philosophy. imagine what the fox news players would be saying. fox news will never ever, ever, ever let fox news viewers see paul ryan s favorite philosopher saying what she just said. how disappointed would ayn rand be in her formerly devoted public disciple paul ryan? well, she wouldn t miss his devotion very much. because his recent betrayal just wouldn t surprise her. because paul ryan was never true to rand s philosophy. right-wing hero ayn rand couldn t stand ronald reagan. she urged people not to vote for ronald reagan and insisted that reagan clearly did not believe in freedom and respect for the rights of the individual, because among many other reasons, reagan opposed the right to choose abortion.
and ryan s pro-war stance in the congress on every issue and every funding issue involving the iraq war and the afghanistan war would have disappointed rand too. here she is, telling johnny her opinion of the american war of choice at that time. but i am against the war in vietnam, because it is a useless and senseless war, and it does not serve any national interest. ayn rand was a much clearer and much more consistent thinker than paul ryan could ever be. and she would have seen through paul ryan s phony devotion to her long before catholics united and vice presidential politics made him turn on her. ayn rand was smart enough to know that paul ryan used her. used her to appeal to wacky conservatives who oppose every abortion and support every war, and then delude themselves into thinking they are devoted followers of ayn rand, sighting ayn rand was the right wing s cheap way to sound intellectual. trying to sound like a thinking

objectivism is that man must be guided exclusively by reason. reason is the fact that identifies and integrates the material provided by his senses. that s the formal definition. that reason is man s only tool of knowledge, his only guide to action, and his only guide to the choice of valors. all of rand s writings, all of her books were very clear on this. reason is the only guide to values. religion should have no role in forming values in ayn rand s world. paul ryan now claims he had no idea he was following the teachings of an atheist, and that her philosophy was purely atheistic. he is, of course, lying about that. but since you can t be a good republican and an atheist, ryan is now locked into that lie. johnny carson certainly understood what ayn rand was saying. it s a belief, which you do not believe in, i assume, the existence of a supreme being or god or creator? no, i do not.
