(4,091 posts)Quoted amendment to the NC 1868 constitution...
Section 2. That all political power is vested in and derived from the people; all government of right originates from the people, is founded upon their will only, and is instituted solely for the good of the whole.
Hard to believe, that is where the Republican party was in 1868...contrast that with where it was in 1968 or 2018.
Rand was an asshat, loved by those who were born rich and privileged or those who want to be rich and privileged and aren't worried about any moral limitations that might keep them from getting what they want, when they want it.
Rand is basically Veruca Salt from Charlie and the chocolate factory with a better vocabulary and an editor who wouldn't say no to thousands of pages of crap.
