“There is ample evidence to suggest that leading Republican members of the House and Senate are a good deal more familiar with the fiction of Ayn Rand than with the self-evident truths of Thomas Jefferson, James Madison or Abraham Lincoln.”

Well, that’s disturbing.
But, like all things with these people, they cherry pick what they want to hear from her philosophy.
What they like to prop up are her limited government / capitalistic beliefs.
I must state that I am morally opposed to her philosophy and think that what she preaches is vile, venomous, and the current interpretation of her philosophy is dangerous, reckless, and ill-informed.
A philosophy dedicated only to the preservation of self at the expense of community, giving, and concern for the welfare of others is just absurd and not a world I want to live in.
Cuz who wants to give poor people handout? They aren’t givin’ me shit!
