Ayn Rand, the Queen of conservative cultural propaganda lived through the Russian Revolution to see her father’s PROPERTY taken by the GOVERNMENT. And what could be worst than that? Not much for the proud author of The Virtue of Selfishness, Next only to the Bible in Republican reading rooms…
Rand was an intellectual who was the first to understand how to popularize Right-wing ideology by using populist writing that any uneducated American could understand. What 17 year old could not love rebellious Jon Galt and company? It is the very basis of the Tea Bagging mentality, they hate IT, but they are not smart enough to know exactly what it is they hate so much. Ayn Rand helps them along with that. Sharing their PROPERTY. Especially with the you know whos and the sabe whos.
The big question of course is how today’s God Fearing Republicans can accept this uppity over educated intellectual LOUD atheist as their ideological backdrop? Beyond Jon’s answer that these talk show hosts will use anything to push their crap, it is that PROPERTY trumps not only God but health care, education and promoting the general welfare.
I have just heard that HINDUS are on the low end of the religious caste system. The religions of THE BOOK are better I am told. But you know, there must be something to reincarnation as it is more than obvious that Ayn Rand has come back as Ron Paul.
This of course may answer the atheist problem. Ron Paul is an Evangelical Fundamentalist Creationist and rabid Pro Life States Right Forever Ayn Randian. How could that be? I would suppose that like Mormon Glenn Beck, Ron Paul is also insane. The Looneytarian Pages at Kick!
