Read <a href="http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/08/16/what-paul-ryan-learned-from-ayn-rand.html" rel="nofollow">THIS</a> and not from a Rightwing web site. Excerpt:<br /><br /><i>It worked for Wisconsin Rep. Paul D. Ryan, just as it has worked for tens of thousands of Rand adherents and acolytes over the last half century, including Ronald Reagan, Jack Kemp, Ron Paul, and Bob Barr. Like many of them, the chair of the House Budget Committee and this year’s Republican candidate for vice president first encountered Rand’s novels of heroic individualism and swashbuckling capitalism in adolescence. “I grew up reading Ayn Rand, and it taught me quite a bit about who I am and what my value systems are,” the congressman told a convention of Rand followers in 2005. Rand was “the reason I got involved in public service.” A passionate convert to her black-and-white, apocalyptic worldview, Ryan also became a missionary for her ideology. He required his congressional staff to read her novels as an introduction to real-world, free-market, and monetary theory. “We start with Atlas Shrugged,” he said in 2005. “Then we move on, and we require [Austrian economists Ludwig] von Mises and [Friedrich von] Hayek as well.”...</i><br /><br />The essay is not flattering of Ryan, but it does touch upon the appeal of Rand's philosophy.<br /><br />In fact, I, a product of the 60s, read <i>The Fountainhead</i> and <b>LOVED</b> the individualism expressed therein. I had zero idea about Objectivism, but the book did fire me up about taking care of my own interests <b>AND</b> standing up for what I believe in -- the latter a sort of bucking of the establishment.Always On Watchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192688822955022541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-15561679098320534502012-08-17T04:19:55.589-05:002012-08-17T04:19:55.589-05:00Liberalmann,

There is much more to Objectivism than atheism.<br /><br />BTW, it's not "Ryan's budget."

He knew that he had to fire up the conservative base.<br /><br /><i>if we screw this up now, I don't wanna see November...</i><br /><br />The GOP is notorious for pulling defeat from the jaws of victory.<br /><br />On the other hand, BHO and Biden keep stepping in it. I thought that BHO would dump Biden, but apparently, after the meeting at the White House, BHO decided to keep Biden. My guess is that Hillary turned down the offer to run as VP.<br /><br />Ryan, on the other hand, does make me enthusiastic about supporting the GOP ticket. Ryan and the fact that I cannot abide Barack <b>HUSSEIN</b> Obama. People say that his name is not his fault, but for so long BHO went by the monicker "Barry Soetoro." <a href="http://www.thedailybeast.com/newsweek/2008/03/22/when-barry-became-barack.html" rel="nofollow">HERE</a> is the Left's explanation.

Asked by Hume when the Romney plan would balance the budget, Ryan said he didn't know because "we haven't run the numbers on that specific plan."<br /><br />http://mediamatters.org/blog/2012/08/15/we-havent-run-the-numbers-a-startling-ryan-admi/189369Liberalmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04612454539046863752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-67056930687647010202012-08-15T14:24:40.502-05:002012-08-15T14:24:40.502-05:00(finally watched the video)
