Given enough time. Old habits die hard, and if you have been brought up in a society with default assumptions it takes time to cast them aside.
For example, Ayn Rand thought nothing of committing adultery or having an abortion. These ideas are consistent with a Darwinian view of the world. It would probably have just taken her awhile to embrace eugenics, but I suspect she would have gotten there eventually.
So should the GOP align themselves more with her or stick with Adam Smith, a believer who was the founder of modern capitalism as stated in his seminal works, “The Wealth of Nations” and “The Theory of Moral Sentiments”?
Why do Rush Limbaugh and Paul Ryan utter hardly a peep about Adam Smith, but act likes Ayn Rand’s works are the best thing since sliced bread?
