Ayn Rand was by anyone’s definition crazy, and a mean grumble on top of that. Her philosophy was largely based on Nietzsche's work, who was also nuts. Embracing the nihilistic philosophy of people that led extremely unhappy lives and that were very mentally unhinged seems just rock solid, doesn’t it to you?
But right there - Randian - you can see the inspiration for what Todd Akins and Mourdock were saying about rape - they got it from Ayn Rand that it was perfectly acceptable behavior. Not only acceptable, but would actually lead to romance and the rapist marrying the victim. THAT is how normal Ayn Rand was....not! |

I don’t share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently. I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

Wow! At least now I know how to get you guys completely unhinged. Mr. Boortz lead the charge against Akins after his remark, calling him an absolute lunatic, along with several other choice and creative discriptors. Perhaps it would be of value to listen before you speak. At least 20 minutes of today's show was devoted to calling out Akins and Mourdock for what they are and rubbing Republican noses in it again. I'll leave this here so I can watch Swake blow an O ring.  |

Mr. Boortz has a long history that isn't changed one iota by his being upset that Akin and Mourdock couldn't get their traps closed. And who's unhinged? |

I'll leave this here so I can watch Swake blow an O ring. I’m not afraid of her. I’ve read her books and a biography. She was a sad character. As a child she was a victim of the Russian Revolution. She was a lifelong drug addict with a real mean streak. She was narcissistic to the point of mental illness, especially after the man she cheated on her husband with for decades left her. She created a totalitarian cult around herself made of up sycophants who worshipped her but due to her growing paranoia by the end she was all alone having alienated everyone in her life. |

She's so cute. Wasn't it you who originally made the comment that Boortz was Randian?? Why, yes...it was!! |

He retires in about 70 days.
He's not a Republican, and many Republicans hate him because he supports crazy Libertarian ideas like the right to choose, strong separation of church and state, ending the war on drugs, and letting people marry or bugger whoever they want. That doen't stop them from listening to him, because, agree with him or not, he's not afraid to speak his mind, and what he says is difficult to discount. He has spent the last 10 years ripping the Republican party a new a-hole, in fact he is spending this morning doing the same.
Neal did not endorse Romney, he just liked him better than President Obama for extremely obvious reasons.
Democrats hate Neal because he believes in free markets, small government, and individual responsibility.
He has written 5 books including The Fair Tax Book. 100% of the profit from his books has been donated to his wife's charity, Investing in People. Neal & Donna Boortz, a woman who grew up in a garage without electricity or running water, now uses the procedes from his books to help self relient people get out of poverty through simple actions like providing transportion, clothing, housing, medical assistance, and legal aid.
He is the opposite of both parties, insensitive, unapologetic, Randian, and completely focused on individualism ans self reliance. You are correct, that is the current popular definition of crazy.
Yep, you pretty much described him. He is quite a character I am going to miss him. He always managed to give me a chuckle or two everything I listened to him. |
