What I find most interesting is that these are two almost wholly opposite doctrines. You could not find two more dissimilar doctrines if you tried, and yet the Repugs manage to force through their cognitive dissonance and embrace both. I'm surprised their heads don't explode.

Rand vs. Jesus
Selfishness vs. Selflessness
Rampant Capitalism vs. Communist Socialism
Atheist vs. Theist


It's just nuts. Other than through ignorance of either or both doctrines,* I don't know how anyone can support both Ayn Randianism and Jesus-ism at the same time.

*Which is how I bet most do it. If all a person knows about Jesus, or Rand is what the guys and gals at Fox said...
