1. I also wish more people would read a bit of Ayn Rand -- so that they would know how really

horribly immoral and anti-social she was.

Her philosophy is totally incompatible with any sense of the spiritual and/or social interdependency of us humans. And there for it contradicts in every sense fundamental Christian teaching.

Makes me think that Paul Ryan and Ted Cruz to the extent they claim to be Christian are either lying or just to stupid to understand the contradictions between Ayn Rand's philosophy and Jesus' teaching. They are, in other words, complete phonies. You cannot be a Christian and an Ayn Rand enthusiast at the same time. It is intellectually and spiritually impossible. I just hope that the would-be Christians who get duped into voting Republican figure that out in time. It really isn't that complicated if you read a little Ayn Rand or watch her videos.

3. "He did not get his way so he burned it down"

Kind of sounds like the GOP shutting the
government down.

2. I was appalled that Gary Cooper starred in "The Fountainhead"

I tried to enjoy the romance in the movie but
all I seen was a bunch of assholes being portrayed
by idols of mine.

Actually, too many movie stars are jerks,
must be the company they keep.

4. I'm glad John Oliver addressed this. K&R
