Paul Ryan (Rand?) Part 2

Paul Ryan is a Liar Part 2

I have written how Paul Ryan disavowed his lifelong allegiance to Ayn Rand recently. He went from requiring his staff to read Rand's novels, to suddenly denying her completely. This was in response to Catholic Nun's criticism. He then lied, completely lied, that he had never agreed with Rand's philosophy.

Videos have surfaced, showing Ryan, a couple years ago, explaining that Ayn Rand was the greatest single influence on his life and had led him into public service. Ryan goes into great detail that Rand's philosophy on politics, morality and society has driven his decisions and his career choice.

So, he was (is) a Rand disciple (is relative to capitalism, was relative to the immoral and anti-Christian Rand....which is the essence of Ayn Rand!).

And as a disciple, I would think, since Rand died decades ago, Ryan would know of Ayn Rand's history and her positions.

If I am a disciple of someone, I certainly would know that person's complete background if I avow that person was a deciding factor in my career choice, my life philosophy; etc.

Ok, agreed, Paul Ryan is a devotee of Ayn Rand.

Rand was an anti-communist. She was a pro-capitalist. She believed that statism was wrong, that the individual was the most important factor in society. She believed even, that society was not real, that only the individual perception of reality was real.

Ok, so far so good, I can see why Ryan, a conservative libertarian, would adore Rand.

Now, for the hard part. Rand also was a devoted atheist, who wrote in ALL of her works, that faith and religion corrupted society and ruined cultures. She preached that there is no God, that faith weakens morality. In fact, her novels go on and on declaring that faith fatally compromises society.

Paul Ryan is a practicing Catholic. And he is a devotee of Ayn Rand, an atheist, whose philosophy, that Ryan said he adores, attacks religion at every turn.

How on earth can this be? Can you imagine if the same scenario existed relative to President Obama? The airways would be full of the anti-Christian Obama.

But for Ryan, a free pass, on a huge contradiction; and a disqualification for leadership. We are looking at electing as Vice President, a person who has pledged his life choices to an avowed atheist?

Now the next hard part. Ayn Rand was not only an atheist, she was a proponent of "open marriage", (free love), and slept with other men with abandon. She also was pro-choice, advocating abortion when it was illegal in most of the United States.

Ryan has sponsored legislation that would make abortion akin to murder, is a virulent anti-abortionist. You would not be surprised by that, but for him to also adhere to the philosophy of Ayn Rand is remarkable to say the least.

So, to summarize: Paul Ryan, is a Catholic who follows the philosophy of an atheist who was an strong advocate for abortion and free love. And we are to ignore that, because a few weeks, not years ago, Ryan declared suddenly, after a lifetime adoring the very ground Ayn Rand walked on, that he did not agree with her...anymore...since when he was selected to run for Vice President...honest...no finger crossing...maybe.

Bullshit! Pure bullshit. Ryan should explain this mammoth conflict of interest, or resign from his candidacy.
