Glenn Beck, TEA Parties and red logos
The Swampby Mark Silva While everyone is busy disputing the size of the "TEA Party'' protest in Washington over the weekend -- tens of thousands, perhaps, but certainly not "more than 30 million'' -- our colleague, Christopher Knight, at the L.A.......Tags: Glenn Beck, Parties and Movements, Washington (U.S. state), Dick Armey, Texas

'Right wing' doesn't equal 'terrorist'
"If history were to repeat itself," warned President Franklin D. Roosevelt in his 1944 State of the Union address, "and we were to return to the so-called normalcy of the 1920s, then it is certain that even though we shall have conquered our enemies on...

A lack of appetite for this conservative
WASHINGTON -- Whoever thinks there's no such thing as a free lunch has not been to the Heritage Foundation. After Sen. Mike Lee's speech to the conservative think tank Monday, his listeners didn't rush to the front of the room, where the Utah Republican...

"Atlas Shrugged" evil alive and well
John Galt, the evil genius of Ayn Rand's novel "Atlas Shrugged," is "alive and well" roaming the halls of Congress.

Atlas isn't shrugging
Charlie Peters, a self-described "neoliberal" who edited The Washington Monthly, told me many years ago that the problem with liberals is they see themselves as heroes in a novel. Many conservatives today do the same thing, and they know just the novel:...

She's the best antidote to today's selfish thinking
She's an artist, teacher-therapist and giver who donates all proceeds from the sale of her art to charity. She's the opposite of the "greed-is-good" poison.

For Mitt Romney and us, Ayn Rand is poor role model
Mitt Romney's choice of Paul Ryan as his running mate has ramped up interest in the author/philosopher Ayn Rand.

Patt Morrison Asks: Robert Reich, Pre-Occupied
![Robert Reich has worked in a lot of big white buildings -- in the Senate, as an intern to Robert F. Kennedy; in the office of then-Solicitor General Robert Bork; in the Ford and Carter administrations; and as labor secretary to President Clinton. Now the political economist works in another set of big white buildings, teaching at UC Berkeley, where his "Wealth and Poverty" class is as overbooked as a bargain flight to Paris, and where he dotes on his 3-year-old granddaughter, to whom he dedicated his latest book, "Aftershock": "To Ella Reich-Sharpe, and her generation."](http://www.latimes.com/media/thumbnails/column/2011-12/66827388-16174102.gif "Robert Reich has worked in a lot of big white buildings -- in the Senate, as an intern to Robert F.
