Finally got to see Atlas Shrugged Part 1, I found the blu-ray this weekend. I have been trying to see this movie since it came out. There was only one theater in the area showing the movie and it was way up on the north side of Indy. I have to drive up there enough for work so I was waiting for it to play somewhere closer. That proved to be a long wait, predictably, all the left-winged critics, (all critics) trashed the movie and it was here and gone before I knew it. So I bought the book and I’m glad I read it before I watched the movie.
The book was as long as a Stephen King novel. As I read it I kept checking the date it was first published, 50 years ago and it could have been written today. From everything I’ve been reading lately, it doesn’t sound like they are going to make Part 2 & 3. That’s a shame, I enjoyed the movie and it seem to be very faithful the book.
The trick to enjoying most movies it the ability to suspend belief. There was one part of the movie I found this impossible to do. That concerns a scene where the government is exerting more and more control over private businesses and they go to the extreme and declare it unlawful for any business to move that business to another state.
I mean that’s where they lost me, even in a movie how can they be so absurd as to say our left-winged government would stoop so low as to tell a private business what state they have to operate in? I mean come on, even a radical leftist like Obama would never try something as despicable as that. Huh? Boeing? South Carolina? Obama crony controlled NLRB?
Yeah of course I’m referring to Obama’s socialist attempt to pay off his union whore’s and stop Boeing from building a new plant in S.C. Not moving a plant mind you, a brand new plant to produce a brand new line of aircraft. I just read an article about NLRB’s decision to drop that effort and Sen. Graham’s call for an investigation of the NLRB’s collusion with the union involved with this case. http://news.yahoo.com/republicans-applaud-nlrb-decision-call-investigation-union-collusion-204141800.html
Obama can’t wreck our free market society by legislation so he is using the governmental agencies that he has corrupted by stacking these agencies with Alinsky clones.
I think there needs to be an investigation all right, but they need to investigate the Whitehouse as well. Obama has his own little criminal organization going and his syndication is growing and getting bolder by the day. His under-boss Attorney General Holder is brazenly crooked and so far has been getting away with murder. Yeah literal murder, i.e. Operation Fast and Furious.
I’m getting lost in the weeds again aren’t I?
I was talking about a movie and a book that seems more and more prophetic each day. If you have read the book you know exactly what I’m talking about. If you haven’t read it, get the book and read it. If you have the book, (RITA !) you need to read it.
I’m trying to come up with something profound to punctuate the end of this post, I...... got nothin.
I will just ask the question.
WHO IS JOHN GALT ?

I'd LOVE to read the book, as soon as they print it on OLD PEOPLE PRINT where they could actually read it.
I probably could have read it four years ago after Lasik screwed up my left eye, but left it good enough for reading. Now that one's shot too and I cannot read the fine print.
Yeah, I've tried the cheap reading glasses, but they don't account for the difference in my eyesight in either eye. You wouldn't understand.
When I can afford to get some prescription glasses, that should be IF I can ever afford, then I'll read it, but right now, I need the BIG PRINT to read.
and all this time on your hands going to waste. at least you could have dinner waiting on your hard working man when he gets home from work, haha
Are you KIDDING me? He get tired of having dinner waiting for him. I'll have something all planned out and just ready to serve and he'll call and ask if we can go out somewhere. That's why he never complains those few days I don't cook.
I am John Galt!
cjh
Wanna know something weird. The guy at Safeco insurance that is handling my accident claim is named John Galt.
Then he should be on strike with me and CJ !
From the way he processes claims, I think he already has been.
