Thoughts Aloud

The Liberty Papers has an incredible compilation of links to recent references to Atlas Shrugging and “going Galt.” One could spend hours reading all the source documents and blog posts at “Will Atlas Shrug? A Compilation of Blogosphere Commentary about ‘Going Galt’“:

There’s a new craze hitting the conservative tubes on the Internets these days: “Going Galt!” While it’s difficult to identify an exact date of reference or to provide any unique person with credit for the general meme, Michelle Malkin and Helen Smith certainly deserve honorable mention for recently popularizing the phrase.

This movement seems to have manifested itself in two distinct, but related, forms: those who say, more-or-less, that “I ain’t gonna produce more that 249,999 dollars and 99 cents of taxable income” as well as those more accustomed to singing “Amazing Grace” than Twisted Sister taking to the streets across America chanting “we’re not gonna take it anymore.”

Here are some relevant (and hopefully balanced) quotes I’ve found on all sides of the aisle regarding this recent phenomenon. Enjoy!

Yes, do peruse at least a few. â—„Daveâ–º
