Friend of mine wrote a letter to the editor and it's utterly delicious. I asked if I could spread it around and he said sure. Where better than here?
Enjoy.
Here's the letter...
Dear Editor,
How can the Republicans now claim Ayn Rand as their role model? The woman was not only an Atheist but actually hated the concept of God. She wrote, "THE CONCEPT OF GOD IS DEGRADING TO A MAN."
Rand, originally Alisa Rosenbaum, was of Russian/Jewish heritage. She was a despicable and nasty human being. Rand thought that helping one's neighbor was foolish and hated volunteerism. Very Christ-like!
She was an arrogant hypocrite. When asked if she worried about getting cancer from smoking, Rand said that she is one of the strong people and will not contract the disease. She didn't believe in any government programs to help folks. But after being afflicted with cancer, she let Medicare pay for the treatment. She also received SSI under her husband's name.
I'm confused. How can Rand be the new hero of the Republicans? Perhaps, they look at her and see themselves.
Sincerely,
(my friend's name)
Isn't that sweet?
For the moment I'm leaving off my friend's name, till I hear back if it's okay for me to include it. I'll update as soon as I hear, one way or the other.
