    About this ebook

    Ayn Rand was a sociopath and her ideology can be seen and felt in the modern republican party. The failure of our congress to govern for the 99% while they favor the oligarchy that inhabit the top 1% is destroying the nation.

    This book should shed some light on their misguided principals.

      The Republican Con - John Roberts

      Republicans Suck!

      John Luke

      Copyright 2011 by John Roberts.

      Smashwords Edition

      These capitalists generally act harmoniously and in concert to fleece the people, and now that they have got into a quarrel with themselves, we are called upon to appropriate the people's money to settle the quarrel. Abraham Lincoln

      In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists, and will persist. Dwight Eisenhower

      Let’s begin with what Ayn Rand considered the ideal man.

      In 1928 Rand wrote her journal, in it there is a passage that calls out for attention, What is good for me is right, this quote was not written by Rand, it was credited to the infamous mass murderer of the day, William Edward Hickman. In response to his motto in life and his personal philosophy she wrote The best and strongest expression of a real man's psychology I have heard, Finally, it would seem Ayn found a real man could zealously worship.

      William Edward Hickman was the most notorious American of the late 1920’s.

      In 1927 Hickman was 19 years old. In December of that year, he went to a Los Angeles public school and convinced the school to release a 12 year old girl named Marian Parker to his care. Once Hickman kidnapped Marian, he sent Mr. and Mrs. Parker multiple ransom notes. The letters were unusually crewel and sadistic- it would seem this kidnapper wasn’t just in it for money; he seemed to enjoy taunting the parents.

      Hickman demanded the sum of $1,500 for the child's safe release. The father was able to raise the money to deliver to William. At the rendezvous, Mr. Parker handed over the money to a young man who was waiting for him in a parked car. When Mr. Parker paid the ransom, he could see his daughter, Marion, sitting in the passenger seat next to the suspect. As soon as the money was exchanged, the suspect drove off with the victim still in the car. At the end of the street, Marion's corpse was dumped onto the pavement. She was dead. (We need to shed a little more detail on Hickman’s carnage, before we do a warning: For the squeamish, or the highly empathetic you may want to skip this part.) Her legs had been chopped off and her eyes had been wired open to appear as if she was still alive. Her internal organs had been cut out and pieces of her body were later found strewn all over the Los Angeles area.

      The atrocities Hickman perpetrated on the child were grotesque and unforgiving. Before he killed her, there was speculation that he molested the girl, but without advanced forensics the evidence for this was never acquired and the claims were never conclusively proven.

      Rand was an enthusiastic fan of the child murderer and mutilator.

      After the tragic events of the Parker murder, Rand was
