Proteus commented on American Life League Urges American Catholic Bishops Not to Give Communion to Anyone Supporting Abortion.

Proteus commented on Children Are Parasites Who Take and Take and Take.
Many have pointed out that Rand's protagonists either don't have families or have heroically chosen to cut off all ties with their families. They certainly don't concern themselves with anything as mundane as caring for children, and they wouldn't be caught dead admitting that their own parents contributed anything to make them what they are.

Proteus commented on President Obama Shoveled Some World-Class Shit at George W. Bush's Library Today.
Nobody gets to be President without possessing a skill for pretending to like people they detest when the situation calls for it.
