IS THIS THE BEST THEY CAN DO?

PAINT A DEVOUT CATHOLIC AS A DEVOTE OF AN ATHEIST?

LOOKS LIKE GUILT BY ASSOCIATION.

I BELIEVE THE SUN RISES IN THE EAST, SO DOES ADOLF HITLER, THEREFORE, I AM AN ANTI-SEMITE?

[MrB]

Wow! The list above is almost as good as your parody!

[C19fan]

Rather have a disciple of Rand then a follower of Christian Socialism like the USCB.

[DoughtyOne]

You can dearly love certain aspects of someone’s writings, and not identify with their full spectrum of beliefs.

I’m not an atheist. I do think at least some of Ayne Rand’s writings are quite good.

The DNCp is so full of hate.

[kempster]

Isn’t it possible to have two inspirations, one religious and one political philosophy? And, one could be somewhat contradictory to the other on certain issues, but both can be beneficial to restoring both faith and fiscal responsibility in this country.

[PapaBear3625]

I suppose that it’s even more objectionable for a Christian to like the philosophy of a pagan like Aristotle.

[DTogo]

militant atheist activist Ayn Rand

So what does that make Bill Ayers and Jeremiah Wright??

[YankeeReb]

As the title said, Let the smear Begin
AxelGrease and the boys from Chicago have NOTHING positive
for this so called president to run on, so his ever complaint
media will paint the opposition as the second coming of Hitler.
Who cares if it's true or even if it sticks for more than a week at a time,
at least it keeps the focus off the train wreck of an economy.
Sadly, the average boob (aka "the undecided independent voter")
only hears the smear in between episodes of American Idol and their vote counts the same as yours & mine.

A lot of Christians are fans of Rand's philosophy. There is a lot to learn from her, especially on economic and liberty issues without having to accept her atheism.

I think as a Catholic, Ryan is being true to St. Thomas Aquinas' philosophy, ~truth is truth no matter where it is found~.

Christian Objectivism

[rockrr]

Sounds like my kind of guy.

[duckman]

Looks like the rats had a smear ready for all the GOP VP picks.

[WilliamofCarmichael]

Ryan's favorite philosopher . . . made it her life mission to kill God and replace Him with man.

It is simply an appeal to the aged 1960s Marxist-Alinsky campus radicals (psycho spoiled brats) and their bratty ideological issue that's all that means.

[brewcrew]

Bring it, Aravosis.

[Biggirl]

The “mudslinging” has already begun. With the London summer olympics winding down, a new olympics has begun, the 2012 USA Presidential race.

[denydenydeny]

So is Ryan a radical Randian or a radical theocrat? (These are exactly opposite positions of course).

[9YearLurker]

Mr. Andrea Mitchell was also a fan of Ms. Rand. He seems to have been acceptable.

[muir_redwoods]

I have no idea what Milton Friedman thought about his Jewish faith or any other religion but I know he was absolutely right about the economy. To fault Ryan or Rand for matters of religion and to ignore the economic message of both is to be grasping at straws. This is a pitiable attack.

[From The Deer Stand]

Like Rush says, you know who the Left fears by who they attack. Ryan will chew up and spit out these Lefties, and they know it. There’s a new sheriff in town!

[Califreak]

I can’t stand Ayn Rand as a person, but Atlas Shrugged is a visionary masterpiece and very important to me.

I wish more people would read it. Maybe they will now if only out of morbid curiousity.

[csmusaret]

Obviously written by fans of Barack Oblama.

[WorkerbeeCitizen]

Wel Mr. John Aravosis, have considered another line of work or perhaps a hobby?
