Senator Rand Paul was named after Ayn Rand. Rep. Ron Paul has a great deal of esteem for the writtings of Ms. Rand.
Ms. Rand's name is heard frequently among people who talk a lot, and thus pass for deep thinkers.
Do not forget that George Roche III was a ardent fan of Ayn Rand. This is the George Roche that was an important fund raiser in the Reagan years and the president of Hillsdale College in Michigan.
This is the George Roche III who touted Ms. Rand's philosophy of radical Freedom and Liberty.
This is the George Roche III who had a running affair with his daughter-in-law for years, the matter ending in her suicide on the Hillsdale campus.
Freedom and Liberty without a firm and clear Morality are Licentiousness.
Ayn Rand was an atheist and her philosophy of life is suspiciously close to an ideal of super men and women who make their own moral codes... well, it was tried and George Roche III demonstrated that the end result is Tragedy so vast and thoroughgoing that the Ancient Greek tragedians would be hard pressed to describe it in words.
