I left a comment at the blog asking for actual citations, as it was obvious that some quotes were taken out of context.

However, the blog owner must approve any comments which are made.

Since this guy is obviously pushing an agenda, I doubt very highly that he'll publish my comment.

I recognized most of the quotes that are attributed to Rand as her words. I agree with them 100%. I'll have to research a couple of them.

  I didn't recognize #21 because it is totally out of context. The author of that crud is obviously a lying POS with an agenda.

    “The person who loves everybody and feels at home everywhere is the true hater of mankind.”
    
    Not everyone is worthy of attention.
    
    But yeah it is a silly article, I take it they are comparing Ayn Rand quotes to satanic quotes?

  I didn't recognize #1 and #6. In fact, they seem anti-Objectivist.

    #1 is from We the Living, which I read in a day. That's why I don't remember it.
    
    #6 is from Journals of Ayn Rand, which I haven't read in its entirety.
    
    Both are taken out of context and misconstrued.

      Not any more than "Exploit the Earth or Die"

      Affirm that. Of course the author is another moron with an agenda, just like the rest of the moochers.
