and a few years ago, paul ryan said this about his favorite philosopher. i grew up reading ayn rand and it taught my quite a bet about who i am and what my value systems are and what my believes are. it s inspired my so much that it s required reading in my office for my staff. the reason i got involved in public service if i had to credit one thinker it would be ayn rand. when i had to point out that ayn rand was an atheist, paul ryan was then forced to say this. i reject her philosophy. it s an atheist philosophy. which was exactly what we
philosopher. i grew up reading ayn rand and it taught my quite a bet about who i am and what my value systems are and what my believes are. it s inspired my so much that it s required reading in my office for my staff. the reason i got involved in public service if i had to credit one thinker it would be ayn rand. when i had to point out that ayn rand was an atheist, paul ryan was then forced to say this. i reject her philosophy. it s an atheist philosophy. which was exactly what we were hoping he would say. in that same speech where paul
how does that grouping fit in with your philosophy? in other words, how do you share optionally. i don t think that family is the necessary unit of society. so doctrinaire paul ryan has shaped his thinking, based his career on a russian atheist writer who says she doesn t think the family is a necessary unit of society. imagine! imagine if barack obama had been a devoted follower of a russian atheist who insists that the family unit is unnecessary. imagine what mitt romney would be saying about that foreign 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?
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.
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. the discussion with johnny went on for half an hour, and johnny s sidekick, ed mcmahon, a distinguished graduate of catholic university, chimed in with this. in our culture, it seems that everything springs from family relationship, the little tiny individual groups of husband, wife, child, or whatever.
