An Empty vessel making announcement on another empty vessel... (Original Post)

(9,273 posts)1. Paul Ryan is not an empty vessel
He's a full one--full of evil Ayn Rand ideas of survival of the fittest, and the rest can slink off in a corner and die.
From what little I know of "objectiveism", it really means that ***I am right and everyone else is wrong.*** period, no middle ground or other opinions allowed. That is her philosophy. (BTW, at the end of her life she accepted SS and Medicare; can you say hypocrite?)
You can't follow both Ayn Rand and Jesus Christ. Pick one, Repugs.

A cesspot of Randian rugged individualism
