Selfish and Stupid! — Calling Out the "Party of No"
February 16, 2010
Special 3-hour show! (1:52 without commercials)
Mark guest-hosts for Leslie Marshall in a show you will not want to miss.
Finally, someone (Mark) has the balls to call those conservative Republicans who would shut the Government down rather than compromise what they really are:
SELFISH and STUPID!
(and Sanctimonious and Scared…)
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

Perhaps, and this is unfortunate, those Ayn Rand followers who are conservatives are indeed using her book to justify keeping things for themselves and not sharing. However, I must point out that in those books, the heros were selfish in the way that they didn’t take what didn’t belong to them. There is a big difference between the selfishness that is advocated by Rand, and the selfishness of the radical right of today, of which Rand (and myself) do not approve. In the end, we should put ourselves above everyone else and make us comfortable, but NOT at the discomfort of others, which is a huge Rand principle.
Furthermore, if selflessness is something that makes you happy, then indeed you are fulfilling a selfish desire by being selfless. This is also advocated by Rand (read the selfless acts in Galt’s Gulch in Atlas Shrugged or the selfless acts by Mike the construction worker in The Fountainhead). Rand too often gets a bad rap because of the amount of radical conservatives that twist her words for their own agenda. In all reality, if she were living today, she would hate both Republicans and Democrats equally.
