Audio Surfaces of Paul Ryan's Effusive Love of Ayn Rand

Why do lefties keep accusing Rep. Paul Ryan of making Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged required reading for his staff? Maybe because he said, "[font color="red"]It’s inspired me so much that it’s required reading in my office for all my interns and my staff[/font color]," and now we can hear him say it.

1. Annie Randy

Annie Randy is the same thing as the Catholic dogma, right ?Pauli says he's into both.

3. Well, it depends on what side one's on.

I'm Catholic, and I side with the Jewish fellow from Nazareth.

Too many, sad to write, choose to side with Satan and his bedfellows, the BFEE.

PS: A hearty welcome to DU, Betty Jo!

4. The quotes alone are worth the price of clicking.

"But the reason I got involved in public service, by and large, if I had to credit one thinker, one person, it would be Ayn Rand." - Paul Ryan, liar and crook.

5. K&R. Important find. He will try to pretend it was just a phase.

6. The guy's voice makes me think of George Orwell.

His words make me sure of it.

"If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever."

7. Kick for tag team tax dodgers.

Why is Paul Ryan saying he didn't say the things he said on the tape?

Is there a way to make our own copy before the Objectivists in their midst take it down?
