Paul Ryan, the anti-progressive, the anti-utopian, the anti-liberal, I think he can campaign on it in this time of the Tea Party Movement. All this progressive crap is an attack on the middle class. The left always hated the bourgeoisie most of all. Look at PETA's hatred of all domesticated animals.

I like Paul Ryan. He has the right vision. He obviously doesn’t believe in throwing your hard earned money away into the hands of those who don’t deserve it.

I agree with you. He wrote the main article in the last issue of Imprimis (Hillsdale College newsletter) and it was very cogent and coherent.

Ryan. Republicans can do socialized medicine better.
This is the GOP equivalent of Bush’s Home Ownership Society.

Well I'll take Reagan's trickle down prosperity instead of the massive “stealing from the needy to give to the greedy” that has been followed by the O’s minions.

Paul Ryan should run for President! In addition to being spot on about healthcare, he is intelligent, has a grasp on issues, and would be hard to blindside in a debate. I would love to see him get more facetime so the rest of the public can understand him more.

This artcle tries REALLY hard to denigrate Ryan’s (and all of the Conservative) platform while gladhanding me. I’m sure the author would be surprised if he knew how many times I nodded my head and said ‘Yep!’ as I read it. There’s a lot of sneaky ‘conservatives want people to starve’ intimations in this.
Anyone else read this into it?

Ryan's plan would dramatically increase the budget deficit.Bullshit! The Laffer curve shows that increasing taxes always results in less tax-based revenue, while cutting taxes actually increases revenue. That is because when taxes are cut, there are more people employed to tax. The Democrats always ignore reality and try to increase taxes at their own peril (because they are stupid communists!).

Yeah, Ryan’s a “hard-core ideologue” who is “waging a zero sum fight over resources on behalf of the most fortunate members of society and against everybody else.”
To: GreenAccord
The more you see Ryan the more you like him.
He needs to watch his back inside the GOP as well as from the left.

The core of the Randian worldview, as absorbed by the modern GOP, is a belief that the natural market distribution of income is inherently moral, and the central struggle of politics is to free the successful from having the fruits of their superiority redistributed by looters and moochers.Not that there's anything wrong with that...

His basic moral premises are foreign, even abhorrent, to liberals.That's the core of the problem, and that's why we're headed for war.

What does the author of this scribe have to say about Obama’s plans to destroy the economy?

But his goals, which are now fully the goals of the conservative movement and the Republican Party, are diametrically opposed to the liberal vision of capitalism shorn of its cruelest edges. His basic moral premises are foreign, even abhorrent, to liberals. He seems like a person you'd like to negotiate with, but there's nothing to negotiate over. Ryan is waging a zero sum fight over resources on behalf of the most fortunate members of society and against everybody else. This hypocrisy must be called what it is. It is not the Republicans or Congressman Paul Ryan who are attempting to distort the system and impose a radical vision of the rest of us. It is not a Republican or Ryan who "offered nothing to negotiate with" rather it is the Democrats who have shut Ryan and the Republicans out of the process as they attempted to radically restructure America to the point where our citizens have left their homes and taken to the streets in protest.
The hypocrisy is plain for every American to see and millions have taken to the streets to protest it.

Being attacked by the New Republic, yet another feather in Paul Ryan’s cap.

Looks like Ryan is officially on the radar and can expect the Bachman/Palin treatment.
....the liberal vision of capitalism shorn of its cruelest edges.
a.k.a. Socialism.

I bet the lefties are digging into Ryan’s background so deep right now.
President Ryan has a nice ring to it. Maybe he can hire Mitch Rapp to help clean things up.
