Ayn Rand & GOP vs. Jesus

Christian voters must choose, Ayn Rand or Jesus. Prominent GOP leaders have praised Rand's philosophy and beliefs. But Rand made it clear that you can't follow her and Christ. The GOP budget, authored by Rand acolyte Paul Ryan, is the perfect example. Read Rand's quotes (all cited) and the praise from GOP leaders and conservative pundits for her philosophy, thinking, and morality at www.americanvaluesnetwork.org.

I choose Ayn Rand.

[piplableful]

If vermin like Rush Limbaugh called me brilliant, I would take this as an insult.

You have no answer, so you have to mock.

Typical.

James 5 is a straw man fallacy?

Or the idea that the rich withhold the pay of the poor is a fallacy?

Be clear.

"You have hoarded wealth in the last days.

Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out against you.

The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty.

You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence.

You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter.'

Good description of today's pure Free Markets, ripping off workers and raping the nation's wealth.

Jesus is aware of today's rich. They are no different than in His day.

Libertarian economics, too?

Massive tax cuts for the rich and deregulation have served the top, not the bottom.

Yet libertarians seem to know nothing about Austrian Economics, except that for them it equates to freedom ... yes ..

... the freedom of the rich to rip off the entire nation ...

with conservative econ to shield them from view.

Wow you do not know what capitalism is. Even with the Marxist interpretation, 0ad rome was not capitalist. Capitalism is life, liberty and property rights. There was no free speech, private property, and liberty when Caesar owns your life. The Marxists argue that capitalism is the stage after feudalism and did not exist until the industrial revolution. Seriously visit a library.

That is, money is the physical basis, while greed is the philosophical basis.

[TheKnowerseeker]

Coinage existed during Jesus' time, thus, so did "capitalism", just not by that name. Money is the basis for capitalism. I'm not going to argue with you over the fact that Jesus was against greed, and that greed is the single basis for capitalism. And if you and I can't even agree on a definition, then that makes any further argument pointless.

[r29]

those are your definition not JC's. There was no capitalism at Jesus's time so its impossible to know if he is a capitalist or not. You can not use modern examples to argue for the opinion of a guy who did not experience any of this. Also Jesus was a small businessman. We would call him a capitalist because he owned his means of production.
