Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged is an American classic first published in 1957. The plot concerns the crumbling of the United States economy due to collectivism and altruism. It has sold millions of copies in several languages.

Socialism may have stumbled with the fall of the Soviet Union but its resurgence in the West by naive leftists is one of the greatest dangers we face today. Look no further than Joe Biden to witness once again the absolute devastation of the Socialist mindset.

During an appearance on “Monday Night Football,” Green Bay QB Aaron Rodgers revealed that he has Rand’s famous novel “Atlas Shrugged” on his bookshelf.

Here's the tweet that's causing all the trouble.

The rest of the article gives some of the snark aimed at Rodgers from the left.

And snark there is. 

But note: he also said he was reading French poetry.

For me, that's the offensive part...

NFL's Aaron Rodgers excoriated for reading Atlas Shrugged

Quote

... Rodgers came off as someone the left detests most: a free thinker.  Ergo, he was The Enemy.

To top it all off, Rodgers was a guest on Monday Night Football's "ManningCast" during which the hosts — ex–NFL quarterback Peyton Manning and his brother Eli — discuss the game at hand and other matters.  Rodgers was asked what he likes to read.  He first told the Manning brothers that he reads "a lot of French poetry" before pointing to a bookshelf behind him and noting that he had "Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand over here."

Judging by the woke mob's response, it would have been better if he had said he had "The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx over here" or "Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov over here."

One denizen of the vast sewer that is the Twitterverse declared: "It's been very difficult watching Aaron Rodgers, my all-time favorite player, embrace everything I loathe.  But Atlas Shrugged?  Trade him.  F--- it."  So teams are to start trading players based on their reading material?  Somewhere, Xi Jinping smiles.

The Palmer Report tweeted: "Aaron Rodgers just bragged that he has Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged on his bookshelf.  Explains all his lying about being vaccinated and such.  He's one of those 'screw everyone else before they can screw you' wackos.  People like this are always a danger to others."

The truth is, those on the left hate anyone who disagrees with them, and anything that calls their propaganda into question.  They are wildly intolerant.

You can feel the fear in the bad guys.
