Paul Ryan Flip Flops On Ayn Rand
“I reject her philosophy,” Ryan says firmly. “It’s an atheist philosophy. It reduces human interactions down to mere contracts and it is antithetical to my worldview. If somebody is going to try to paste a person’s view on epistemology to me, then give me Thomas Aquinas,” who believed that man needs divine help in the pursuit of knowledge. “Don’t give me Ayn Rand,” he says.

I was stunned to see Paul Ryan throwing his old idol under the bus. I guess Ryan has come to appreciate that, if he ever wants to attain a higher office, such as become a vice-presidential pick, he needs to rate Jesus and Christianity considerably higher than the anti-Christ Ayn Rand.
