Opinions/Editorials Title: Rand On the Dole Scott McConnell's Oral History of Ayn Rand includes an interview with a consultant of the Atlas Shrugged author and founder of the Objectivism cult, who details how she helped the artist formerly known as Alisa Zinovievna Rosenbaum get on the public tit. From Mark Frauenfelder at BoingBoing: Noted speed freak, serial-killer fangirl, and Tea Party hero Ayn Rand was also a kleptoparasite, sneakily gobbling up taxpayer funds under an assumed name to pay for her medical treatments after she got lung cancer. An interview with Evva Pryror, a social worker and consultant to Miss Rand's law firm of Ernst, Cane, Gitlin and Winick verified that on Miss Rand's behalf she secured Rand's Social Security and Medicare payments which Ayn received under the name of Ann O'Connor (husband Frank O'Connor). As Pryor said, "Doctors cost a lot more money than books earn and she could be totally wiped out" without the aid of these two government programs. Ayn took the bail out even though Ayn "despised government interference and felt that people should and could live independently... She didn't feel that an individual should take help."

Yep. That's why those programs were created.
#2. To: lucysmom (#1) The programs were created because of Rand? Your tagline is silly considering how much blood the democrats have on their hands murdering little pretty innocent babies.
#5. To: A K A Stone (#2) Your tagline is silly considering how much blood the democrats have on their hands murdering little pretty innocent babies. Of course there are Democrats that don't support the right to choose and Republicans who do - but that messes up the whole black and white approach to politics. Too bad life isn't that simple.

#49. To: Liberator (#28) although the Holy Sacrament of the Democrat Party IS Abortion. So in your opinion why is that????? Just curious....
#52. To: CZ82 (#49) So in your opinion why is that????? Just curious.... Can any democrat capture the democratic nomination without being for infanticide.
#53. To: A K A Stone (#52) Can any democrat capture the democratic nomination without being for infanticide Highly doubtful......
#54. To: CZ82 (#53) It unifies them more than any other issue. An example was their willingness to shit down the government in order to keep funding a company named Planned Parenthood which has subsidized the murder of millions of people.
#55. To: A K A Stone, CZ82 (#54) An example was their willingness to shut down the government in order to keep funding a company named Planned Parenthood You are correct that this is the third rail of the Democrat Party. The reason is simple and one that must never be discussed and that is the racial element to abortion. The Black Caucus would abandon the party in a second if any reasonable approach to abortion control would ever be suggested. This has been true since the South abandoned the Democrats and tried to reason with the caucus, and then had to become Republican instead. The SCOTUS never never never should have suggested it was legal and there needs to be a good case to overturn it and damn the Black Caucus and the money changers at Planned Parenthood and its sister lesbian society chums at NOW. It's all about money now. Nothing to do with morals or integrity on the left. And, sadly, the right has fallen into the trap of unrealistic expectations whatever the good intentions.
Replies to Comment # 55. You are correct that this is the third rail of the Democrat Party. And yet Harry Reid is anti-choice and would like to see Roe vs Wade overturned - go figure.
