It is refreshing to at last hear a politician speak the truth of his agenda. I bemoaned Paul Ryan running from his philosophical touchstone by denying Ayn Rand as Peter the Apostle denied Jesus. Yet, his massive lie, was it not Machiavellian in placing political expediency before truth? Mitt Romney, albeit caught on a surreptitious video when he believed himself speaking only to wealthy donors, spoke truth in a manner that clearly shows the Republican tickets commitment to the inevitable class war. Unlike Ryan, Romney did not run from his statement.
Mr. Romney boldly stated that “47 percent of the people” who will vote for Mr. Obama “no matter what” because they believe they are “entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you name it.” He continued these people “are people who pay no income tax” and says “so our message of low taxes doesn’t connect.” He concluded that “my job is not to worry about those people. I’ll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives.”
Here at last is the Objectivism of Ayn Rand made manifest and thankfully Mitt Romney did not flee like that little girl, Paul Ryan, from the task. He stood firm stating while it was “not elegantly stated” that he had made similar observations in public without generating controversy. One can only hope, for his sake, that he is not exposed as having paid no taxes himself.
Objectivism, Mr. Ryan, does not mesh with Christianity as you found to your embarrassment. Thankfully Mitt Romney is NO CHRISTIAN!
Let us speak the truth, for a truth that is kept silent becomes a poison. Mitt Romney epitomizes the Objectivist hero of Ayn Rand. He does not merely look down upon these 47 percent but grew in a church where the doctrine under which he was raised to adulthood held as follows:
On June 9, 1978, Mormon church leaders announced a very important change in their doctrine concerning blacks. They stated that blacks would now be given “all of the privileges and blessings which the gospel affords.” Heretofore the Mormon position was stated thusly: “From the days of the Prophet Joseph even until now, it has been the doctrine of the Church, never questioned by any of the Church leaders, that the Negroes are not entitled to the full blessings of the Gospel”
This was the teaching of his church until 1978! We are all supposed to be too politically correct to even mention this. However, one cannot deny the fervent racial animosity toward Obama that is barely hidden in this year’s election. With Romney hailing from a church that just a generation ago denied the very humanity of the Black man, is he not so exquisitely the antithesis of Obama?
Meld this religious belief with that of Ryan’s Catholicism wherein while women can publicly pray and prophesy in church (1 Cor. 11:1–16), they can not teach or have authority over a man (1 Tim. 2:11–14), since these are two essential functions of the clergy. Nor can women publicly question or challenge the teaching of the clergy; a clergy that seemingly protects pedophiles with even more enthusiasm than it subjugates women.
Romney and Ryan are resolved to reduce the budget deficit by eviscerating entitlements. This is going to be a hard-nosed business approach that has already written off 47% of the citizenry. This is very bold yet not unexpected given their backgrounds. As we observe the growing gap between rich and poor, as we herald the coming of the Occupiers and the Tea Party, be deaf to the approaching storm at your own peril. Listen to the thunder!
I do understand the intellectual struggle of the Catholic, Paul Ryan, who cannot mesh his religion with the intellectual allure of Ayn Rand. I was a Nietzschean before I had ever heard of Frederich Nietzsche. The thought of a Black man on welfare brought to my mind the call that what is falling we must also push. That is what my father taught that it is only in the heat of the crucible that steel is made. Romney and Ryan are committed to that idea. There is little doubt but that they intend to dump the lower classes into the hellfire of the cauldron.
If they win, the question is how will we emerge: as tempered steel or cowering slaves.
