I find it odd the conservatives embrace Ayn Rand and Christianity.
I would guess that Ryan actually just practices cognitive dissonance as far as it suits his own personal feelings. -Philosophies make sense when they suit the particular way that he feels about a subject. That's almost a celebrated philosophy unto itself in the US, IMO. As an aside, why was there a second page to that article?

Yeah, I was wondering about that second page too. It must have been a way to generate more ad revenue?? That or just a mistake, but the cynical side of me thinks ad revenue.

In his views the government is a affront to religion, and it shouldn't be the main conduit for charity, the Church should. "But, b_b," you say, "he's all for government forcing religion on us vis-à-vis his social agenda." Yeah, logic doesn't matter to these people. Anyone to whom logic mattered wouldn't be a disciple of Ayn Rand, independent of their views on religion.
