Good article, only because it shows what kind of task we have before us. To me, Ryan's love of Ayn Rand is the only thing that indicates a slight change in politics as usual. I don't like that Ryan backed off his statements a bit on Rand because he was worried that he would be viewed as an extremist, like we are all viewed. But there is no gray area on this issue. One side is right and one side is wrong. The people who are wrong call Ayn Rand an extremist because they don't wish to admit their failure. But they are still wrong.
