Even Gipper can't pull this one out

Even Gipper can't pull this one out - Robert Borosage
Borosage argues that Reagan's conservative ideology "is at the root of Bush's failures." A deep, deep misunderstanding! Borosage will never change his mind, but what if others see Bush and Reagan in the same way?

Here is what John Ridley said about power, about achieving a position from which to sway public debate: "All that matters is accomplishment. The very pinnacle of ascendancy is the ability to live and work without regard for the sentiments of others and with, as Sister Rand would tell us, a selfish virtue."

I couldn't place the reference to Sister Rand, figuring she was someone like Sister Souljah or someone else I didn't know about. Then I realized Ridley was referring to Ayn Rand!

Long live individual autonomy and self-reliance! Where can I get John Ridley's e-mail address?
