AYN RYAN
Not to worry republican Romney supporters because Paul Ryan has already denied ever supporting Ayn Rands philosophies.
Yup as soon as a national Catholic organization questioned Ryan on supporting Ayn Rand who incidentally was an avowed atheist well…
wouldn’t ya know it Paul Ryan started to vehemently deny it. Does the Conservative Republican pro Catholicism right wing actually now believe Paul Ryan when he now says that he placed little to no value on Rand’s philosophies just because he said he did not………?
Yea but Paul…what about this ?
Now being perfectly honest here my friends as many of you already know I am not a huge fan of the Roman Catholic Church and so I will not even attempt to try and follow the logic which states that it is Ayn Rands atheistic
views as they relate to Paul Ryan that really disturb me.
Nope not for me….no for me it is saying so vehemently that he grew up reading and idealizing her so much that he now requires her readings read by his own staff in his own office. It is the Ayn Rand ethic…or lack there of that I find highly offensive about Mr.Ryan…..oh yea and lying about it now so early on in this campaign as well….but then again one does not have to wonder why Mitt Romney chose Paul Ryan as his V.P. choice…after all the ethics are without question are aligned as perfectly as the planets are……..
Thank you

So… In 2012, we have a Catholic, a Mormon, a Black Evangelical Protestant (whose secretly a Moslem) and a Randroid Atheist.
Wow!
OHHH NOZZZZ Who knew….lol
From Catholic and Protestant Bishops, to the 40-religion advocacy group PICO, representatives of various faiths have shown disdain for Ryan’s 2013 House Republican budget, which passed on March 29. Faith in Public Life, a strategy center for religious groups, has been documenting opposition to Ryan’s budget for months. The group provided Salon with a collection of anti-budget statements and letters on behalf of religious leaders.
Ryan, a staunch conservative and Roman Catholic, has drawn ire from followers of his own faith. While Catholicism emphasizes caring for the poor, Ryan’s proposed budget would cut many of the programs that do so. As The New York Times reported, Ryan’s plan would trim “$3.3 trillion from low-income programs over 10 years,” dropping Medicaid coverage for 14-28 million people and eliminating 17 percent of SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program),” which covers food stamps.
But Ryan seems to think his plan has a Catholic sensibility. Here, in a talk at Georgetown University captured by PBS, Ryan quoted Pope Benedict in an effort to drum up support for his budget. Father Thomas Reese, of Woodstock Theological Seminary at Georgetown, rebuked it, saying “You can’t quote Pope Benedict to support this budget.”
Ryan also spoke to the Christian Broadcasting Network in April about the role of his Catholic faith in shaping the budget, “The preferential option for the poor, which is one of the primary tenants of Catholic social teaching, means don’t keep people poor, don’t make people dependent on government so that they stay stuck at their station in life.”
Some religious groups are fed up with Ryan’s contradictions. The Half in Ten campaign, which aims to reduce U.S. poverty by half during the next decade, released a slew of anti-budget remarks from American religious leaders and intellectuals in March.

I think when Right wingers say if we cut a social program it will balance the budget. THey should be executed when it doesn’t work.
George Bush cut back on all sorts of Social programs and gave us restructured MediCare to save money. He saved us right into bankruptcy.
American politicians give me a headache. I have only one thing to say. “December 21, 2012. BOOM!” lol.
