Title: "Cher" Explains Ayn Rand...

WARNING: My brief comment below contains sarcasm, derision, and ridicule.  Reader discretion is advised.


This little story made me laugh heartily this morning; thought that I'd share it.  Political Science Philosopher, MENSA member, and "Noted Religious Scholar", Cher, has published an learn-ed and erudite essay via Twitter on Mormonism, Paul Ryan, and Ayn Rand, excerpted from Twitchy, all emphasis is my own:

Cher explains Mormon ‘tenants’
Posted at 9:40 am on August 15, 2012 by Twitchy Staff
After coming under fire for a bigoted tweet about Mitt Romney’s “magic underwear”, noted religious scholar Cher finally decided to find answers to her questions about those darn secretive Mormons. Apparently she now considers herself fully qualified to fill us in on Mormon “tenants.”
 
Do they pay the rent on time? Are they considerate neighbors? Do they clean up after their pets? C’mon, Cher. We’ve got to know!
 
The incoherent diva also shared her thoughts on Paul Ryan and his supposed devotion to Ayn Rand’s “tenants”...

We’re not really familiar with Rand’s time as a landlord, but we’re guessing she wasn’t big on the idea of rent control.

So much dumb there.

I find it odd that Ayn Rand has seen such a dramatic spike in political discussions since the Ryan pick.

is a total fail, on so many levels.

Religion & morality is the primary "tenant" in which Rand and most Republicans (including Ryan) part ways, and drastically.

If you'll notice, GarMan (I think) has had a quote of Rand's in his sig for a while.

Most objective Republicans are very familiar with Rand already. I think the left is scrambling on this, I really do.

Rand is a demi-God to Libertarians, and has been considered such since the party formed.
