‘Paul Ryan on Ayn Rand’

Yeah. That tape sure goes a long way in showing you’re not ‘obsessed’ with Ayn Rand.

Just the reason you got into public service.

“The reason I got involved in public service, by and large, if I had to credit one thinker, one person, it would be Ayn Rand,” Ryan said at a D.C. gathering four years ago honoring the author of “Atlas Shrugged” and “The Fountainhead.”

And now?

‘Paul Ryan Suddenly Does Not Embrace Ayn Rand’s Teachings’

WASHINGTON — ‘Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) tried to send the message this week that, contrary to “urban legend,” he is not obsessed with philosopher and author Ayn Rand’.

“I reject her philosophy,” Ryan told National Review on Thursday. “It’s an atheist philosophy. It reduces human interactions down to mere contracts and it is antithetical to my worldview. If somebody is going to try to paste a person’s view on epistemology to me, then give me Thomas Aquinas. Don’t give me Ayn Rand.”
