I'm pretty sure that was one of the rules imposed by the government in "Atlas Shrugged", I'd have to get my copy off of the bookshelf to look up which one.
Directive 10-289

Point Two. All industrial, commercial, manufacturing and business establishments of any nature whatsoever shall henceforth remain in operation, and the owners of such establishments shall not quit nor leave nor retire, nor close, sell or transfer their business, under penalty of the nationalization of their establishment and of any and all of their property.
"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Sarah Silverman, a Bernie supporter: "To the Bernie or Bust people, you are being ridiculous."


I understand the Bernie supporter there were told if they booed they'd loose their seats.

In other words, "Get back on the reservation you idiots!"

I've heard something like that somewhere else recently... last week maybe?   :pondering:

Fortunately, they are easy to spot: they're the ones wearing the press credentials.

They remind me of Trump in the way they disregard other people's right of conscience.
Speaking of "right of conscience", apparently it's ok for Democrats, but not Republicans.

I could not bring myself to watch any of the GOP convention, and for sure I am not going to stomach the DNC either.  I'm quite sure I will hear all about the outrageous goings on ad infinitum, ad nauseum...

"It's hard to believe it's been eight years," Michelle Obama says, opening her speech to booming applause.

I think Ayn Rand just understood socialism very well... and socialism doesn't change.

Whoever wrote Michelle's speech deserves an award.  This is how you attack with a scalpel.
Roy Moore's "spiritual warfare" is driving past a junior high without stopping.

Michelle is cutting Trump to shreds, but not making much of a case for HIllary.
