The Truth About GOP Hero Ayn Rand

Some of the right's leading political and media lights
have heaped praise upon Rand. The author of the
Republicans' new budget plan to gut Medicare and
Medicaid, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI), has said Rand is the
reason he entered politics. Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) and
Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) have both declared themselves
devotees of her writing. Conservative Supreme Court
Justice Clarence Thomas has his law clerks watch the
film adaptation of Rand's book The Fountainhead. She's
also received accolades from right-wing pundits Sean
Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, John Stossel, and
Andrew Napolitano.

During her lifetime, Rand advocated "the virtue of
selfishness," declared altruism to be "evil," opposed
Medicare and all forms of government support for the
middle-class and the poor, and condemned Christianity
for advocating love and compassion for the less
fortunate. Uploaded by ThinkProgressVideo.

Women's Rights Advocates Make 'Hey' of Ryan's Record

has taken on women' reproductive rights, from his

some times of contraception, as well as in vitro
fertilization.
