Republicans have elevated malignant narcissism to a political philosophy, and the crappy novels of a literal sociopath, Ayn Rand, to the dogma of a cult of greed for emotionally stunted and perpetually dumb dupes. ...and Teabagger, Dave Brat, who just ousted Eric Cantor, is another acolyte of Ayn Rands sickness. Brat, you’ll be delighted to hear, is an economics professor at Randolph-Macon College who counts the fantastically nutty Ayn Rand as his intellectual hero. Not another one! Paul Ryan was about as much Randian baloney as we could swallow. But there could be another course coming: As Samantha Lachman reported, the professor gets dough from the banking sector to push Rand’s libertarian nonsense on college students: Brat has taught classes for a program sponsored by BB&T bank that aims to spread Ayn Rands principles to college students. Brat got a $500,000 grant from the bank to bring the program to Randolph-Macon College and co-authored a paper titled ‘An Analysis of the Moral Foundations in Ayn Rand.’” Yeah... moral - like the VIRTUE of Selfishness. Every day is opposite day in Republican Bizarro World.
