Paul Ryan's Weird Religion

Money is the barometer of a society’s virtue. ~ Ayn Rand

Paul Ryan's religion, Randism, makes Mormonism seem downright mainstream. It is difficult to plum the depths of Randism, not because its complex but because it is so pedantic. Ayn Rand lacked poetry or an ability to express herself succinctly. Basically, Randism believes...

• Selfishness is the greatest virtue.
• Charity is the greatest sin.
• The only moral duty is to achieve ever greater wealth.
• There are superior men (i.e. the wealthy).
• All others are "subhuman" who need to be "enslaved" and "controlled."
• "Democracy is a totalitarian manifestation; it is not a form of freedom."
• There should be a "democracy of superiors only."

Paul Ryan's worshipful adherence to the Cult of Ayn Rand is terrifying.
