Don't you think the film version of Atlas Shrugged will just confuse the tea baggers and freeps?

Taggard's company in the film is trying to build high speed rail, but the greedy Government is trying to stop her.
Meanwhile in real life, Republican Gov. Scott is canceling plans for high speed rail because.....

Won't they leave the theater trying to remember whether they are for or against trains?

On second thought, I'm probably fooling myself to think they'd see any contradiction.

Publically funded luxury trains for tax-dodging, chickenhawk Republicon billionaires are good, but mass transit trains for American proles are eViL socialism.

7. Privately funded trains only. Just like movies only made by non-union actors and crew.

Oh, wait...

11. I heard Limbaugh tell a caller, "you don't have to read, that's why

I'm here, I'll tell you what to think."

He was dead serious and the caller he was talking to didn't miss a beat or object to what he said.

9. Most won't see it at all. They'll just say they did.

Actually seeing it would interrupt their Fox News watching. Besides, have you seen the cost of going to a movie lately. Dayumn! And they don't even sell beer or Cheetos in the theater.
