My published letter on Ayn Rand in the Providence , Journal, December , 2014

I wonder how many readers of The Journal really know what this sinister Rhode Island Center for Freedom and Prosperity is all about? Just a hint: The Center, in 2012, issued an invitation to “all free-enterprise-loving citizens” to purchase tickets for the movie “Atlas Shrugged II,” based on the Ayn Rand novel, showing at the Lincoln Cinema World on that Oct. 12. The Center’s Internet ad tells the horde of Ayn Rand fans that free “Atlas Shrugged II” bonus items will be handed out, including an XXL-T-Shirt. The holy book of the Ayn Rand atheist cult is “The Virtue of Selfishness.” This godless cult, of course, worships money and capitalism, with crackpot Ayn as high priestess. Ron Ruggieri Cranston
