Mark Levin may have done more to jump start this movement by spending about 25 to 30 minutes reading from the chapter and mentioning how it is dead on.

A huge boost if we do not fuck it up.

Chapter 7 in my copy is The "Inexplicable Personal Alchemy". Is that what he read from

Hmm I was on the phone with a client and have the Yankee game on tv muted.

However, I thought he said chapter 7 - we are talking about the 2nd version of the original

He was talking about the ungrowthers and the red environmental movement.

Peter Schwartz has some three (3) additional articles.

I checked and he said chapter 7, but he read from The Anti-Industrial Revolution, which is chapter 8 in my copy (the old Signet edition with a white cover).

To have Mark Levin endorse Rand may be more of a liability than an asset. I catch his radio program once in a while; he is a fanatical conservative ideologue. And let us remember how much Rand detested conservatives.

He is Constitutional conservative and strongly libertarian.

He has also spoken well of Rand for years, as has Beck and Limbaugh.

Ayn's isolation from politics has never been a decision I supported because I am political and not a purist.

However, I understand your alert.

Frankly, I would love to listen to you and Levin discuss the founders.

Had my friend pick me up two (2) copies of Plunder and Deceit at Cosco.

By by Barnes and Noble, I will miss you as I miss any passing of any bookstores.

He is another writer who starts out with a framing/fundamental question.

CAN WE SIMULTANEOUSLY LOVE our children but betray their generation and generations yet born!

That is the opening line.

Mark also read from Rand again and said, "She was prescient."

I wonder if "Ideologue" is the right word for conservatives. Their ideas come off an emotional, not intellectual base. These are not the days of Burke and the guy who said natural rights philosophy is "nonsense on stilts"--Bentham--some kind of real genius but on moral issues the complete opposite of Rand. I'd bet you'd like to have a conversation or two with him, but 200 years apart is too much the breach.

For me a conservative ideologue would be someone like Russell Kirk, who larded on the religion--or L. Brent Bozell sr., who ghost-wrote The Conscience of a Conservative, a book worth reading for Barry Goldwater was the purported author and it was excellent of its kind, but, like all these conservatives, historical and contemporary, reason is only as reason does. Rand had the same problem only in another way, so it's no mix and match because of her atheism. Rand was an ideologue. There is no understanding Objectivism without understanding that, for she made it. Those who don't who agree with it treat it like Jeremy's body, but without the humor and honesty of "present but not voting."

the older I get the more I feel the American Revolution happened yesterday; I mean my paternal grandfather was born 144 years ago--what's 144 years?--not much: he tagged along with the "Sooners" as a boy and voted for Grover Cleveland and scared Teddy Roosevelt on the streets of Chicago by calling out a greeting (after he was shot in 1912) and just had to go and hear Caruso sing

I had no idea that Theodore Roosevelt had been shot. Thanks for the history lesson. National Park Service here: http://www.nps.gov/thrb/learn/historyculture/whoshottr.htm
