This is class, guys. Rand's pursuit of better and refusal to heel to crap, stifling conditions is inspiring. I also never realised that she had left her family behind.
Perhaps the greatest American of all, Ayn Rand, was born in St
Petersburg, which is very much in keeping with what I have experienced most of my life. The best Americans, the ones who understand just how precious and wonderful it is most, were almost all born somewhere else. Look at your own story, and the stories of so many of the leading Objectivist intellectuals. Indeed, all of you CHOSE America and in many cases went through great hardship to become Americans. Thank God that bureaucrat granted her visa. He didn't know it, but he changed the world.
Ms Vergara Cid, Immigration is a rational situation for America, when the protection of the American citizen's health and welfare are maintained. Communicable diseases must be "monitored" in an orderly & controlled manner. Fugitives from justice, immigrant criminals and other malfeasants cannot be allowed to enter the American borders. Immigrants that desire and profess the ideals of the American citizen in general are welcome and desired to make America a home for capitalism.
These guidelines can support a rational immigration policy, rather than the uncontrolled policy of the last four years! As long as the ARI speaks out for rational controls, I see a productive American future and continued support for the ARI.
Also, too bad the rational support for Isreal cannot be identified for other religions. Are not all religions constructed on the same irrational foundations?
I remember reading 'Atlas Shrugged' in college at the insistence of an attractive young woman. At the time I knew enough about the history of railroading in America to realize Rand's understanding of capitalism was about as deep as Horatio Alger's. I have to admit that I have probably heard of more people citing it as their favorite or most influential book than of any other, but in most such cases it seems to have been the only book they ever read. I invariably feel sorry for such people; they seem to know nothing of real literature or real life. They live in a dream world. Unfortunately, a lot of them seem to be running the real world.
Loved reading more about my favorite author’s life. Thank you.
Just waiting for the modern day John Galt to make himself known.
Thank you for reading, Josephine!

This is the kind of life stories Hollywood should make movies about.

Objectivism is explicitly anti Christian. If you don't agree then read Atlas Shrugged again.
She vilifies the Gospel in no uncertain terms.
