Commentary: The Left’s Power of Intimidation

Ayn Rand’s 1957 novel, Atlas Shrugged, contains a message of hope for all who look to the invincible juggernaut of state power. She writes, “The great oak tree had stood on a hill over the Hudson . . . for hundreds of years . . . it was a thing that nothing could change or threaten . . . One night, lightning struck the oak tree . . . The trunk was only an empty shell; its heart had rotted away long ago; there was nothing inside-just a thin gray dust that was being dispersed by the whim of the faintest wind.”

  1. "The Left’s Power of Intimidation" is evaporating before our eyes. Without Twatters cancel culture which Musk mostly eviscerated yesterday by decapitating Twatters executive suite, the Left will be begging scraps in the public square soon.

    The next shoe to fall in that space will be when he issues thousands of pink slips, hopefully today, to the self righteous cancel committee that remains.

    Fuck Them. Learn to code.

  2. there nothing in life more fun than giving or watching some bully get their ass kicked.
    and for far too long those punks behind keyboards have gotten away with destroying a lot
    of people just because they don't like something about them.
    I really miss the old days where you could just bust them in the mouth.
    what would be even better is if dueling made a comeback. let some asshole run his mouth
    when he has to back it up with his life. there would be a lot less assholes doing it.
    one thing I have learned in life is that most asshole will run away instead of facing you.
    grandpa was right about that.

  3. I read Rand's book in the early 70s ... also read How I Found Freedom In An Unfree World by Harry Brown. Those books changed my life for the better. I didn't grow up confused and naive. Any thing leftist gave me a gag reflex. Sort of like having bullshit detectors build right in.
