She's what we call an infiltrator . Shes one of those people within conservatism who claim to oppose neoconservatism and support paleo conservatives , but its a fraud . She is a neocon who opposes neoconservatism , but only because its NOT NEOCONSERVATIVE ENOUGH ! The purpose of the Randians is to oppose Neoconservatism and pretend to support Paleoconservatism , to trick the paleocons into following them . From there , The Randians push Neoconservatism further and further away from Paleo-conservatism , and make it more and more tyrannical . You know who were also basically no different than the Randians ? The Trotskyites . The Trotskyites saw the nonsense that Nixon and his minions were doing - how they were turning true conservatism into faux , big government conversatism . And so they opposed this fake conservatism , and pretended to support true conservatism . But their opposition to Nixon wanst that he was too Neocon . He was not neocon enough . So the Trotskyites duped the libertarians and paleocons into supporting them , and opposed Nixonian conservatism only to make a form even worse . Enter Reagan and Bush , the Trotskyite puppets . Randians will only " Solve the Bush problem " in the same way Trotskyites " solved the nixon problem " by installing Reagan and Bush . Problem - Reaction - Solution . Typical Elitist/Illuminati hegelian mindgame . Randians only oppose neocons to support an even worse form of Neocons . Hey , what can you expect from Atheistic , Apathetic people who care about themselves and their own self gratification and nothing about others and the right thing ? Its no different then the new agers and luciferians . " Me , me , me all the time , no right thing , no morality , its all about me and my self gratification " . Absolutely disgusting . come on , Ayn Rand herself was a neocon . She’s what we call an infiltrator .

He credits the author of The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged as the person most responsible for inspiring him to get into politics.

I tried sending you a note thanking you for your work at BHL and everywhere else but your Brown e-mail address was invalid. Also, great post here. The attempts to link Paul Ryan to libertarianism over the last couple weeks have been relentless and intellectually dishonest. Work like this helps set the record straight. Ryan is no libertarian.
