand that a parental government meet their needs from cradle to grave. A social scientist who understands human nature will not dismiss the vital roles of free choice, voluntary cooperation and moral integrity — as liberals do. A political leader who understands human nature will not ignore individual differences in talent, drive, personal appeal and work ethic, and then try to impose economic and social equality on the population — as liberals do. And a legislator who understands human nature will not create an environment of rules which over-regulates and over-taxes the nation's citizens, corrupts their character and reduces them to wards of the state — as liberals do. The roots of liberalism — and its associated madness — can be clearly identified by understanding how children develop from infancy to adulthood and how distorted development produces the irrational beliefs of the liberal mind. When the modern liberal mind whines about imaginary victims, rages against imaginary villains and seeks above all else to run the lives of persons competent to run their own lives, the neurosis of the liberal mind becomes painfully obvious. Basically liberalism is a willful failure to mature beyond adolescence that can have catastrophic consequences for society. With luck, the official diagnosis of this disease by a mental health professional will facilitate the search for a cure.

To: A K A Stone, CZ82 (#54) An example was their willingness to shut down the government in order to keep funding a company named Planned Parenthood You are correct that this is the third rail of the Democrat Party. The reason is simple and one that must never be discussed and that is the racial element to abortion. The Black Caucus would abandon the party in a second if any reasonable approach to abortion control would ever be suggested. This has been true since the South abandoned the Democrats and tried to reason with the caucus, and then had to become Republican instead. The SCOTUS never never never should have suggested it was legal and there needs to be a good case to overturn it and damn the Black Caucus and the money changers at Planned Parenthood and its sister lesbian society chums at NOW. It's all about money now. Nothing to do with morals or integrity on the left.
