The GOP's affinity for Ayn Rand won't go away | MSNBC

I agree that Cruz’s positions are ” far more dangerous than Trump' s “. Republican Donald Trump - and I am speaking as democratic socialist , a critical supporter of ” socialist Democrat Bernie Sanders of Vermont- this political right wing demagogue Trump is bad enough for what is left of bourgeois democracy in America.
But Trump has also been the victim of an over the top smear campaign. He is not Hitler any more than Bernie Sanders is Joe Stalin. There is nothing in Trump’s past that connects him with the rabid racism of the KKK.
To say that Ted Cruz just hates everything opposed to his religion is a little misleading. Why does this Christian sound more like Ayn Rand on social justice issues than Pope Francis who scorns the values of global capitalism ?
In fact, Senator Ted Cruz read from the Ayn Rand cult classic ” Atlas Shrugged ” while trying to defeat Obamacare on the floor of the U.S. Congress.
This follower of Jesus said( see You Tube video of his speech ) that we are living in the time of Ayn Rand. Ayn Rand was a militant atheist and also a militant Zionist who thought the Palestinians were inferior to the Jewish settlers of Israel.
In fact, nearly all the Republican candidates have been or still are besotted by Ayn Rand Thought. What does her ” Virtue of Selfishness ” have in common with the Jesus ” Sermon on the Mount ” ?
Black astrophysicist Neil De Grasse Tyson thinks that Jesus would anoint the Jewish ” socialist ” Bernie Sanders.
