So tired of "John Galt" bumper stickers.

I'm a delivery driver in an unfortunately leftist town in Florida.

All day I see this "Who is john Galt?" CRAP everywhere I look.

Sorry, but some ugly old bag of a woman from a hundred years ago's unrealistic and stupid political opinions (vaguely outlined under the guise of a horribly over-written fiction) mean nothing to me.

So who do all these tool bags think they're impressing with their retarded John Galt stickers?

They plaster their back windshield with these stickers AS IF they actually read through the entire book, instead of getting 1/10th of the way through it before using for what is was originally intended for... A pretentious display prop declaring their self aggrandizing ignorance in their crusty cockroach infested living rooms.

Will this stupid fad die soon?

The ridiculous Johnny Cash fad died!

Now its John Galts turn to die.

Please go away and die, John Galt.

I don't care who you are, you imaginary Loser.

 

Seriously though, who is John Galt?

 

Who is John Galt?

 

Wow. That's so original.

 

You haven't seen anything yet. How about this?


WHO IS JOHN GALT? WELL, THE QUESTION "WHO'S YOUR DADDY?" COMES TO MIND!

 

Not entertained, or impressed. Try again.

And now 27 UNORIGINAL MORONS are going to reply with

"Who is john Galt"

 

I waa seriously wondering tho. Hes from some ayn rand bovel right? atlas ahrugged?

 

I thought John Galt was an imaginary righty.

 

He is.

This thread was full of fail from the outset.

.

 

I've never seen the Galt sticker. Can they really be a fad if they're invisible?

If seeing too many of these stickers is your worst problem, you must really be young. In a few years, you'll laugh at the memory.

Why do you care when something was said, or who said it? The ancient philosophers have been dead for millennia, and their words still ring true.

What makes you think anyone should care whether Rand's writing means anything to you? Are you a person of renown whose opinions command respect?

You say you live in an "unfortunately leftist" town. Do you know that Galt is a fictional icon of the right, not the left?

Have you read Atlas Shrugged or tried to read it? If not, why trouble others with your "opinion" of it? Even if you haven't read it, do you know what it has to say?

That being said, I agree that sloganeering on stickers or buttons is a wasted effort.

 

I know damn well his character was all about free market and all that.

It was immature unrealistic writing from rand.

I HAPPEN to live in an u fortunately leftist town.

I'm miles above you guys. Why do I even try?

Everyone knows Galt is extreme right.

I'm above your pathetic illusory left/right paradigm.

Right is one part of leftism.

Check out some Jonah Goldberg and get back to me.

 

Who is Jonah Goldberg? Chapter 4, verse 11...

 

Johnny Cash fad? Did I miss something or did you just call a man with a music career that spanned over 50 years "a fad".

Anyways, I've never seen a John Galt bumper sticker and I don't see how living in a leftist town would have any relevance on such a bumper sticker.

I do agree, however, that Atlas Shrugged was horribly written and pure drudgery to read...so at least there's that.

 

It matters because the pseudo right-wingers in my leftist town are being pretentious with their stupid John Galt stickers.

Now, Cash himself was not a fad, but when he was dying, and right after he died, all these 22 year old kids started getting all into him like he Wasn't just some obsolete country singer (who wasn't all that great to begin with).

Everybody in my town likes to fake the funk.

 

You confuse me.

Either I don't get you, because I'm not as smart or as informed as you, or you just like trying to throw me off my game, with nonsensical rebuttals, because you're jealous of my verbal prowess.

 

What part of Florida are you in?

 

Somewhat near the gooey pretentious center.

 

You're clearly angry at more than a silly bumper sticker and being "miles above" has somehow given you license to mischaracterize individuals based on mild criticism of said tirade.

Aaaaaaand, I'm going to venture a guess that you're "prowess" is not nearly tuned fine enough to recognize the the rest of the truckload of irony contained within just 16 posts.

The pleasure has been all mine.

I tune my prowess to E flat.

 

Sorry for the confusion. Jonah is in the Bible, but I don't know who is Jonah Goldberg. You mention left/right paradigm, so you had me a little confused as well.

 

Jonah Goldberg is a closet anarchist hiding behind a mask of conservatism, who is wise.

My personal beliefs are outside even his amazing (though inherently limited in scope) left/right analysis of major international politics of the last 100 years.

 

Near the sweaty boot heel.

 

Meh, I live in Nashville where the man is immortal. Cash crossed all boundaries. He has fans of all ages and even many people who hate country music love his unique style. In the world of country music he is king and outside of country music he is still legendary. In my opinion, the music he created at the end of his life was very powerful stuff.

Having said that, I understand the hipster-esque propensity to display disdain for anything that other people like. I have some old friends in Midtown Memphis who would likely agree wholeheartedly with you. They're the types that only like bands that nobody has ever heard of and cease liking them once other people manage to catch wind. They crack me up. "Hey have you heard the new set that the Undead Smurfs are doing?" "Nope...and neither has anyone else except for you and your dreadlocked girlfriend from Indiana..."

But now I'm just rambling. Tell me more about what bothers you so much about the Galt stickers. Around here there are generally 3 types of stickers: Obama stickers, NRA stickers, and then the funny ones like "If you're going to ride my ass, the least you could do is pull my hair."

 

Cash did a bunch of covers, and some songs other people wrote for him at the end of his life.

I'm anything but a hipster. I listen to Ride the Lighting, then I listen to LMFAO, then some 80s synth pop, then I shave my head and blaze out watching wrestling DVDs, from my massive collection of wrestling DVDs. Typically.

 

Been there a bunch.

Let's face it, all of FL sucks, but I'm never leaving my home state. I love it.
